Sunday on the green square of Léopold-Goryl, for the 1/16 € final of the Aveyron Cup, the ESC achieved a choice performance by falling the defending champion Naucelle 2-1, who is playing a level above in D1.
“We knew that Naucelle was a great team and that we would have to pull out all the stops to shake them up. That’s what my players did by showing intelligence and solidarity,” summed up Combinois coach Faridi Aboubacari with a smile afterward. the final trill. For the first act, the Combinois played against the disruptive wind. They had difficulty putting their game down and only had one chance during this period, in the 10th minute.
Locals who did not want to reveal themselves at the risk of being caught by a great Naucellois team who, technically and collectively, mastered their subject. Despite the wind, the visitors played fair and put banderillas in the local defense. Except that this defense, well grouped around the “stainless” Miguel, always well placed, proved difficult for the canaries to get around and when they succeeded, the goalkeeper did the job.
Combes plays every shot
Which meant that at the break, the two teams returned to the locker room with a draw of 0-0.
From the start of the second act, the locals showed more urgency.
50th minute, the metronome Daoud in the area heads the ball towards his attacker Guillaume, except that the trajectory means that the leather will lodge in the opposite window and 1-0 for Combes. However, goalkeeper Alex is called upon and stops some hot action from the Canaries. On the restart, Daoud inherits the ball and throws Guillaume Falippou in depth who doesn't need to be asked to take the visiting defense ahead of him and double the score (75th).
Naucelle does not give up, but comes up against Alex who will only be caught in stoppage time, and will preserve the victory of the “black and white”, who will host Moyrazes in the championship on Sunday.
