Local daelyn. Local Friday 20th December 2024 08:03 PM REPORT

Potato fields, Crédit Agricole jerseys and gloved players, a perfect Friday evening.

0 points for the National clubs, exploits for the Espaviots, for Haguenau, and Mérignac close to bringing down Laval, this inaugural evening of the 32^es of the Coupe de France final was rich in emotions.

→ Surprises

Haguenau played a bad game in the second of National. Boulogne-sur-Mer fell, and roughly (4-1). On its Alsatian lands, the N2 team benefited from a big start on the counterattack and a completely crazy exit from Victor Delins, the second goalkeeper from Boulogne-sur-Mer. Gil Lawson, himself at the origin of the exclusion, then escaped on his own to score the second goal. Then the third. With his 30 years and his ten clubs (Bulgarian and French), the winger had a perfect match: two goals, two assists and a forced expulsion. The Alsatians reached the round of 16 of the Coupe de France for the first time in their history. The Haguenau clubhouse deserves to be renamed.

Another feat, in Haute-Loire. Before its neighbor Puy-en-Velay meets Montpellier this weekend, Rocher d'Espaly stood up against the Dijonnais. Reduced to 10 against 11, the National guys were taken by the solidity of the N3, who held out until the penalty shootout (1-1, 4-3 at TAB).

→ Formalities

Bastia lacked a little precision (Amine Boutrah, Christophe Vincent) at the start of the match against Saint-Joseph, but then unfolded (5-1). Lisandru Tramoni was first on the lookout to break the deadlock, then the biggest dribbler in Ligue 2 was on the pass. First for Clément Rodrigues, then for Dumè Guidi. The local allowed the Bastiais to breathe two thirds of the match and to wish the Martinicans a good return.

In the 100% Ligue 2 duel, Troyes confirmed its good form by defeating Metz (3-0). Renaud Ripart scored his double. The Trojans have only lost one game in the last two months.

→ Close matches

Usually intended to host rugby, the Jard de Mérignac stadium saw Laval struggle to dispose of the R1 club. The Laval residents had to wait for the penalties, which veterans Malik Tchokounté and Anthony Gonçalves (74 years old between them) took first. (0-0, 3-4 at TAB). Benjamin Dubois, for the locals, had nevertheless succeeded in his panenka. Laval spent its last three rounds on penalties.

FC Annecy also struggled against Goal FC (1-2). In the Ludovic-Giuly stadium, it was the unfortunate Nathan Tanard who precipitated the defeat of the Rhodaniens at the end of the match, scoring against his side.

Still plenty of exploits planned for tomorrow.
