Just like FC Martigues and Grenoble Foot,Amiens SC also fell by the wayside in the 32nd finals of the French Cup ! It is a third club of Ligue 2 who is already eliminated by a team of amateurs this December 21, while the ES Thaon once again plays a bad trick on a formation that it had already eliminated in the past.

Against Thaon, who had already beaten him on penalties a handful of years earlier, the clubAmiens SC thought this time to avoid disillusionment and had even taken the meeting the right way quite early this Saturday. In a highlight, a corner from Leautey in the 20th minute found the header perfectly.Osaze Urhoghide. Well thrown, it leaves no chance for the opposing goalkeeper. After having done the hardest part, Omar Daf's men are finally not in an armchair but rather put in difficulty by a daring and ambitious Thaon team in the game, which obtains a few half-chances without however concretely threatening the opposing cages . On the other hand, Leautey came close to putting his team in safety but missed his face to face with Raphaël Rodriguez, who kept his team alive. A parade all the more important since after the break, the first opportunity is the right one for Thaon-les-Vosges!
Indeed, at the start of the second half, it was Loris Petitpain which materializes a situation for the locals after a ball that Alexis Sauvage undoubtedly wanted to catch was released, no doubt because of the surprise at the start of the opponent's shot! The N3 fans put the two teams back on an equal footing on the scoreboard and showed a good face, even if the Picards came to their senses and suffocated the Blues with significant pressure and a series of numerous set pieces, without however hitting the mark again. It was even the EST who shook the nets again in the 84th minute when the incoming Lecoanet manages to get past the Amiens defense due to a big communication error between the players and the goalkeeper! A third goal was even scored by the locals, ultimately logically canceled for offside, but Amiens will spend the end of year celebrations without qualifying but with a bitter taste in the mouth (final score 2-1).
