Puy Foot crushes Montpellier in the second half
In the second half, the game becomes more balanced and the chances become rare. Montpellier is starting to doubt. Puy Foot remains solid and diligent. After a first opportunity shortly before the hour mark, the Ponots created the best situations. The people of Hérault are making many changes but nothing is working.
And around the 70th minute of play, Nicolas Pays delivers Massot following a superb collective action. The public begins to believe it… and Montpellier takes on water. Barely three minutes later, Yann Dielbold heads in and it makes it 3-0. The match turns into a correction for the Ligue 1 team. At the very end of the match, Puy Foot scored a fourth and final goal through Davel Mayela. Massot is in meltdown and the Ponots are in 16th by eliminating a new professional team at home.
At the end of the match, Nicolas Pays, still excellent this evening, wants to stay “humble. We faced a great team from Montpellier, but we played a real Cup match“. Coach Stéphane Dief was widely acclaimed by the public. The coach of the Ciels et Blancs explains this victory “ through work and enthusiasm. Modestly, we had prepared our move and it worked really well ».
The two Altiligère teams, Puy Foot and FC Espaly, are now impatiently awaiting the draw for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. It is scheduled for this Sunday, December 22 at 8 p.m.
