Cognac : 3
Chamois Niortais: 0
The meeting began with a bang for the Charentais, since Vignaud saw his head pushed back on the line (3e), before Mazeau saw his shot brush the post after a nice breakthrough (9e). After several missed opportunities, Cognac finally found the fault, shortly before the half-hour mark.
A decisive double before the break
Yet very solid this season, Mayoulika releases a harmless ball which Vignaud will take advantage of to score the first goal of the match in the empty goal (1-0, 29e). The Cognacais will put a second blow behind the heads of the young Niortais five minutes later. On another set piece taken perfectly by Aubert, Baraka rises to the far post and places an unstoppable header (2-0, 36e).
Despite a better reaction in the last quarter of an hour, Damien Charron's players returned to the locker room with a logical disadvantage.
Mayoulika saves the furniture, but the Niortais lack realism
The start of the second period will be to the advantage of the locals, who with several well-constructed actions appear dangerous, but Mayoulika multiplies the parades in front of Mazeau (50e), then Martins (52e), to avoid sinking. Better, the Chamois reacted through Traoré who came up against Gérard (55e).
Despite Niort's efforts, Cognac remains master of its subject. Raspiengeas illuminates the end of the match with his breakthroughs, however failing to materialize twice (67e72e). Same thing on the other side of the field, with Tamou who almost reduced the score in front of Gérard (74e).
Aubert seals Cognac's victory
The coup de grace finally comes at the end of the match: Aubert, omnipresent in the heart of the game, seals the score with a perfectly adjusted shot (3-0, 90e). Charente did not succeed in Niortais, who after their first defeat at Linars (3-0), lost for the second time this season.
The truce comes at the right time for the young people of Niort who will be able to recharge their batteries before re-attacking 2025 full of ambition.

Hot
Damien Charron (Chamois coach): “It’s clear that we didn’t come for this result, and it was the opportunity to face a top team, but we see that in this match in any case there was no has no photo. We were weaker than the opponents in both areas and despite our goalkeeper's saves, we couldn't really worry theirs. I really liked the reaction we had in the first half after a lot of excitement in the first quarter of an hour, but we still lacked accuracy in the last twenty meters. The conclusion is there for this evening, it is a disappointment and we will have to make as few errors as possible to hope to position ourselves at the top of the table for the rest of the season. »
