the essential
This Sunday evening, the Marmandais were logically swept away by the Manceaux in the 32nd round of the Coupe de France.
This time there was no miracle, not even a little. In ten minutes, Le Mans made the hierarchy of French football talk by scoring two goals and at half-time, the match was clearly already over (0-4, 45th). Everything went too quickly for Nicolas Florès' players, without them ever giving up, neither their arms, nor their heads, nor ever stopping playing throughout the game, even when the score was lost. largely weighed down by two additional units at the start of the second half, then by a seventh goal. The Manceaux, for their part, did not need to exert their talent to exclude Petit Poucet from the competition.
Marmande was simply helpless
Playing their luck seriously, the Le Mans players were able to avoid the pitfalls of a Coupe de France match by quickly leading the score. They never relaxed their grip on the match and on the Marmandais who were quickly overtaken by the professionals from Sarthe. The magnitude of the score does not detract from the superb performance of FC Marmande in this Coupe de France, nor from the valiant attitude of the players who fought until the end despite this score of 7-0. The tributes received from the 3,000 spectators who came to support them were proof of the duty accomplished by the FCM. Now time for a well-deserved rest, before resuming the day-to-day affairs of the championship and the ambition of moving up to Regional 1.
