Faced with an opponent playing in D4, Pays d'Uzès (R2) did not tremble on Sunday and qualified without problem for the round of 16 of the Gard-Lozère Cup.
Five divisions separated Rhône Gardon from Pays d'Uzès, Sunday January 5. The gap was too big for the D4 team, in this 32nd final of the Gard-Lozère Cup, to be able to worry the Ducaux who quietly dominated the debates.
From the start, the Uzétiens took control of the game. The Rhône Gardon players were grouped in the last thirty-five meters and struggled to get the balls out. Despite its territorial domination, Uzès does not really bring danger to Benelli's goals.
Uzès above physically and technically
The first attempt is in favor of the D4 team, a strike from Oufkir at the edge of the area which does not worry Ibanez. Above technically and physically, the Regional 2 team ends up finding the fault thanks to Di Meglio. On a cross from Diaby, the Ducal captain perfectly adjusts Benelli (0-1, 24th).
The technical sheet
Rhône Gardon (D4) – Pays d’Uzès (R2): 0-5.
Montfrin, Jean-Quittard stadium.
Half time: 0-3.
Referee: Noham Braza.
Goals for Uzès: Di Meglio (24e), Lesachey (43e csc), Remond (45e + 1, 59e), Challard (90e).
Warnings in Rhône Gardon: Zerouali (45th + 1), Dahmani (70th).
The Uzégeois continue to put their foot on the ball, making their opponents run. The pressure increases and the break arrives. Launched in depth, Diaby crosses and sees Lesachey tackle the leather in his own net (0-2, 43rd). The Belromari players demanded an offside position at the start of the action but Diaby was well covered by Lesachey.
Remond scorer, Diaby passer
After this second goal, Rhône Gardon completely left the match. Zerouali, on a free kick 25 meters from his goal, made the mistake of passing the ball to Remond who went alone to challenge Benelli and conclude quietly (0-3, 45th + 1).
When you restart, nothing changes. The players of the Entente Comps-Meynes-Montfrin have still not digested the second goal conceded. Pays d'Uzès can therefore manage peacefully. And Remond achieves the double on a new assist from Diaby who was a real poison for the defenders (0-4, 59th).
ESRG suffers physically and, at the very end of the game, concedes a fifth goal from Challard (0-5, 90th).
