Football: in the Women's French Cup, quiet qualification for Nîmes against Jacou

Nîmes Football Féminin (D3) continues its journey in the Coupe de France. After having crushed Montpellier Lunaret Nord (D1) 9-0, the Gard club obtained a clear and flawless qualification for the fifth round on Saturday, November 2, by winning a solid victory against the courageous Héraultaises (4-1).

Domination and pressure from Nîmoises

The first period is copiously dominated by the Nîmes. They impose a lot of pressure, they recover many balls and create chances, but Jacou (R1) holds on. The Héraultaises fight, without managing to gain the upper hand. The gap of a division between the two teams is felt and ends up materializing on the scoreboard.

Nîmes opened the scoring with a Hérault defensive error; Fofana finds herself alone in front of the goals and scores (1-0, 15th). Olivier Bonnes' protégés don't intend to stop there. Jacou makes another mistake and Benchao doubles the lead following an indirect free kick in the area (2-0, 20th).

Fatal defensive errors for Jacou

Weighed down by their defensive errors, the Héraultaises did not give up. But a new lack of understanding within the rearguard benefits Kaboré, who finds himself facing Gaudre (3-0, 31st).

Overwhelmed in the first period, Jacou's players started the second better. On a counter, Germe, after overtaking the Nîmes defense, has the opportunity to reduce the score but his shot goes over (49th).

The Nîmes in control

Despite everything, the Nîmes always kept control of the ball even if the Jacoumardes seemed more enterprising and played with more desire, like this defensive return full of courage at the hour mark.

The Nîmes, who lead their boat seriously, are serene and always dangerous (69th, 72nd). They are rewarded with a final goal from De Azevedo from a corner (4-0, 79th). The qualification is in the bag. Jacou, who gave everything, has the merit of saving the honor through Doyen (4-1, 85th).
