Tours FC qualifies after the suspense against US Montagnarde

US Montagnarde (R1): 1
Tours FC (R1) : 1 (3-4 tab)

The people of Tourange will indeed see the 8^e Cup round! At the end of an indecisive duel, which was decided on penalties, they won in Morbihan.

Their opponent US Montagnarde, who revealed among others the captain of FC Nantes of the heyday, Gilbert Le Chenadec, and recently the defender of Dinamo de Zagreb Maxime Bernauer, was nevertheless a regular in the Coupe de France. The qualification of the Tourangeaux was all the more flavorful for Bryan Bergougnoux who has seen others in his long playing career.

“I am proud to come and win in this legendary stadium of the Coupe de France, with this magnificent audience, savors the TFC coach. The goal is to share. We would like to make history by going as far as possible in this competition which has never really succeeded for me as a player.”

A complicated end to the match

In any case, it was a very nice meeting offered by the Montagnards and Tourangeaux. If the blacksmiths opened the brand by Saouré (5^e), the Tourangeaux equalized through Randazzo before the break (42^e).

After turning their backs on the Touraine attacks in the second half, Louis Millotte's partners put in a remarkable end to the match. Like a Youenn Tanguy on fire, the locals were going to push the TFC to their limits.

The turning point of the match will be the magnificent goal refused to Montagnard Souaré, for a not obvious offside position (75^e). In the process, Montagnard captain Guillaume Rouzic saw his shot hit Amrani's post. And it was again the Touraine goalkeeper who stopped the Montagnard captain's shot just afterwards (77^e).

Rais Amrani: “A feat to come and win here”

In the penalty shootout lottery, it was the Touraines who showed themselves to be the most realistic. As during their last adventures in the Coupe de France against Drancy, Compiègne and Saumur, the Montagnards faltered in this area.

“It’s an achievement to come and win here” welcomed the Touraine hero of the match, namely the goalkeeper Rais Amrani who diverted the shots on goal from the Montagnard captain Guillaume Rouzic and that of the defender Charly Now.

And 8^e tour to the Cher Valley facing Cesson (N3)
