Haut-Jura. Football: Defeated on penalties, Jura Sud Foot on the verge of the feat… | Jura: all the local information

Last Saturday, after the 90 minutes of regulation play, the two teams from Jura Sud (N2) and Annecy (L2), found themselves deciding, in the fateful penalty shootout phase, with the two opposing goalkeepers as the only ones. guardians of the temple.
However, after a first salvo of 5 unsuccessful cannon shots for each team, came the so-called “sudden death” series, where the first to score won.
In this game, the professionals from Annecy, a league 2 team, found themselves best equipped to fight. The Jura player Abdoulaye Baradji, however author of a leap shot low to the ground to the right of goalkeeper Thomas Callens, saw his shot deflected by the Haut-Savoie goalkeeper with a firm hand and his arm outstretched as desired.
Mass was said, no 32^th final for the Jura. A very cruel outcome for Valentin Guichard's men, having delivered a very good match, particularly in the second half.
The history of Football, however, teaches us that victory in the Coupe de France is sometimes won for nothing. And the same goes for defeat.

A second half to the credit of Jura Sud…

To illustrate the flow of the match, we can note that the first period actually took place without too many problems, apart from a poor restart in the second minute from goalkeeper Jorjet, and a sudden and lively strike from Jura Gourville (15th), in the opposing area, which unfortunately only grazed the post.
Otherwise during this first act, the Jurassians were on par with the league 2 residents, with aerial play, as well as play on the ground.
Then came the second act, during which in fact the only highlights were caused by the Jura attacks, whose shots had already shattered on the solid gloves of the Savoyard goalkeeper.
All this allowed the public to shout, if not vociferate as much as they wanted, in order to warm up in a rather cool atmosphere, and at the same time to encourage their protégés in a beautiful atmosphere with some rather nice smoke bombs.
At the end Jura Sud therefore fails at the gates of the 32nd, after 8 successful rounds.
But this last failure was experienced with heads held high, and the feeling of having lost without having surrendered…
