A French Cup round is only positive if victory is achieved at the end.
FC Martigues, which had been able to improve its draws during previous meetings, against Allobroges and Valence, saw this to its cost. While his presence in the 32nd final could have given rise to a great story, it was stopped. And it was Bourgoin-Jallieu, a coincidence of history, who put an end to the “blood and gold” dreams. Twenty-eight years after a first confrontation which had smiled on the Martégaux, history has not repeated itself. The Berjalliens offering themselves a revenge which does not suffer from any dispute.
Faced with the residents of National 3, the Martégaux gave the stick to be beaten. Offering the first three goals to their opponents, they were never able to get their heads out of the bag. Even when Mahame Siby seemed to get his team back on track, the Martian reaction unfortunately did not last.
By each scoring a double, Pierre Kohser and Celal Bozkurt placed the “Dauphins” on the royal road. Taking advantage of the offerings of the Martegale defense in the first period. Before hitting the nail on the head in the second, when Martigues seemed to resurface again.
Ibrahim Rachidi, who arrived at the club after the dismissal of Thierry Laurey, tried in vain to find solutions to prevent his team from taking a new turn. A qualification for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, before finding Francis Turcan, could have been the starting point for a rebound. But by being humiliated by Bourgoin-Jallieu, it is an unwelcome shipwreck in the troubled waters of the Bourbre which closes the year.
Could it cool Jean-Pierre Papin, who would be interested in the coaching position? The next few days will tell.
