Despite the territorial domination and in possession for the professionals, the meeting between AS Cannes (N2) at Grenoble Foot 38 (L2) turned sour this Saturday, December 21! And the magic of the Coupe de France worked with an inferior team on paper which was very clearly inspired from the start of the match, like its striker Julien Domingues, author of two goals in the 9th and 19th minutes for capsize a well-filled stadium. Théo Valls had equalized in the meantime (12th) but it was the Azuréens, decidedly more sharp and enthusiastic, who took off with the inimitable Cheikh Ndoye, who deployed his 91 meter in the air to head a ball and catapulting him into the back of the Isère nets (39th). Even if another goal will be scored, it is ultimately the ambitious Dragons who perform very well and qualify for the round of 16, with a score of three goals to two, keeping their heads cool throughout the entire second half. . On the other hand, despite the late reduction of the gap by Nesta Zahui (90th + 1) for the honor, the GF sinks further into the crisis and worries, proving that the only ousting of Oswald Tanchot was not enough to change the destiny of Alpine training…

If you thought Grenoble's elimination in Cannes was humiliating enough, it's even worse for FC Martigues who completely foiled on the lawn of Bourgoin-Jallieu, resident of N3! The red lantern of Ligue 2, who also parted ways with Thierry Laurey in recent days, had a bad afternoon at the FCBJ who did not hang around to take the lead in their meeting, with Kohser author of the The score opened in the 3rd minute of the game. Bozkurt (11th) quickly imitates his teammate and just after the realization of the hope signed by Siby (23rd), Kohser adds another layer and plunges the Martéguaux even further into crisis! Resigned, the visitors even conceded a fourth time through the second Berjallien scorer in the 2nd period (65th), completing a great success for the Isère club which was much more inspired than its Grenoble neighbor. For the FCM, we will have to ask ourselves the right questions in the coming weeks, between a team which is drifting sportingly and a financial situation which is deteriorating and which could, whatever happens, result in relegation in the summer 2025…
