actu.fr readers, hello and welcome to our live stream. You are following the match between Saint-Brieuc (N2) and Le Havre AC (L1).
The meeting counts for the 32^e final of the Coupe de France, this Saturday, December 21, at the Fred-Aubert stadium (Côtes-d’Armor).

End of the first act (45′)

Saint-Brieuc does better than standing up to 17^e of Ligue 1. He created the best chances and would not have liked to be in front at the break. Karim Achahbar hit the post and Christian Konan saw his shot fly away after a good serve from the Moroccan, a few seconds before returning to the locker room.

We are approaching half-time (40′)

Karim Acahbar still sends shivers through the stadium. He makes a good depth call but Gorgelin, the former OL player, is the quickest to intervene.

Le Havre is (a little) sticking its head out of the water (30′)

Hindered by a conquering Stade and an imperial Christophe Kerbrat, Le Havre got their foot on the ball. But still no opportunity for the Normans. Well, until this corner hit from the left corner. Operi places his head pushed back on the line, followed by a slight confusion which ends with a Le Havre foul. Franck L'Hostis wasn't there on that one.

The post for Saint-Brieuc! (23′)

The Stadium again and always! Situations and scoring opportunities are local. Just now, it’s Karim Achahbar who hits the post! Mathieu Gorgelin was beaten.

A lively first quarter of an hour (15′)

Still no goal but a pleasant first quarter of an hour to follow. Saint-Brieuc bravely tried his luck against an opponent who had not yet fully entered his match. A little earlier, Benjamin Angoua was very close to scoring with a header on a free kick from the right by Beghin.

The danger comes from the left (11′)

The Stadium continues to grow. The game leans to the left with a very restless Diakité. Arthur Zakharyan calls for a one-two and rolls in a shot, unfortunately for him, not powerful enough. Gorgelin grabs it.

The incisive stage (4′)

High briochine recovery. Karim Acahbar sinks and enters the surface. We need the saving return of Mathéo Bodmer to counter the Moroccan attacker. The corner does nothing. Then, it was Léo Yobé's turn to have an opportunity but his shot was stopped by the goalkeeper. Saint-Brieuc dares at the start of the match!

Here we go!

In windy weather and on a lush lawn, Guillaume Paradis, the referee of the match, whistles the match to kick off. Stade Briochin plays in a 3-4-3 formation. Le Havre opts for a 5-3-2.

Pre-match

Three divisions separate the two teams. This is the first confrontation in history between them.

Since their victory against Saint-Malo in the previous round, the Briochins have drawn two matches in Bordeaux (0-0) and against Saumur (2-2).

For its part, the oldest club is experiencing a complicated first part of the season with only four small victories on the clock. He has lost 11 times and has yet to share points in the league.

The poster promises to be beautiful, 30 years after the last match played against an elite team. It was against Stade Malherbe in Caen, another Normandy team. The Griffons won with a score of 3 goals to 1. A good omen? Kick-off at 3:30 p.m.
