The step will have been too high for Aviron Bayonnais. The Ciel et Blanc were beaten by professionals Pau FC this Saturday, November 16 (1-3) and went out in the 7th round of the Coupe de France. Hope was short-lived on the pitch of the Didier Deschamps stadium, copiously packed for the occasion, with 1,500 supporters in the stands, and in a big-day atmosphere. From the third minute, Boutaïb headed into the area from a cross within 5.50m (0-1). Picked cold, the Bayonnais will react. A few opportunities on each side, enough to fuel the frustration. But, at the highest level, realism makes the difference and the Palois will drive home the point eight minutes from the end of the first act with a cross strike from Mboup (0-2).
A short break since in the process, the Ciel et Blanc move forward again and practically in the action that follows, Dellas launched in depth misses his face-to-face with the Pau goalkeeper but the ball is sent to the bottom nets by Giocomini who arrived launched at the entrance to the penalty area (1-2, 41st). Returning from the locker room, Rowing has the opportunity to get back on track but with a quick projection and a fight in the air, Mboup will go for his double by winning his duel against Portets (1-3, 53rd). Mass was said. There were opportunities. The regrets are there after the meeting.
It remains for the Bayonnais to get back into the championship, they who are in 4th place in the National 3 championship (4W/2D/1D) with one game in hand. What better way to get going than the reception of a direct competitor, Colomiers, the following week at Didier Deschamps. There are no more Basque clubs in the French Cup in the 8th round.
