Jurassians hanging on for a while
However, the Franc-Montagnard success took time to take shape. The Valais opened the scoring in the 8th minute but the Jurassiens responded after a quarter of an hour of play through Tom Nappiot, well served at the far post by Loris Masini. The latter even gave his team the advantage in the 47th minute, after a scoreless second half. Vincent Léchenne’s protégés made the break in the 55th minute thanks to the success of Pierric Pouilly. Arnaud Schnegg folded the matter 4” from the final siren. The striker scored in the empty cage while Sion tried everything by taking out his goalkeeper to play 6 against 4 after a Taignonne penalty. /nmy
