No miracle in the Coupe de France for the Entente Nord Lozère (R2). The step was far too high for the Enelistes who lost 8 to 0 against Puy Foot 43 (N2) for the fourth round of the French Cup, Saturday September 28, 2024. The Lozère supporters could have hoped for better from their team given the from the start of the match for Lilian Condon’s men. Indeed, the first twenty minutes of play were quite balanced. There was a lot of intensity on both sides and the Enelists were not impressed. They were even the ones who had the first opportunities.
On two occasions, the Lozère attackers could have opened the scoring, but they were unable to find the fault. Suddenly, at the 21e minute, the game turned to the advantage of Puy who opened the scoring from a corner (1-0). This goal stopped the Saint-Albanians in their momentum and the Ponots made the break (2-0). After this second goal, Le Puy rolled. The visitors were more technically correct and the
Lozère defense was overwhelmed. The attackers were surgically precise in front of the goals and gave the Enelist goalkeeper no chance. Half-time score: 5 to 0.
A second half still complicated for the ENL
As soon as they returned from the locker room, the Ponots increased the score (6-0). But the Lozériens, despite the difficulty, continued to play and managed to create a few chances. The match seemed to be running out of steam, neither team could find the net. But 10 minutes from the end of the match, the ENL defense collapsed again. After contact in the penalty area, the referee designated the penalty point, a decision that went down badly with Aurélien Malatre, the Enelist captain, who received a second card for protest, synonymous with expulsion.
The Altiligère shooter did not tremble and pushed the ENL a little further (7-0). Le Puy finished off the premises 5 minutes later (8-0). “We had a good start to the match, but I have a lot of frustration with the goals from set pieces,” said Lilian Condon, “the gap was visible and the margin was too big.”
