Argenton-Le Pêchereau (R3): 0
US Orléans (N) : 4
He had probably dreamed of being the hero of the match. He will ultimately only be a major player. Clément Ravaud, who multiplied the parades and exits of all kinds, still conceded four goals, a consequence of the very serious match played by the Orléanais. “I had a terrible time and so did my teammates, explained the Usap goalkeeper after the final whistle. We knew we were going to suffer throughout the match, but frankly, we can be proud of what we did. There were five divisions between them and us. It showed, but I think that at times we played very well. »
Nine high-level saves throughout the match
On the hunt for this 23-year-old baker, at the club since he was 7, will remain this penalty which he had caused by hooking Kylian Sila, but which he repelled by diverting the shot of the National’s top scorer in 2021 – 2022, Fahd El Khoumisti (37e), as well as three point-blank strikes from Sila (13e84e) and d’El Khoumisti (32e) pushed back with the foot, two cross-shots from Mohamed Ghorzi (36e) and Alexis Martial (59e) returned with both fists and parries on a head (45e), an attempt by El Khoumisti (66e) and an attempt from Do Marcolino (55e). Nine saves against a National team, it’s a performance he won’t soon forget.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. And after having had a little success by being replaced on his line by his right side Stephen Merlin (22e) and saved by his bar on two strikes from the same player Walid Benbella (35e62e), the Reds goalkeeper ended up losing in the first period on two crosses converted by Ghorzi (0-1, 9e ; then 0-2, 42e) then, after the break, with two productions from the one he had long disgusted, El Khoumisti (71e90e).
US Orléans has reserved a guard of honor for Usap
“Frankly, it would have been nothing but joy to play a match like this, he added. Usap is my family. I would never leave it, even if I was offered to play at a higher level,” assured the one who finished the match limping (adductors), but who arrived in time to be escorted to the locker room by the guard of honor reserved by the Loiret players. The Argenton-Le Pêchereau club, which filled the Georges-Marandon stadium (755 paying spectators), was able to exit the Coupe de France through the front door.
