no exploit for Sedan, Cholet and Niort extend the adventure

Mixed fortunes for the wealthy! This Saturday, October 12, Sedan, Niort and Cholet, all demoted from the National championship to the regional level in recent months, were actually on track for the fifth round of the Coupe de France.

Coupe de France: the results of the 5th round this Saturday

Sedan dismissed, Cholet and Niort continue

A year after being sent to Regional 3 by the authorities, and several weeks after their rise to Regional 2, the Sangliers de Sedan had an appointment with ES Thaon at the Louis-Dugauguez stadium this Saturday. Facing a regular with the Old Lady, the Ardennes club tried to ignite the game, even opening the score quickly thanks to an own goal from an opponent (10th). From experience, EST, resident of National 3, did not panic and returned before the half hour mark on a goal from Villa (28th). We then had to wait until the last twenty minutes for the debates to settle and for the Vosges to take off on the scoreboard. Crouzier (70th), Villa again (76th) and Oumeddour (84th, 1-4) put an end to the Sedan course.

For Cholet and Niort, on the other hand, the adventure continues. For the SOC, demoted to Regional 3 just this summer, it was necessary to get rid of the Sarthois de La Flèche, who play a division above. Nenad Zekovic’s players did not hesitate to achieve their goals. Thanks to a goal scored before the half-hour mark (28th) then a second after returning from the locker room (48th), the efficient Choletais won (2-0) to offer themselves a small performance of choice. For their part, the Chamois, who experienced the same fate as Cholet this summer despite their third place in the N1 ranking last season, were opposed to a team of the same level from Regional 3, Verneuil-sur-Vienne. At the René-Gaillard stadium, the young Niort guard, who started her season later than the others, took her time to overcome her opponent (3-1) and qualify for the sixth round.
