The amateur players of FCSR Obernai stuck to their game plan perfectly. Well grouped in defense, rigorous, they conceded few chances to Messins in the first period. The Guardian Johann Karchtrained in Racing, kept his clean sheet for more than an hour.
But the physical power of the Lorraines, 4th in Ligue 2, allowed them to make the difference at wear and tear. The Garnets scored two headed goals, the second being almost a carbon copy of the first.
It is first Ibou Sané who won with a header at the far post from a free kick hit on the left by Gautier Hein (63rd). Then it was Jessy Deminguet who served Simon Elisor, he also scored with a cross header (72nd).
SR Obernai only have one interesting situation, shortly after the opening of the Metz score. Lucas Sala only touches the ball with his head at the far post on a cross from Lucas Koehl.
At the very end of the match, Sadibou Sané worsened the score, this time from a corner (90th).
In the eighth round of this Coupe de France, FC Metz could face another Alsatian team Biesheim (N2), if the Haut-Rhinois manage to eliminate the Vosges of Raon-l'Étape (N3).
