Because its stadium is not approved to host such a poster, FC Foron has relocated 20 km from La Roche, where it usually plays in R2. This Haute-Savoie club, which has climbed the steps four by four since its creation, with a very invested president, would have liked to play on its lawn. But had to rent the Cluses facilities. To face this valiant formation, Stéphane Dumont established the best possible eleven… But had to do without Ripart, injured in the adductor during the warm-up. “A real blow”indicated the coach.
Deprived of several elements (Boura, Saïd, M'Changama and Ba in selections, Chavalerin, Diop, Hamdi, Monfray and Tahrat injured, Nonge suspended), Dumont fielded the best possible team. The young Diawara, launched for the first time as a professional, occupied the left flank of the defense. Otherwise, it was the expected team (Lemaitre in goal, Diaz-Gozzi hinge, Mendes on the right, Kante as sentinel, Fage and Adeline in the middle, supporting Assoumou at the forefront, with Dong and Irié on the wings) . With this very professional eleven, Estac, which remained in four matches without defeat… and without conceding a single goal (three successes and a draw), wanted to continue the dynamic. She did it well, even if she “scared herself a little in the second half,” admits Stéphane Dumont. “We’re happy to have gotten out of it”he admits.
