A qualification, goals scored, Samir Belloumou and his partners fulfilled their part of the contract by qualifying for the 8th round of the French Cup, this Sunday, in Grenoble (0-5). In line of sight, point of derby of the pond therefore for the FCM with the disappointment, Saturday, of the Marignane-Gignac CB beaten by an R3 team (1-0). It will therefore be the Martégaux who will challenge FC Valence, on November 30, for a place in the 32nd final.
The club's financial turmoil has in any case had no consequences on the field for Thierry Laurey's men who were inevitably expected to turn the corner after the sanctions pronounced by the DNCG this Friday.
Three goals in four minutes
If they were “shaken” in the first period, they still managed to reach the locker room at the break with a goal in advance thanks to Oucasse Mendy, alone at the far post after a blunder by the Grenoble defense (30th) . If the FC2A went all out in the second half, it was the Martégaux who were more clinical with three goals in four minutes: Ouotro (52), Gautier (54) and Zouaoui (56) thus allowed the Provençaux to take the lead. wide.
A scenario always welcome when we travel to the field of an amateur team which once again had a great opportunity to save the honor in front of a large audience who came to support them. It was also a perfect opportunity to allow a large turnover also in the Martega ranks.
Seriously, the Martégaux would add a 5th goal in added time on a penalty converted by Karim Tlili (90+3). A common point for the last four scorers, they all scored their first goal of the season. Martigues could savor and make a guard of honor for the vanquished. There is not necessarily a lot of good news this season.
The Provençaux matches in the 8th round:
Meetings Saturday November 30 or Sunday December 1
Istres (N2) – Grenoble (L2)
FC Valence (R3) – Martigues (L2)
Carnoux (R1) – Hauts Lyonnais (N3)
