A double from Boutrah qualifies Sporting… in pain

It was the Nancéens who kicked off, attacking facing the West stand. And the match got underway straight away with Lorraine's first chance well stopped by Corsican goalkeeper Fabri who threw himself at Diaby's feet (4^e). The Blues' response was immediate with a vicious shot from Cisse from 25m which Nancy goalkeeper Kouini deflected with both fists.
At 7^e on a free kick from the left, 25 m away, well worked by Boutrah, the Lorraine goalkeeper was still playing with his fists. On recovery Guidi lobbed him but his hand was replaced by his defender Bokangu. The referee gave him a red card and logically pointed to the penalty spot. Boutrah did not tremble and opened the scoring for Sporting by placing the ball to the left of Kouini. 1-0 (8^e)
Tavenot's players remained in the dynamic. Tomi with an uncrossed header then with an attempted lob had the opportunity to make the break at 22 and 24^e. The Lorraines, however, had the equalizing goal at the end of Dabasse who alone against the Bastia goalkeeper lost his duel (26^e).
The Bastiais largely dominated their opponents but even with numerical superiority could not achieve a conclusion.
Half-time was whistled on this small advantage for Sporting.
The recovery was difficult for the Bastiais who suffered from the Lorraine game. Goalkeeper Fabri had to work on a header from Camara to avoid the equalizer (52^e).
Despite the change of 3 players, Sporting continued to stall. Fabri even came close to disaster by releasing a ball from a corner (64^e).
This inability to see the players raise their game was becoming boring!
We had to wait for 67^e to finally see a Corsican opportunity: A head of wheat above the crossbar.
If the embrace of the visitors was less strong, the locals did not take advantage of it, accumulating bad choices, bad passes.
A powerful shot from Ducrocq from 25m in the 82nd^e still forced Kouini to relax.
Then it was Boutah who triggered a missile at the entrance to the surface. The ball went well past the left post of Kouini's goal. (84^e)
Boutrah who delivered his teammates 1 minute later on a cross from Meynadier from the right (85^e). 2-0.
The essential was done. Sporting will know its opponent for the 32^e (entrance of L1 clubs) on December 2.
