C'Chartres Football scuttled itself at the start of the match. He conceded the first goal in the 3rde minute after a big restart error from Bouhadiche. Unfortunately for them, the Caen professionals quickly worsened the score with a superb goal from Mickael Le Bihan in the 8the minute (0-2). A feared scenario that coach Laurent Fournier absolutely did not want to see before the match. Then, despite some interesting situations, Chartres remained completely passive on set pieces, allowing Alexandre Mendy to add a third goal (0-3 23e). Before half-time, Brahimi, very prominent, even scored his double (0-4 39e).
The second half was a matter of management for Stade Malherbe in Caen. Nicolas Seube launched young players professionally and rested certain executives in view of the upcoming deadlines in Ligue 2. Despite an aggressiveness stepped up a notch in the second half, Chartres was unable to create the feat against a very solid and realistic Caen team.
“The atmosphere is different because it’s been a long time since Chartres went far in the Coupe de France.” The Chartres coach, Laurent Fournier, senses a certain expectation surrounding this meeting. Coach or player, the coach knows these special atmospheres and hopes to achieve an exploit against Stade Malherbe in Caen.
The Caennais enter the fray in this 7th round, after a good series in Ligue 2 with two victories in the last three matches. They will be able to count on their top scorer Alexandre Mendy, three goals over the same period. Unless Nicolas Seube rotates his squad.
Chartres is leader of its National 3 group, with five wins, one draw and one defeat in seven matches. The 6th round was very close where the Chartrains won on penalties against Bourges, resident of N3. Despite the three divisions difference, Chartres will be able to count on around 1,500 spectators to try to achieve the feat at the Jacques Couvret stadium.
