Eliminated from the oldest football competition by a National 3 team over the last three seasons, the Causenards managed to overcome the obstacle on Saturday October 12.
In the fireworks that lit up the sky over Sébazac on Saturday October 12, after Comtal’s 2-1 victory in the 5th round of the Coupe de France, there was, in addition to the celebration, a touch of revenge. Residents of R2 since 2022, the Causenards managed to triumph over an N3 team after being eliminated three times in a row by a team from this fifth national level. Guillaume Laneau’s protégés will also see the 6th round of the cup for the first time thanks to their success, started by a goal from Théo Bastide and not Théo Rigal as we wrote on Sunday, against Albères-Argelès. We rewind.

2021: Muret made his superiority speak for himself
On October 2, 2021, the Muretains extinguished Comtal’s hopes in the 4th round of the cup. The black and white, then in R3, had a good first period before giving in physically to the Haut-Garonnais. They conceded a first goal just before half-time, and without having managed to find a second wind after returning from the locker room, the Causenards took a second in the 80th minute. End of the adventure facing superior training of three levels.
2022: Balma strikes from the start
On September 24, 2022, Comtal, just promoted to R2, also stopped in the 4th round against an N3 team. The Sébazac-Lioujas team hosted Haut-Garonnais from Balma, who did not wait long to take the lead: they scored the one and only goal of the game in the 18th minute.
2023: the boost for Albères-Argelès
On October 14, 2023, like against Muret, Laneau’s men had a good first period and they even almost opened the score twice. But just before the break, the Albères-Argelès team stepped up the pace, monopolized the ball, before finding the back of the net three times. And the black and white stopped on the 5th round.
A year later, Comtal brought down Albères-Argelès, defying the predictions, while securing a place in the 6th round. Phenocomtal.
6th round draw, Wednesday October 16
Place in the last regional round of the Coupe de France. Wednesday October 16, at 6 p.m., the Ligue Occitanie will orchestrate the draw for the 6th stage of the competition. It will be broadcast live from the Montpellier headquarters on the body’s Facebook page.
With the elimination of Bassin à Pibrac, Comtal is the last Aveyron player still in the running while awaiting the entry of Raf and the other Ligue 2 teams, during the 7th round.
