It’s over at René-Gaillard. Valorous, the Chamois logically fell against Orléans, after holding out for one half.
86′: Pivoting in the area, Sila sends her shot close to the bar. The Orléans striker will have wasted a lot this evening…
79′: Third goal for Orléans. Cartillier tries his luck from afar and surprises Mayoulika, who is a little lost in the action.
76′: Mayoulika consolidates his man of the match title, repelling a powerful shot on target from Goujon.
62′: Sila converts his penalty, Orléans leads 2-0.
59′: Big highlight for the Orléanais, with Bretelle losing another head-to-head against Mayoulika. In the continuity of the action, the Niort goalkeeper concedes a penalty, mowing down Goujon.
57′: Orléans (logically) opens the scoring. On a good cross, Lallias uncrosses his head perfectly. 1-0 for the visitors.
50′: Mayoulika is on FIRE! On an Orléans free kick, Benbella is found behind. His first intention attempt is masterfully slammed by Mayoulika, impassable.
46′: Mayoulika decisive again! Once again opposed to Sila, who had inherited the ball in an ideal position, the Niort goalkeeper was uncompromising in pushing away with his foot.
It’s back to René-Gaillard. Lallilas replaced the injured Iva at the break.
First period
It’s the break. Courageous, the Chamois are holding their own for the moment against Orléans, who wasted several ammunition to open the scoring.
44′: Another huge opportunity for Orléans. After an outburst from Iva, the latter serves Sila perfectly, who just has to push her to the bottom. But he finds a Niort defender on the line who saves at the last moment!
29′: Niort is holding on for the moment, like Mayoulika’s save in front of Sila. But Damien Charron’s men suffer (logically) in the duels.
15′: Orléans very close to opening the score. On a cross from Goujon, Iva takes one touch and her shot hits the post.
7′: On a sort of cross-shot, Iva, Orléans striker, signs the first attempt on target of the match.
In the ranks of Orléans, Jimmy Giraudon, trained at Chamois, starts in defense.
It’s off to René-Gaillard!
Pre-match
Florimond Labulle, leader of a project to take over the club, is present this evening at René-Gaillard, alongside Joël Coué in particular.
In terms of composition, Damien Charron decided to use his usual starters. Slightly injured recently, Bosc took his place on the bench and was replaced by Adramann in the starting lineup.
> NIORT : Mayoulika (cap.) – Hérode, Lim, Chasseport – Adramann, Traoré, Camara, Royer, Audo – Tamou, Gomis.
> ORLÉANS : Matimbou – Thérésin, Giraudon, Baudry – Halby Touré, Benbella, Bretelle, Goujon (cap.), Cartillier – Sylla, Iva.
For this Coupe de France poster, Damien Charron selected a group of 16 elements. Present in training recently, Godwin Bentil is not present, just like Junior Abdourahamani, now gone to Chauray after his double against Ozon.
On the Orléans side, Hervé Della Maggiore had to integrate a few young people due to several injuries. Thus, El Khoumisti, Berthier, D’Arpino and Ghorzi are absent, as are Testud and Khous, suspended, but also Ponti, Jean-Pierre and Do Marcolino, selected for selection.
