Sochaux is there for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. The Yellow and Blue fulfilled their contract after their victory, this Saturday evening, among the amateurs of Mâcon 2 to 0 thanks to goals from Issouf Macalou and Armand Gnanduillet in the second half of this 8th round. A qualification more complicated than it seems as the Yellow and Blue were mishandled, and above all had a lot of success and a goalkeeper, Mathieu Patouillet, author of exceptional saves, also saved twice by his bar. The FCSM is doing very well but it passes, and in the cup, that’s all that counts.
Reaction from Karim Mokeddem, FCSM coach: “We go through a mouse hole, with success and a great goalkeeper, a wall even! Afterwards I moved the players a little at half-time, and we took the upper hand, before, falteringly, falling relax and leave big chances to the opponent at the end But hey, we are qualified, that’s all that matters. In 32nd, I want the biggest draw, a Ligue 1 in Bonal for a party with ours. supporters. It’s the championship.”

Reaction from Mathieu Peybernes, FCSM defender: “We didn’t have a good match, we weren’t as serene at the back as usual, maybe a little complacent, but we knew how to be effective. In the 32nd, we received at Bonal, then we stayed focused on the championship and over the last two games of the year, that’s our priority.”

Fdaouch very close to the FCSM
While waiting to be decided on its fate after the draw this Monday, and to play its 32nd final on December 21 just before the Christmas break, Sochaux will host Châteauroux and travel to Dijon in the championship. To finish the first part of the season as best as possible, and to be well placed to play the climb in 2025. With this in mind, the leaders are active and are on the verge of enlisting their first recruit of the winter transfer window in the person of Zakari Fdaouch. The 27-year-old attacking midfielder is very close to signing up for the Yellow and Blue “negotiations are very advanced, an agreement is very close” confides Clément Calvez, the president of the FCSM, confirming information from our colleagues at Footmercato. The ex-Dijonnais (10 goals and 8 assists with DFCO) should leave his Belgian 2nd division club, Deinze, close to filing for bankruptcy. If the transfer goes through, the arrival of Fdaouch would be proof that Sochaux want “give yourself every chance” to rise, and that there will be no departure of Noah Fatar this winter “we want to strengthen ourselves, and not the other way around” concludes the Sochaux president.
