Zapping Foot National Laure Boulleau: “I imagine a sequence where Mbappé talks about a Les Bleues match…”
A crazy encounter. This Wednesday evening, FC Espaly (N3) hosted Paris-Saint-Germain (L1) in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. A meeting which saw the two teams keep each other in respect… for more than 85 minutes. The leader of the Ligue 1 championship, undefeated in France, won with a score of… four goals to two on the wire. The twelfth in Group I of National 3 came very close to achieving the feat but failed in the final moments of the game.
The FCE, winner of the hearts of the French
A crazy start to the match. From the third minute of play, Espaly opened the scoring. Fournel goes deep on the edge of offside, overflows and crosses for Gjeci, who takes advantage of Tenas’ poor exit to finish with a header. Paris-Saint-Germain will get their foot on the ball, but will struggle against a very good opposing defense. In the 17th minute of play, Zaire-Emery will serve Doué, who will try his luck but stumble on Étienne. The National 3 resident bravely tries his luck, with “But where are the Parisians” coming down from the stands of the Marcel-Michelin stadium in Clermont. Luis Enrique’s men will still step on the accelerator. After coming close to conceding the break, the undefeated leader of the French championship will come back to level thanks to a beautiful strike from Zaire-Emery from the edge of the area.
-The capital club will change several things at the break, returning to the pitch with much better intentions. PSG continues to storm the Espaviote cages and will reverse the score in the 67th minute of play. Barcola finds the far post with a tight cross. Doué throws himself and finds the net by tackling. Huge blow for the current twelfth in its group within the fifth French division. But impossible is not Red and Black. The “locals” will equalize at 2-2 thanks to Fournel, who has to do it twice in order to overcome Tenas. The FCE will then put the bus in order to prevent PSG from taking the lead again. Espaly therefore tries to go to penalties, in order to try to achieve the same feat as FC Bourgoin-Jallieu (N3) a few minutes earlier against OL (L1). We had to wait until the 88th minute to see Barcola score the third Parisian goal, a few seconds after seeing FCE come very close to regaining the lead. In added time, Ramos will convert a penalty after a handball.
To summarize
