Beaumont Saint-Cyr (R2) : 1

Penalties

4-2. Bingol sends the SA Mérignacais in 32^e of the Coupe de France final. It's hard for the ESBC with its magnificent run in this Coupe de France

3-2. Fleurant takes the Mérignac doorman on the wrong foot. It's up to Mas to play.

3-1. Dubois scores the third Mérignac goal. Fleurant will have no room for error.

2-1. Vergerolle keeps Beaumont alive.

2-0. Tazouti-Ghellam does not tremble and drives the point home.

1-0. Melin's shot goes over the crossbar. It’s off to a very bad start for the ESBC.

1-0. Diaz gives the Mérignacais the advantage.

0-0. Victor Pintault is the first to set off and his attempt is stopped.

2^e half time

90^e+5. End of regulation time. Everything will be decided on penalties between SA Mérignacais and Beaumont Saint-Cyr, who were able to equalize thanks to Victor Pintault from the penalty spot.

90^e+ 4. Huge saves from Mas!!! First by diverting a big shot from Dia then by being vigilant on an incoming corner.

90^e+ 2. Vincent Fleurant receives a yellow card.

90^e. Four minutes of additional time are announced.

85^e. The Beaumontois suffer but hang on and fight. They are five minutes away from pushing the Mérignacais to penalties.

83^e. Change to SA Mérignacais. Exit from Clément and entry from Fellat.

80^e. Latest change to ESBC. Chassin leaves and Melin enters.

77^e. First yellow card of the match. And it is for Victor Pintault.

75^e. New coaching on both benches. On the Beaumont side, Gervais and Billerot replace Lavergne and Minguenaud. For SAM, Akono and Dia enter in place of Claudant and Bingol.

70^e. Big Mas parade! On a distant attempt from Kouhous, the Beaumont goalkeeper relaxes well to divert the ball for a corner.

68^e. New fear in the Beaumont area. On a set piece, Claudant is very close to pushing the ball into the back of the net at the far post but it goes just wide.

64^e. Double change on the Mérignac side. Charieras replaces Roumegoux and Pourtuguez gives way to Tazouti-Ghellam.

62^e. Equalization for Beaumont!!!! On his first ball, Vergerolle made the difference and was hit by a Mérignac defender in the Gironde area. Mr. Visbecq points to the penalty spot and Victor Pintault wrong-foots Essomba (1-1).

59^e. Small weak time for the ESBC. Kouhous has a great opportunity but lacks precision and his shot passes a few centimeters from Mas's goal. Teddy Delineau makes his first changes. Vergerolle replaces Brault and Fleurant Etouaria.

53^e. Opening of the Mérignac score!!! On a cross from Marius Feuillet at ground level, the ball jumps just in front of Alexis Mas who had gone to bed. Alone at the far post, Issam Kouhous just has to take the opportunity to push it into the back of the net (1-0). Terrible.

50^e. First strike on target for the ESBC. It is the work of Johan Chassin but Amine Essomba captured it quietly.

46^e. It's back to the Robert-Brettes stadium, where the fog has lifted a little. No change at the break.

1^re half time

45^e + 1. Both teams return to the locker room with a score of 0-0. Despite a division gap, the Beaumontois, pushed by their supporters, are on par with the Mérignacais, who still created a few chances.

34^e. It's coming to life on the lawn! While Mérignacais François Roumegoux had completely missed a face-to-face against Mas, Jonathan Brault fell, in the process, after contact with a defender in the Gironde penalty area. But Mr. Visbecq only pointed to the corner post.

29^e. The two teams neutralize each other for the moment in this 8^e round of the Coupe de France, played under thick fog.

19^e. Even if they have not yet obtained real situations, the Beaumontois, tactically well in place, are on an equal footing with the resident of Regional 1.

11^e. Second dangerous situation for the Girondins. Following a corner for the visitors, Lhona Claudant escaped into the Beaumont defense but her shot, too soft, missed Mas's goal.

3^e. First big opportunity for Mérignac following a corner. Fortunately, Théo Minguenaud is there to deflect the ball on his line! It was hot.

1^re. The kick-off has just been given by the Beaumontois. The fog is still so thick, one wonders if the match will come to an end…
