We weren’t bored for a single second between Saturday and Sunday. Historic joys, infuriating defeats… This football weekend in the Coupe de France was extremely lively. We take stock of the 7th round but also of the other men’s and women’s championship matches.
The two great feats
Ile-de-France lost four representatives this weekend (Poissy, Les Ulis, Fleury, Paris 15) in the Coupe de France. She still managed to keep two residents that we did not expect at the meeting of the 64th finals. And who qualify for the first time for this stage of the competition.
Let’s start with Tom Thumb. FC Marcoussis-Nozay-Ville du Bois, a Division 1 club (9th level), once again dazzled its audience by dominating the R1 of Pays du Valois (Oise). They won three goals to two against a team that plays three levels above. “In truth, it is deserved. We need a little more to score, but we didn’t let go, ”savors captain Naim Kodad, author of a double, including a breathtaking goal under the bar after feigning the defender with a murderous rake.
He and his teammates will receive FC Vierzon (N2) in the next round (November 19-20). It will not be at the Moulin stadium. We will have to relocate to Montlhéry, Les Ulis or why not to the Marcoussis National Rugby Center, and its stadium with a capacity of 2000 people.
The guys from Auber’ have also checked the date. And even the week before. Because yes, the N2 players will go to Reunion in the next round. A superb adventure made possible by a great performance on Saturday afternoon at home against the professionals of Quevilly-Rouen-Métropole (1-1, 4-1).
“I did not think I would be so moved,” said Mayor Karine Franclet this Sunday to Parisian. If the FCMA wins in three weeks against La Tamponnaise, it can dream of a confrontation against an L1 team in early January in 32nd. To be followed very closely.
The big regrets of Habib Beye
This victory would have looked great. The Audonians of Red Star (National) missed the qualification for the next round after the penalty shootout on the lawn of Valenciennes.
“My team has rarely been as unbalanced as in the first period. It proves that the level is higher (in L2). Afterwards, as soon as we regulated, we didn’t see any differences for me in the second half. I even tend to think that we were above. At the moment, we are the second best defense in National. We proved again tonight that we were solid. You have to maintain that and this desire to play because when you get so many chances, at some point, with success it will change. It will take a little more confidence and determination in front of goal but when you analyze the match, you can find satisfaction in it. I do not consider this match as a defeat. My players have the feeling of having stood up to a Ligue 2 team which is having a very good championship.
The Red Star is 8th in National after 10 days, four points from 2nd (two climbs in L2 this season).
head of the weekend
Wendie Renard ended up disgusting Fabrice Abriel’s players. This Sunday noon, Fleury 91 came close to capital performance. Until the 93rd minute, the club held a very nice 0-0 against Lyon, giant of the championship and of European football. But the captain of the Blues reversed the match by being on the receiving end of a final kick. Fleury 91 is 9th out of 12.
The goal of the weekend
Mathilde Bourdieu continues to shine at the start of the season. The 23-year-old forward Paris FC is at 4 goals in 3 games. On Friday, she performed a superb solo number in the Montpellier area to conclude with the outside of the right foot. The Parisiennes are going strong right now. Thanks to this success in Hérault (1-3), they occupy third place (14 pts, 4 wins, 2 draws), behind OL and PSG.
