A week after losing at Bouscat against Stade Bordelais in the championship (1-2), the Aviron Bayonnais players took a stunning revenge in the Coupe de France, this Saturday evening (5-0). It’s a big setback for Antoine Verges’ gang, never in the game on Didier Deschamps’ field even if the score at the break (1-0) did not suggest such an avalanche in the second half.
If Rowing is the first to take action with a strike from Chergui just wide (10th), the Bordelais react immediately with a crushed strike from Tariqi (11th). But the Bayonnais have a weapon of the highest quality in Chergui. On a corner, the Rowing attacking midfielder places the leather on the head of Cissé at the forefront. A real blackboard (18th, 1-0). The opening score, so essential in this type of confrontation between teams of the same level, fell on the Basque side. The match is almost over even if we don’t know it yet.
Chergui treats
Until the break, the match fell into a false rhythm without the visitors being able to react. Rowing almost manages to scare itself with unnecessary defensive risks. And when they start playing again in the right rhythm, Landry Bordagaray’s players immediately come back to tickle Danze’s gloves. It was first Lucbert who found Chergui in the Bordeaux area, but on his wrong foot, the Bayonne midfielder stumbled upon Danze’s save (38th), before having one last opportunity before returning to the locker room. His forcefully taken free kick crashed into Danze’s crossbar, badly beaten (45th).
The former Besançon player will not dwell on this failure and as soon as he returns from the locker room, he will move up a gear. He will first benefit from superb collective action from his partners, punctuated by a foul from Nabab on Dellas in the Bordeaux area. The penalty is transformed by Chergui (51st, 2-0). Six minutes later, the same Dellas-Chergui duo found themselves near the “Lions” surface, and Chergui, who was thought to be a bit too eccentric on the left side, still found the target of a superb cross strike which leaves Danze no chance (57th, 3-0).
Doubled by Manga Tabi
Antoine Verges and his men, very quickly without a solution, then also gave up in the minds. Fari misses an offering from Chergui (63rd) but the double Aviron scorer, after carrying the ball twenty meters, once again pierces the Bordeaux rearguard with a luminous pass and Manga Tabi, barely entered the game , crucifies Danze (68th, 4-0). The Bayonne striker also goes for his little double after having caught Laurent and Rios with a cold (77th, 5-0). He misses the perfect hat-trick in the process by stumbling on Danze (79th).
So there was no photo this Saturday evening. Rowing heads smoothly towards the 6th round, the draw for which will take place this Thursday. The Bayonnais can now concentrate on receiving Colomiers in N3 while Stade Bordelais will have to turn their heads over to Onet, tied on points in the standings.
