Lambians té biyn gayar su térin! At the end of the matches in the 6th round of the French Football Cup, great victories for the Saint-Pauloise and especially the astonishing Dominican team. They will play the 7th round of the Coupe de France on November 16 at the Est Jean Ivoula stadium in the capital.
The adventure ends there for FC Bagatelle, the team believed in a new feat, but does not deserve it. Saint-Pauloise could also have been surprised at the Stade de l’Est since FC Bagatelle, a Regional 2 club, opened the scoring in the 55th minute of play, with a goal from Théo Rivière. The final score is one goal everywhere.
“It didn’t go far, the football gods wanted Saint-Pauloise to pass and go to the final. It was a good match, we are proud of what we did, the boys applied well what we had worked on”, explains Cédric Charles, the coach of FC Bagatelle.
The adventure ends but it will serve as training for the players for next season, for their career. This goal that we conceded a few minutes from the end hurts a little but that’s how it is.

Saint-Pauloise equalized 8 minutes from the end of the game and finally won on penalties. The coach obviously leaves satisfied despite the difficulty. “I would like to pay tribute to this FC Bagatelle team, they would have deserved as much as us to go to the final, assures Christian Daffreville. At home, we had some pressure too, but we were a little better at the end. After the penalty, it was haphazard luck and we were able to win.”adds Christian Daffreville.
The players put their hearts into the work, their hearts on the pitch, to play at such a level! I tip my hat. This afternoon we did not see an R2 team but a very good R1 team! I hope she goes up.

In Saint-Paul, the Dominican caused a sensation and created a feat by beating Saint-Pierroise! The players from Etang-Salé surprised the Storks after a penalty shootout, 4 goals to 2. However, it was the South team who opened the scoring in the 52nd minute of play. After around ten minutes, the men from Etang-Salé equalized.
“Look how happy our supporters are! The goal was to qualify, it’s exceptional!, rejoices Adrien Lecomte, Dominican player. Today the maintenance is acquired, we will prepare this final with the staff”he adds euphorically.
We worked hard, it’s mental. Ti ash i koup gro bwa! It’s going to be a great final at the Est stadium, Saint-Paul deserves it too!
