An explosion of joy that makes the Delaune stadium in Bobigny shake. As we head into a penalty shootout, Anthony Adel, trained at Olympique Lyonnais, delivers FC Montreuil (R1) by scoring the winning goal with a superb strike into the top corner (2-1, 81st).
Pushed by 1,500 people including a mini-kop of around a hundred people, the Seine-Saint-Denis club validates its qualification for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France this Sunday at the expense of Chauvigny (N3) after long minutes of added time. The great adventure, which began last June, will therefore continue in 2026 with an opponent who will be known in the evening after the draw.
When the final whistle blows, the happiness is total. The players commune with their supporters to celebrate their achievement. However, everything has not been simple for the 6th division club. Faced with a hierarchically superior opponent (from a division), FC Montreuil took time to take advantage of its numerical superiority after the early expulsion of Chauvigny’s right side Logan Assignon after… 13 seconds! Not discouraged, the Vienne team opened the scoring with a 20m free kick from Ayadi (0-1, 18th). Against the flow of play, FC Montreuil took advantage of a penalty for a goalkeeper foul on Dos Santos to equalize through Kadded (1-1, 38th).
Returning from the locker room, both teams struggled to find scoring opportunities before Anthony Adel’s stroke of genius at the end of the match. The end of year celebrations will therefore have a great flavor for the last Ile-de-France representative in the Coupe de France with PSG and Paris FC.
