“We're going to play a final before time”: AS Béziers breaks the Vauréen lock and hopes to qualify for the first federal round of the Coupe de France

Les Biterrois ont réalisé une grosse prestation contre Lavaur.

Grâce à leur victoire 5-1 contre Lavaur ce samedi 12 octobre à la Présidente, les Biterrois ont acquis leur qualification pour le sixième tour de la coupe de France.

"Cela n’a pas été évident", underlines Hugo Muñoz, the ASB coach. However, this is not what the score of 5-1 in favor of the Béziers team suggests. Facing a solid Lavaur team (R2), unbeaten until then, the Héraultais largely won.

“We did not start the match properly, indicates the Béziers coach. My goalkeeper made the necessary save and then, on two high recoveries, we scored two goals in quick succession." Despite the reduction in the Tarnais gap, the contribution of the bench allowed the locals to score three additional goals and validate the good performance.

"There was enthusiasm"

The Biterrois were able to count on the support of their public. “The supporters present congratulated us on the commitment and the state of mind during the match, rejoices Hugo Muñoz. The stand set up by the town hall was full, there was enthusiasm."

Now, the objective is the seventh round for the Béziers coach: "We have to qualify for this federal round but, before that, there is a final before time to play. Whatever the draw, there are only big teams left."

This Saturday, at 6pm, at the Présidente, his protégés will play an electric derby, against La Clermontaise for the fourth day of the championship.
