Football: in the Coupe de France, Asfac will be in the next round, SC Sète could have been there

En Coupe de France, Narbonne est passé à l’orange face à un SC Sète qui a manqué de rigueur. MIDI LIBRE – E.R.

This Saturday, September 14, the "Green and White" bowed to the oranges, before receiving red…

Saturday evening, the cold wind that we call the Cers in "Narbonnais" swept a Lido stadium without parking.

Some will say, to explain the elimination, that the wind support rather favored the Audois than the Sète. This is somewhat true if it is a question of habit. The singular island is less exposed to the wind than the banks of the Robine canal. Despite this, there were many supporters of both camps who wanted to attend a Coupe de France match… and to have had the possibility of parking. They were not mistaken, the desire, the commitment and the suspense were there despite a visible technical difference between the two teams and a numerical difference at the end of the match.

The scorer Thomas Pron very quickly launched the hostilities, in the final twice, he had the opportunity to offer his team the test of penalty shootouts. In the meantime, the Tangos audois had taken back the score on absences in marking. The only downside is that the red cards waved in front of Thomas Lévèque and Robin Depeaux are likely to weaken the defensive sector during the next few days of the championship.

Asfac did not tremble

For their part, a stone's throw from Millau, the Muscatiers did not let their chance to get a ticket for the next round pass. Greg Tanagro's men, warned of the characteristics of their opponent, were determined to do the job. Two posts and a crossbar did not prevent the opening score by the essential Florian Moureaux, the “veteran” Jonathan Herry finishing the job at the end of the match.

For the coach, this is the outcome he was looking for: « With people resting, a few injured, we presented a “widely cast” squad. It achieved what we expected”.

The draw, still at the League level, will take place this Tuesday evening, the Muscatiers will know their future opponents for the fourth round scheduled for the weekend of September 28 and 29.
