Football: in the Coupe d’Occitanie, Frontignan gets a ticket for the roller coaster

The joy of the qualifiers at the other end of the region. The Muscatiers remain in the race in both Cups.

Asfac won 1-2, this Saturday January 27 on the field of AF Biars-Bretenoux, in the round of 32.

Move on, that was the coach's message before tackling this Cup match at the other end of the region.

This long journey had something touristy and adventurous despite everything. The risks of dams linked to the agricultural crisis having dropped a notch on Saturday, the passages through Larzac, Onet-le-Château, Decazeville and Figeac allowed Muscatiers to both appreciate the landscape but also, to arrive on time within a short distance of Corrèze (New Aquitaine).

Dual lens

On a purely sporting level, the objective is doubly achieved. The team was able to get back on track after last week's failure and will be well present for the round of 16. It must be said that it has been a habit since its origins. Last season, she failed in the quarterfinals, on penalties, in Figeac.

It passes in both Cups for the Asfac

For Greg Tanagro, the qualification couldn't be more logical: "We couldn't wait to start this match after a very long trip. Things didn't drag on. "Flo" Moureaux opened the scoring on our first foray and they reacted immediately. We have to lead into the break, as too often we waste… It's Victor Bouzou who puts us back in front twenty minutes from the end, it's only fair in the face of a solid and valiant formation pushed by a large audience. I am satisfied because we reacted after the disappointment in the championship, we progressed to the two Cups in four days. Saturday, it will be Balma, I hope we confirm in the championship, it's still more important".

It was only in the early morning, this Sunday, that the Muscatiers returned to their homes, with the feeling of duty accomplished.

The draw for the round of 16 will take place this Tuesday, January 30 at 12:30 p.m. I subscribe to read more
