The Coupe de France stops there for the Manchois. They hoped to pass this 7th round and come up against a Ligue 2 team. It will be for the Briochins who have to face En Avant Guingamp in the next round.
The Saint-Lois have not been unworthy. The first half was slightly dominated by the serenity of the Briochins but the Manchos also had chances. Halftime result: 0 – 0. It was at the end of the locker room that the Bretons’ experience made the difference: two goals in the 53rd and 57th minutes. A ball that bounced off a Saint-Lois who scored against his camp in a briochin corner and Julien benhaim, the Breton who puts the ball at the back of the net a few minutes later. The Manchovies have a start thanks to Florian Bresteau who scores in the 80th minute. The supporters of the Stade Villemer get carried away and hope for the last-minute equalizer to go to penalties, without success. FC Saint-Lô will not go to the next round of the Coupe de France despite its efforts.
“We tried everything, we dared” for the Saint-Lois coach, Matthieu Chevreau
Faced with this elimination, it is of course the disappointment that dominates among the Saint-Lois but they gave everything in the battle analyzes Matthieu Chevreau, the coach of the Manchester players:
