We can speak of an almost miraculous victory of the FCSM this Friday evening in the cold of the Bonal stadium. The goal scored by Joseph Lopy in the 93rd minute, in stoppage time, on almost the last action of the match, literally delivered the 7,000 or so supporters who had braved the rain and low temperatures. Sochaux pushed the suspense at the end of the end to beat a team from Pau who had yet managed to equalize 10 against 11 (after the expulsion of his defender Xavier Kouassi). In absolute terms, the Yellow and Blue were not convincing in the game, still clumsy in attack, but for once, only the result counts and allows the men of Omar Daf to temporarily return to the podium.
Thanks Lopy!
Sochaux really has a knack for complicating his life. “We still harvested too many scoring chances in the 1st period in particular” Omar Daf admitted after the meeting, necessarily thinking to Do Couto’s too removed strike yet at the conclusion of a very beautiful collective movement. Held in check at the break, the FCSM is finally happy to open the scoring with a deflected strike by Abdallah Ndour just after the locker room (47th). The hardest part is done, especially as Pau finds himself at 10 after the expulsion of his defender Kouassi. Well no ! Gaëtan Weissbeck’s teammates find a way to let the Béarnais equalize 20 minutes from the end “We stopped playing” regretted the Sochaux coach “Fortunately, the guys had the merit of not giving up, we found our values and our victory, even if it is hard for the heart, but it is deserved” conceded the coach of the Yellow and Blue.
Sochaux back on the podium
Without playing well, Sochaux will, in fact, achieve his ends with the goal of Joseph lopy in stoppage time. Almost unexpected, miraculous even “I went up to put my head, the ball does not reach me from the right side but it goes to the bottom, that’s the main thing. We were a little scared, but we take the three points, that’s the main thing “ humbly sums up the Sochaux midfielder. Joined by his coach “I remember the result. To play well for me is to win, we always try to put on a show, but we must not obscure the efficiency. To play well, I repeat, is to win! “. On this point, Omar Daf and his team fulfilled their contract. In pain, without putting in the manner, but by winning with forceps, Sochaux did himself good. Already in the standings, temporarily climbing the podium. But above all morally, by sharing this moment of happiness with his supporters.
