The history in the Coupe de France ends in the 32nd final for the Stade Poitevin. One by a small goal (1-0), this Sunday, December 19. The men of Xavier Duduit, resident of Nationale 3, stood up to Racing Club de Lens, sixth in Ligue 1, but finally gave in less than 10 minutes from halftime. First on the opening score of Ignatius Ganago after a scramble in the penalty area (37 ‘). Then the mission became even more delicate after the exclusion of César Neto, following a big fault on Corentin Jean.
In the second half, the Lensois were content to manage their advantage, without being really dangerous. Not much to eat for the 5,000 spectators at the Stade Michel Amand until the last ten minutes of play. The Stade Poitevin woke up after a big opportunity, a shot on target perfectly released by the northern goalkeeper after a counter poitevin. A standstill of no consequence for Franck Haise’s players.
No exploit for Poitiers therefore, after having taken out Orleans in the previous round on penalties.
