There will be a Poitou club in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. US Chauvigny (N3) qualified this Sunday by overcoming Chartres, club trained by Jean-Pierre Papin. A 2-1 win at the Montée Rouge stadium in Châtellerault, in front of around 3,000 spectators. The Chauvinois opened the scoring just before the break with a superb strike from Nessim Ayadi entering the penalty area. As soon as they returned from the locker room, Stéphane Malloyer’s players doubled the bet thanks to Arsène Nsiete taking advantage of an error by the defense in Chartres. Despite the reduction in the Chartres score, USC resisted and again erased a team playing in a higher division.
