Coupe de France, 8th round: attractive, the Entente Sannois-Saint-Gratien eliminates Furiani (1-0)

The Entente Sannois-Saint-Gratien finds the light again. After having played a 32nd final in 2018 and a 16th final in 2019, the Val-d’Oisienne team achieves a new epic in the Coupe de France and will be invited Monday evening to the draw for the 32nd finals, synonymous with entry into the running of L1 clubs.

However, the Val-d’Oisiens were far from being the favorites on Sunday in this 8th round. They occupy last place in their Nationale 3 group while their opponent of the day, the Corsican club of Furiani, is on the podium in Group C of Nationale 2. But we only saw one team on the field during 90 minutes and she logically won her participation for the next round.

The excited Val-d’Oisiens

Determined and willing in the pressing, the Val-d’Oisiens dominated and created the best opportunities during a one-sided first act. After attempts by Baradji (15th) then Kissy (23rd), the Entente logically found the fault following an opportunistic goal from Jean-Yves Koue Niate (1-0, 23rd).

Excited, Jimmy Modeste’s men pass very close to the break on a ride from Kissy who dribbles past the Corsican goalkeeper but misses his shot in front of the empty goal (32nd). Returning from the locker room, the Corsicans became emboldened but the Entente proved more impactful. A strike from Kissy shaves Vanni’s post (60th) then Keita, ideally placed, lacks success (65th and 86th).

At the end of the match, veteran goalkeeper Raphose was impeccable on Furiani’s last crosses. The Agreement is qualified. A real moment of happiness after 4 difficult seasons punctuated by 2 relegations (from National to N3).
