Valenciennes Football Club failed to create the feat against Olympique Lyonnais, in the first semi-final of the 2023-2024 French Cup. Facing Alexandre Lacazette, author of a double, and the Lyon armada, Ahmed Kantari’s men lost 3-0 and left the competition one step from the final.
However, the Northerners thought the feat was possible when Siriné Doucouré propelled the ball into the lines of Lucas Perri at the end of the first period (38th). The central referee of this match, Stéphanie Frappart, had to review the VAR images to report a foul by Anthony Knockaert when recovering the ball.
After this short-lived joy, the VAFC was unable to create such a clear opportunity and must refocus on the Ligue 2 championship of which it is the current red lantern with 18 points behind the first non-relegation place. .
