The verdict is in. The day after their qualification for the 16es of the Coupe de France final, the Jurasudistes were impatiently waiting to know which ball would come out of the bowl. The Marines pulled heavy and will face Ligue 1 club AS Saint-Étienne on January 2-3.
A few years after their elimination against Auxerre (0-1), on January 20, 2015, the Marines will once again taste the 16es of the Coupe de France, after their victory on Saturday against Saint-Denis FC (5-2). As soon as the New Year is celebrated, they will put on their crampons to try and win a historic qualification on January 2 or 3. The club has never climbed to 8e of the prestigious competition. Valentin Guichard’s men will try to make history against Ligue 1 side AS Saint-Étienne, who qualified this Sunday against Lyon-la-Duchère.
