Summary of the match between Bergerac and ASSE
Bergerac Périgord FC was in its seventh Coupe de France match. No goals taken. We therefore expected to have a very compact defensive unit. And there were no surprises. The Bergeracois were very well in place defensively. And the Stéphanois had a lot of trouble moving the Périgourdins.
In the first period, there were very few chances, on both sides. We can note a big opportunity for Aouchiche well served by Bouanga who had fixed the defense well. However, well alone, he does not even manage to frame his shot, too crushed.
In this first act, the young player will be illustrated by many errors and loss of balls. This is not the only one. The Saint-Etienne collective made too many mistakes. Fortunately, the BPFC is not very dangerous offensively. The score remains tied at the break.
Pascal Dupraz started his match with three central defenders then, during the first period, he returned to a system with four defenders. We will see this system again in the second act with the entry of Nordin (in place of Youssouf). This more offensive reshuffle allows the Stéphanois to show better intentions on recovery. However, despite the intentions, it does not work better. And when there are good opportunities, the goalkeeper Pierre Laborde intervenes.
Still as solid, the Bergeracois will open the scoring in the last quarter of an hour : in question, a wait-and-see defense, a bad recovery from Camara (yet one of the best Saint-Etienne this Sunday evening). Shortly after, the Greens should have been awarded a penalty following a tackle from behind in the area on Nordin without the ball being touched. But Mr. Batta decided otherwise.
The Greens are eliminated from the Coupe de France in the 8th final. They do not chain a second victory to prepare Montpellier well, next match in Ligue 1.
