Pushed by a generous Bergerac team, Olympique Lyonnais bounced back and validated their ticket to the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.
Olympique Lyonnais is still on the scene! Travelling to Bergerac for their 16th Coupe de France final, the Gones were understandably favourites for this evening line-up. But to validate their ticket for the rest of the competition, they had to force their talent. And yet, all was well with a quick opening goal from rookie Malick Fofana (37′, 1-0).
And although it was the toughest part, Nacional 2 equalised just before the break thanks to Escarpit (45′, 1-1). After the break, Bergerac saw the task become more confusing as he was reduced to ten men after the dispatch. against Gyeboaho (65′). And after multiplying the opportunities, Caqueret still found the goal with a good half-volley (78′, 2-1). OL proved their qualification with a 2-1 win, without necessarily gaining confidence.
