There are only three clubs left, three brave clubs that have passed four rounds of the most famous French Cups. Among them is Longo. Johan Moreira’s men escaped the trap in their opponents’ derby Pont de Metz (D5) With a score of 5-0 in the second round. Then the Longacoissiens imposed reason with a great victory against them Crevecoeur (D2) Then the face Albert (R3), with a little more difficulty. For the first time in the competition, ESC Longueau will face a higher level team: Femi (N3). It was against this same team that the residents of Stade Emile Noël finished their season in Nationale 3 last year. The opportunity to recover from the two defeats suffered by the Femenua last year, as well as to overcome the hierarchy in order to reach the next round.
Another R1/N3 duel on the Portuguese side. Unlike Luongo, FC Porto will host the fifth round of the cup. To arrive there,Amiens Portuguese Club Won 6-0 Bethencourt United States (D2)then Liancourt Clermont (R2) With a score of 4-3 and finally Rozier (D1)3-0. Up against Pays de Valois, resident of National 3 and currently in second place in Group G after four matches, the visitors appear to be favorites on paper. But the magic of the Coupe de France has already proven that surprises can happen, especially since only one section separates the two teams.
A difference in division is not the same on the one hand United States Camon. For their part, the residents of District 2 were able to rise to this level of competition by defeating them Roy/Noyon (R2), Saint-Germer (D3) And finally Grandvilliers (D1). The challenge promises to be tougher for Lucien Jovelin as he takes on Frédéric Bourneuville’s men San Quentin. The Axon Formation develops into Nationale 2, four divisions higher. So far without a win in the tournament, Kamon will try to create an upset.
