The first semi-final of the Cher Cup led to a heated game on Saturday 29 April. The second, on Monday, was more so between Bourg-Molon and Saint-Dolchard.

Without outrageous dominance, the R1 residents created the best chances and opened the scoring midway through the first half. Thus, Valentin Monard won a long pass from the left, despite the brilliance of Florian Androni (1-0, 26th place).
Great equalizer from Boar
On his return from the locker room, Saint-Doulchard belted out some good sequences, with the wind at his back. Molon scored a first booking, this time free, with a goal from Guillaume Sanglier which was ruled out for offside (63rd).
Romain Dupuy and his partners withstood Molon’s attack well.
The second, on the other hand, was very expensive. Having a goalkeeper in the libero position has its advantages in energizing play or intercepting passes, but it also comes with some risks. “I knew him a little bit and I knew he was playing well, and the player stepped back – coach Romain Dupuy. The wind didn’t let us do it in the first half, but I asked the midfielders to pass the ball as soon as we got past it. We get the ball back. There, Guillaume is the one who puts it “.
In fact, after Xavier Renard’s exit from outside his area, Guillaume Sanglier, although eccentric, sent the ball into Molon’s top corner (1-1, 77). The score did not move and it was necessary to resort to shots on goal to determine the winner.
Then, Alban Gigot fired shots from Younes Sabouh and Rick Daniel Thesylanda Muamba, as St. Dolchard qualified for the final. This match will take place on June 10th at André-Poitrenaux Stadium in Mehun-sur-Yèvre.

“We should have been more realistic in the first half, unfortunately Youssef Ben Gharib, Moloune coach. We are sad for our fans, because we wanted to go to the final. We will focus on finishing well in the last three games.”
Romain Dupuy, of Dulchardien’s side, commented: “We knew that with the wind, it would turn in our favor in the second half. We had the desire and respected the game plan. After that, it was up to heads or tail, but we had players who drank the pressure and did what it took to win the penalty shootout. We now have four finals left: one in the Cher Cup and three for promotion to the League. We need four wins and nothing else.”
