TOPS
Bouanga, mister Coupe de France
Fifth game and fifth goal for the Gabonese in this competition. Thursday evening, he registered a real jewel, a marvel of coiled typing (37th). This put the Greens on the right track while they were suffering until then. Active, he often allowed his team to come out on the opposing side. One of the best on the lawn Thursday.
Valorous Spinalians
For a National 2 team, Épinal made a good impression on Thursday night against the Greens. Sometimes at the limit in duels, they never let go, as evidenced by the reaction after the second goal of ASSE and the penalty obtained. In the last half hour, they gave everything to pull out the overtime but that was just missed in the last thirty meters. The Vosges come out with their heads held high.
Camara, a great activity
He is the other Stéphanois who does not have to be ashamed of his performance. Very available in the middle and not hesitating to project himself, he scratched some precious balloons in the midfield. He also scored the goal of the break after a control and a nice pivot hit (58th). An extremely important achievement. It even passes very close to the station wagon in the wake (65th). Seriously, he was forced to leave his partners in overtime due to cramps.
FLOPS
Sangaré, a prejudicial error
Following a touch in his camp, the defender of Épinal, surely too relaxed, missed his pass. This caused the interception of Honorat and the magnificent goal of Bouanga (37th). An opening of the score which hurt the Spinaliens who until then made foil the men of Claude Puel. Probably the turning point of the meeting. Not lucky, he also slightly deflects Camara's strike on ASSE's second goal (58th).
The excitement of the Greens
ASSE is in a bad period and it shows on the ground. In difficulty in the impact in particular and especially technically, the Greens suffered against Épinal by a lack of control in all the compartments of the game. Claude Puel has a lot of work ahead of him and must hope that this victory will put his men back on the right path.
