Whoever loses wins!
It is the strange experience lived by the amateurs of CA Vitry who evolve in Regional 1, the 6th national level.
Eliminated on Sunday in the 6th round of the Coupe de France after a setback (2-0) in Conflans (R1), the Val-de-Marne formation was declared the winner on the green carpet, this Tuesday, by the commission of statutes and regulations of the League of Paris-Ile-France.
Sunday, she will receive Saint-Brice (R1) in the 7th round.
The Yvelines team was sanctioned for bringing in a suspended player at the end of the game.
The latter had received his third warning since the start of the season (synonymous with a suspension match) during the last championship meeting on October 25, before the end of amateur competitions due to the health crisis.
