Until the end, the Red Star supporters sang.
After the sad incidents of Paris FC - Lyon, it was a beautiful afternoon of football in this Bauer stadium, in full renovation, for the 2nd visit of a Ligue 1 team in ĂŽle-de-France this week. end of 32nd finals of the Coupe de France.
As Habib Beye had announced, the Red Star, 12th in the National, played and tried things.
But Monaco made the difference thanks to its French international Wissam Ben Yedder.

What you must remember
Organized in a 4-4-2 where there were some surprises (Avognan in goals, starts from Tré and Dieng in defense), the Red Star had a very good first period. Playing high, Habib Beye's players often hampered Monaco, which relied on a quasi-typical team with all its offensive assets. Michaël Nilor forces the Polish goalkeeper of ASM Majecki to a beautiful parade (24th). The former mechanic William Avognan is also decisive on a recovery of Kevin Volland (25th). But he can do nothing against Wissam Ben Yedder, who had started his rise in eleven-a-side football after Futsal, a few kilometers from the Bauer stadium, in Saint-Denis in 2009 before leaving for the UJA. Monaco was effective (0-1, 32nd).
In the second period, the Red Star leaves with the same intentions of play. On a cross from Nilor, the head of Pape Meissa Ba, author of a hat-trick on Monday in Sedan, finds the bar of Majecki (60th).
The turning point of the match.
Well launched by Matazo, Wissam Ben Yedder offers himself a double (0-2, 64th).
But the Red Star is not abdicating.
Damien Durand, barely entering the game - the best Audonian player at the start of the season (6 goals, 8 assists) who had been ill this week - sends his volley on the bar (71st).
The Red Star played to the end and did not deserve it.
He will have to keep this same level of play to continue the operation back in the league from January, and probably with some new recruits (Ernest Seka ex-Strasbourg and Nancy is present in training).
The player: William Avognan
As in previous Coupe de France matches, William Avognan (26) had started in the goals of the Red Star.
Third goalkeeper in the squad at the start of the season behind Ludovic Butelle (who was not selected once again in the group) and Paul Charruau, he had a great time facing the stars of Monaco.
There are still two and a half years, he was an amateur in Bobigny (N2) and worked as a mechanic in a garage in the 13th arrondissement.
Avognan had a good match, showing himself particularly decisive against Volland (25th), Boadu (55th), Gelson Martins (80th), Ben Yedder (84th), and rather reassuring in his interventions.
But he could not do anything on the two paws of Wissam Ben Yedder.
⏱ 25 'Yes William!
Huge Avognan save on a Volland strike 💪 0-0 #REDASM ⤵️ https://t.co/dG5ECXAt7F
