Clermont Foot's reserve team, favorites to win the Coupe LAuRAFoot final on Sunday at Bourgoin, lost after extra time (0-1) to Craponne (Régional 2), a team that was hierarchically inferior but full of confidence. Craponne, champions of their group in Régional 2, deprived Clermont Foot (B), 3rd in R1, of the trophy on Sunday in the final. On a pitch at Bourgoin-Jallieu that is familiar to the red and blue attacker, Jean-William Nyindong and his teammates had a difficult afternoon, shaken and trapped by the men of Nicolas Rioux, who were remarkably organized. It should be noted that the Clermont team presented eight U19 on a 14-player match sheet, and that these last had undoubtedly had their heads on the final of the French championship that they will play next Saturday against Paris SG. A favor that will ultimately go to the entrant Vincent Di Lorenzo, from the start of the extra time, served at the second post by Mancien (0-1, 92e). Kévin Brault, butting on Gabin Delassus (101e) or on the bar (102e), left the Clermontois in the game. But their late and sterile rebellion remained vain. A frustrating outcome, considering the promises made by this team.
