It is untapped, capital letter, and almost unique in the history of the Coupe de France. This Saturday, in an Emile-Stahl stadium full of an egg and in fusion, FC Olympique Strasbourg Koenigshoffen 06, resident of Regional 1, managed the performance of eliminating Clermont, 9e of Ligue 1, after the penalty shootout (0-0, 4-3 on pens).
For 90 minutes, Amar Ferdjani’s men did more than resist against the Clermont professionals, who evolve five levels above them in the hierarchy. The Bas-Rhinois also obtained some good situations at the start of the meeting.
In the second half, they were able to unite and preserve their clean sheet, thanks in particular to their goalkeeper Schmittheissler.
The Strasbourg players, the last Alsatian survivors in the running in this competition, will know their next opponent in 16e of tomorrow night’s final. In the meantime, the dream has come true.
