At the Stade Charléty, where the day before PSG beat the PFC (2-0), the PUC has fallen sharply against FC Metz (1-8), current leader of group A of D2. The Paris club of Regionale 1, who lived the first 1 / 16th of the final of its history, did not hold the shock but was able to save the honor at the first occasion came. FC Metz continue in the competition.


FC Metz kicks off, and the tempo at the same time. At the entrance, Messines get a corner hit by Meryll Wenger right side. This corner reenter is rejected by the keeper of the PUC and returns to Selen Altunkulak whose flickering flees the frame.


A first danger repulsed. Under pressure, the Parisian defense keeps its cool and tries as best as possible to come out cleanly. Unfortunately it never goes very far, the middle of Metz is present to recover the ball. And even when the middle line Messin is broken, the attacker of the PUC Emy Losio is very quickly lonely.


After a few attempts rejected by the Parisian door, or not framed, it is Justine Rougemont who will be the first to find the way to the goal. His teammate Adeline Janela overflowed right and center back to Rougemont which triggers a strike right first intention (16th).


Metz takes cover before half-time


The East club is in front of the scoreboard and will begin to unfold. The PUC however lacks a great opportunity to equalize and why not doubt his opponent of the day. On a defensive error by Mathilde Dijon, Gaëlle Bourgeois recovers and stands alone against the goalkeeper, although she is a little off-center on the right, the player from the Paris region does not manage to properly arm his shot, which Getter Laar captures without problem (23e).


This is the only real opportunity of the first period for the local club that was able to count on this match on a superb performance of its goalkeeper. Before conceding the second goal, on a nice collective action - between Rougemont and Wenger and concluded by Valerie Sanderson (38th) - the door of Cameroonian origin stopped in two stages a free kick well hit by the captain Simone Gomes Jatoba ( 36th).


The former Montpellier Meryll Wenger, very precise in his passes, will offer an offering to Christy Gavory just before the break. From a magnificent deep pass to the ground, Wenger finds his teammate who escapes into the back of the defense, and is alone against Drusille Ngako Tchimi, before going around and score (41).


The quadrupled for Sanderson

Metz finishes the first period on the run, and starts the second with just as much intensity. Like the beginning of the meeting, Meryll Wenger will show dangerous entrance. Her shot is blocked by a Parisian defender, but Valérie Sanderson has followed well and can conclude for an empty goal, after the exit too fair the goalkeeper (47th).


Above technically, then physically, FC Metz will ensure his dominance and score three new goals before the hour of play. One by Selen Altunkulak on an action where we still find at the start of the action, side right, Wenger and Rougemont (55th). Then, in the space of a minute, two more goals from Canadian forward Valerie Sanderson who has a quadrupled, including a header on a corner Wenger (59th and 60th).

The PUC saves the honor


Carried 7-0 at thirty minutes from the end, the Ile-de-France players will free themselves from all pressure and try harder to go ahead and not be confined to defending themselves. A paid tactic for the PUC, since on their first occasion of the second half, they will open the scoring. At the start of the action, a bad defensive clearance that allows Emy Losio to recover the ball in the axis and hit. Getter Laar rejects the attempt, but the ball returns to Melanie Scholz who can conclude (68th). Entering the game ten minutes ago, the Parisienne is offered the meager record of being the first player of the PUC to score in a 1 / 16th of the Coupe de France.


The score will not stop there. Triple decisive passer, Meryll Wenger will go from his goal also, the eighth for the Messines and last of the game. A powerful shot of the Lorraine player on a Sanderson handing over. Wenger will one last time on the opponent's door, despite his eight goals conceded a good match.

David Fanzel (FC Metz): "We had a tendency to fall into the ease"
Abu Karamoko (PUC): "We tried to stay disciplined"
Valérie Sanderson (FC Metz): "No matter which team we play, we come out with the same attitude"
