And face an opponent evolving a lower division, in Regional 1 where he is however undefeated since the start of the season …
In the end, superb victory (4-0) and qualification : thanks to the goals signed Rachid Benchagra (doubled), Tim Journot and Lucas Gaume which thus allow the Franche-Comté club to pass the 7th lap for the second time in its history only after 2017 (eliminated by Pontarlier at the time)!
