In view of the hazards suffered by AS Saint-Priest at the end of July, with these cases of covid putting Lionel Bah’s group on hold for more than a week and testing certain organizations, it is a real performance. Especially under this scorching sun forcing the referee to multiply the freshness breaks. For its first of the season at home, deprived of Herbin, Mahdar, Djoumoi, Pageaut, Oualembo or Gueye, the ASSP was advancing on eggshells against the young reserve of OM, but was able to force the decision for a first success . A victory marked by the performance of winger Jacques Coffi, author of a precious hat-trick.
Lionel Bah has aligned a competitive eleven, with the armband given to Dhib, and an experimental attack line Fawzi – Koné – Coffi. And the Bloods and Golds took the game for themselves during the first act. With its technical quality and a playful environment, the ASSP cornered the Marseillais of Maxence Flachez in their camp in the first period. But Marseille’s defensive animation was clean and conceded little.
A second lively period and a festival of skylights
Apart from this dive just next to Koné (33rd), launched ideally by Martelat, and this header from Charveys on a corner (42nd), pushed back by Nazaretian at the foot of his post, Saint-Priest did not approach the opposing surface. But it took less than ten minutes to resume to see the club of President Patrick Gonzalez pass in front by Coffi, with the tip of his foot on a bad dismissal of the defense to lob the Marseille goalkeeper (1-0, 52nd), and launch a 2nd act very lively.
Because OM immediately glued on a marvelous free kick 20 m from Ben Seghir, who cleaned the skylight with the help of the post (1-1, 60th). Dull physically and on a bad slope, the partners of Over Mandanda, author of several decisive interventions against the club of his big brother Steve around the hour of play, took advantage of the coaching and a regain of form to return to the front .
It was first the young entrant Traoré who threw perfectly at goal Koné, in reserve last season, to score with a nicely adjusted ball. Before Coffi signed a sumptuous double: shifted to the right, the winger struck and armed a perfect brushed shot at 20 m still finishing in a skylight (3-1, 75 ‘).
The former Colomiers completed the success of a third goal in the final, taking in the empty goal a cross from Traoré passing in front of everyone. The covid is behind for the San-Priots, who have shown great maturity and have mastered the debates. They will go to Marignagne-Gignac next Saturday before returning to Jacques-Joly, for whom it was the first with a public in competition, for the derby against OL at the end of August.
