No feat for Les Vertes in the Coupe de France

The Greens had a tough draw for their French Cup debut. Despite a strong second half, they suffered a heavy defeat.

Context

Les Vertes are entering the Coupe de France against one of the league's big teams, Olympique Lyonnais, with the ambition of qualifying for the round of 16.


Starting XI

For this first match of 2026, Sébastien Joseph starts Emma Templier and opts for a five-man defense. The midfield consists of Faustine Bataillard, Welma Fon, Laura Hermann, and Rachel Corboz. Nadjma Ali Nadjim is lined up at the front, in the number 9 position.


Game scenario 

Dominated in the game, Les Vertes quickly fell behind (0-1, 11'). A few minutes later, Lyon doubled their lead (0-2, 19'). The game then became more balanced and Saint-Étienne gradually regained their energy. Despite this, neither team managed to change the score before the break.

After returning from the locker room, Les Vertes regained possession of the ball and created a few opportunities on the counterattack. Unfortunately, too few shots really threatened the opposing goalkeeper. In their attempt to reduce the deficit, Saint-Étienne left themselves exposed defensively, and Lyon, playing with great efficiency, crucified Les Vertes four times in the second half. (Final score: 0-6).


Coming next

The schedule looks busy for Les Vertes, who will travel to Marseille on Wednesday before hosting Nantes on Saturday, January 17, at 3 p.m. at the Salif’.
