It was the 7th round of the French Football Cup that Aurélien Deniel took part in this Sunday on the pitch of AS Vitré (Ille-et-Vilaine). The thing that budding footballers, and of course older ones, dream about in their rooms at night before going to bed, without any certainty that one day will be one of the lucky ones.
We replay the scene for you: light fall, final action (90 + 6), Plouvorn who was chasing the score from the 45th minute had the last chance to equalize and extend his dream. A free kick that almost reaches the full axis more than 40 m from the goal is considered in his favor. Clearly visible in his royal blue jersey, the Regional 1 team goalkeeper is at the forefront.
First defeat of the season for Vitré
The ball is sent back to the right for the first time by a defender, one of his teammates scrambles to snatch it, shifting another player back for the final cross towards the penalty spot. Where is it located. Deniel then turned into a striker and made a very precise acrobatic pass which ended up in the goalkeeper’s right goal. Explosion of joy. The Finisterians will play their ticket to the next round on penalties.

The goalkeeper could have stopped their incredible performance there, trembling in the face of the National 3’s attack. No, he remained on cloud nine, taking advantage of an opponent who was certainly still a little stunned. He took two shots and allowed his team to secure qualification with a win (1-1, tab 4-3). AS Vitré are yet to lose this season, in all competitions.
On the way to what could turn out to be a sweet epic that only the Coupe de France can make possible, the Finistériens will discover another National 3 club, Les Sables. The latter has been warned: there is a joker hiding in the Plouvernean enclosure.
