Late on Saturday evening, the final matches of the Coupe de France tournament were played. The trophy was won by the footballers of "Auxerre", who after a tough battle with a one-goal advantage defeated "Sedan" with a score of 2-1.
37' [1 - 0] Benjani Mwaruwari
64' [1 - 1] Stephane Noro
90' [2 - 1] Bonaventure Kalou
Before the match, the "Auxerre" team was considered the favorite, but the first half of the game was evenly matched. The first goal of the match came in the 37th minute, when "Auxerre" player Benjani put his team ahead.
However, conceding a goal did not break "Sedan", and halfway through the second half, they managed to equalize the score - in the 64th minute, Stephane Noro scored a fantastic goal from 30 meters into the top corner, beating the opponent's goalkeeper.
The score remained 1-1 until the final minute of the match. However, just when it seemed that the winner of the trophy would be determined only after extra time and perhaps a penalty shootout, Bonaventure Kalou, as the referee was counting down the last minutes of the match, managed to send the ball into the "Sedan" goal and snatch victory for his team.
