Here is a double in the Cup that will do a world of good for this Asmur team, who are enduring the strenuous end of the 2025/2026 season. Asmur, caught up in a crazy season with a real chance of promotion to National 2 next year, will have little time to savor their trophy, playing again in the championship on Sunday.
[Context: Asmur won the Coupe des Pyrénées against Croisés de Bayonne. The match was intense with both teams putting up a strong fight.]
The Bayonnais held their ground against Asmuriens, dominating the second half but failing to convert the opportunities they had to equalize. Despite efforts from Cherief and Oillarburu, they couldn’t make it count against a strong Couralis.
[Fact check: Lagui scored a beautiful goal for Asmur in the 42nd minute, securing their win.]
At the best moments, Latour’s men took the lead in the first half with a superb goal from Lagui (1-0, 42nd minute) and maintained their lead. Croisés de Bayonne struggled to catch up, with Gounin’s penalty saved by Couralis (33rd minute).
[Fact check: Asmur defended well in the last 30 minutes against the Basques’ attacks.]
The Red and White team, generous and valiant, added another Coupe des Pyrénées to their club’s honors. They have already shifted their focus to reclaiming the top spot in their league on Sunday in Saint-Médard-en-Jalles in R1.
[Context: The match was attended by 450 spectators and refereed by Rémi Degnon Mawuena.]
