In Coupe de la Ligue, the Chamois have qualified in the quarterfinals!
In the qualification process, the Chamois thrashed France U20 in both home (3-1) and away (1-6) matches, won on aggregate against Morzine-Avoriaz-Les Gets with a 7-2 victory in the home game and a 5-3 loss in the away game and scored a victory in the home match against Dijon. Therefore, Chamonix and Dijon, which will meet again on 14 Oct 2014 for the away leg, will compete for the first place of the Pool C and for the chance to play against the second team in the Pool, position currently held by the Chamois.
Even in the worst possible scenario in which the Chamois lose the away match with a difference of 2 points, Stephane Gros' men will remain in second place, just before Morzine and will be qualified in the quarterfinals.
