The first Ligue 1 leader to enter the fray, Losc did the job. Just like Bastia, Troyes, Laval and Annecy, residents of Ligue 2.
First evening of the Coupe de France and first surprise. At the opening of the 32nd finals this Friday – synonymous with the entry into the running of Ligue 1 clubs – Haguenau, a Bas-Rhin club in National 2, humiliated Boulogne-sur-Mer (4-1), quickly reduced to ten . Another card, Bastia (Ligue 2) left no chance to fans of RC Saint-Joseph (5-0), who came from Martinique. Also resident in L2, Annecy suffered but won 1-2 on the pitch of GOAL FC (National 2) while the “shock” of the evening between Troyes and Metz largely turned in favor of Estac, winner 3-0 at home.
Dijon on the carpet, Losc on the job
For its part, Laval was very hot in qualifying after the penalty shootout against the modest Regional 1 club of Mérignac (0-0, 3-4). A fateful session which did not smile on Dijon (National), eliminated at the end of the suspense (1-1, 4-3 tab) by the Espaly club, playing in National 3 in the Haute-Loire department.
Finally, the most anticipated favorite this Friday evening, Lille did not fall into the trap of Rouen (National), winning 1-0 on a goal from Ismaily (22nd), perfectly served by its captain Jonathan David. In management during the second period, the Mastiffs and their reshuffled team (Zhegrova and André absent, Chevalier on the bench) did the job to reach the round of 16.
