The magic of the Coupe de France, before that of Christmas. The rest of the round of 32 this Saturday afternoon led to some magnificent surprises. The best feat of the afternoon came from Stade Briochin (N 2), who defeated Le Havre (1-0). The penultimate in Ligue 1 was surprised on a corner ten minutes from the end of the match on a header from Janno (80th).
But the Saint-Brieuc club will not benefit from the status of little thumb for the round of 16. After the feat of Espaly (N 3) this Friday, two other fifth division clubs qualified for the rest of the competition.
Bourgoin-Jallieu and Cannes eliminate Ligue 2 clubs
Bourgoin-Jallieu managed to bring down Ligue 2 resident Martigues thanks to a completely crazy start to the match. After only 26 minutes of play, Bourgoin-Jallieu was already leading 3-1 against the bottom of L 2, before scoring a fourth and final goal in the 65th minute (4-1).
The fans of Dives-Cabourg (N 3) put an end to the great adventure of the Réunionnais of Saint-Denis (R1) to continue theirs in the Coupe de France.
In an afternoon decidedly full of surprises, Cannes (N 2) participated in the party by defeating Grenoble (L 2), thanks to a goal from Cheick N'Doye, former Red Star player and well known on the lawns of Ligue 1. The Cannes players also broke away after half an hour of play (3-1, 39th) before keeping their advantage in the second period, 3-2 final score.
Toulouse is scared, Brest holds its place
On the Ligue 1 club side, apart from the Le Havre mishap, there were no other early exits. Toulouse got into a trap match against Hauts Lyonnais (N 3) after the expulsion of Niklas Schmidt, author of a very crude tackle (27th), but the “Téfécé” ensured the essential by winning on penalties (0-0, 4-2 tab).
For its part, Stade Brestois did not tremble against La-Roche-sur-Yon (N 2) thanks to Ludovic Ajorque, the only scorer of the match at the start of the game (0-1).
