The feat of Saint-Brieuc which eliminates Le Havre
Stade Briochin, national 2 club, eliminated Le Havre, resident of Ligue 1, 1-0 during the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France, Saturday in Saint-Brieuc.
Dominant in the first period, the Breton amateurs took their foot off the gas during the second, but took advantage of a corner to head in the only goal of the game thanks to Stan Janno (80th).
For Le Havre, 17th in Ligue 1, this is another poor performance, the fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions. André Ayew's partners, despite a goal disallowed for an unclear handball from Emmanuel Sabbi in the first period, produced nothing from the match, except in short sequences.
Unlike Stade Briochin, in its packed Fred-Aubert stadium, very solid in defense, showing a lot of desire from the first minutes of the match. Saint-Brieuc thus qualifies for the round of 16 of the competition, the draw for which will take place on Sunday at the end of the 32nd finals.
Brest tames La Roche-sur-Yon
Brest got away without shining but without incident (1-0) from its trip to the lawn of La Roche-sur-Yon (National 2) on Saturday in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France.
Despite a handful of good chances for the Vendéens, the Finistériens showed cold realism by capitalizing on an opposing error by Ludovic Ajorque, in the 40th minute, to advance to their first round of the Cup.
Toulouse qualifies for penalties
The Violets opposed the Hauts Lyonnais club, residents of National 3, won in pain after a penalty session which had started badly with Franck Magri's first missed attempt. But the Haut Lyonnais players missed the next two.
Before that, the match was poor in chances on a pitch in poor condition.
Ligue 2 clubs leave
Grenoble and Martigues were eliminated by amateurs from Cannes (N2) and Bourgoin-Jallieu (N3). The latter even outclassed the completely apathetic Martégaux (4-1).
