Le Puy humiliates Montpellier, Saint-Brieuc creates the feat against Le Havre

Saint-Brieuc treats itself to Le Havre

Stade Briochin, a National 2 club, eliminated Le Havre, a resident of Ligue 1, 1-0 in 32^es of the Coupe de France final on Saturday in Saint-Brieuc.

A headed goal at the end of the match

Dominant in the first period, the Breton amateurs let up during the second, but took advantage of a corner to head the only goal of the game thanks to Stan Janno (80^e).

For Le Havre, 17^e 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.

Brest battered, Toulouse close to the exit

Brest escaped without incident but without shining (1-0) from its trip to La Roche-sur-Yon, another resident of National 2.

Still diminished by injuries, with only two valid professional central defenders, the Bretons took their hosts very seriously, even if they trembled at the very end of the match.

It was especially in the very last minutes that the amateurs of La Roche-sur-Yon made the pros waver, by Chérif Diallo (88^e) and Anthony Civet at the end of added time (90^e+5).

Unfortunately for them, the Vendéens, who did not concede much to Brest throughout the match, were punished at the end of the first period.

Ajorque decisive

Following a recovery from Jordan Amavi, Romain Faivre let his cross pass behind Ludovic Ajorque, whose powerful strike could not be sufficiently repelled by goalkeeper Imbadillahi Ahamada (0-1, 40^e).

Winner of the event in 2023, Toulouse had to fight until the penalties to escape the trap set by Hauts-Lyonnais, a National 3 team.

Le Puy humiliates Montpellier

Puy Foot 43, 2nd in its group in National 2 (4th div.) eliminated Montpellier, bottom of Ligue 1 after winning 4-0, Saturday at the Charles-Massot stadium in Puy-en-Velay (Haute- Loire) at the end of a match well controlled by the Ponots.

Last season, Le Puy reached the quarter-finals, eliminated by Rennes (3-1) at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium in Saint-Etienne after taking out two Ligue 2 teams, Dunkerque and Laval.

In 2022-2023, the Ponots beat Nice (1-0) in the 32nd final.
This defeat sounds like a humiliation for the Montpellier residents, as they were totally dominated by the Altiligère team in the second half.

The goals were scored by Zogba (43), Pays (75), Diebold (78) and Mayela (90).

Lyon beats amateurs Feignies-Aulnoye in the 32nd final

Olympique Lyonnais won (2-1) against Entente Feignies-Aulnoye (National 2) in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France on Saturday, in a match played at the Stade du Hainaut, in Valenciennes.

Saïd Benrahma, with a sublime free kick in the top corner (44th), then Georges Mikautadze after a nice move with a touch of the ball (88th), gave the Lyonnais victory before Kevin Koubemba reduced the score in favor of the fourth division amateurs in added time (90th + 4).
