The North will be entitled to a derby. This Wednesday, Dunkirk (Ligue 2) traveled to Haguenau (N2) to try to secure the 16th and final ticket for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. Postponed due to a frozen pitch, this match was for a long time undecided, even dominated by the National 2 team, who opened the scoring via Metzger in the 38th minute.
Despite significant possession of the ball, the Dunkirks struggled to create clear chances. Thanks to five very early changes, Gaëtan Courtet finally equalized a quarter of an hour from the end of the match. The Alsatians then sank, conceding twice more, in the 83rd and in stoppage time.
Thanks to this success, the USLD joins Lille in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. The match will take place at LOSC. As a reminder, Paris Saint-Germain will travel to Le Mans, while Strasbourg and Angers will face each other in the only duel between Ligue 1 clubs. Cannes (N2) and Dives Cabourg (N3) will have the unique opportunity to reach the quarters of the competition.
