13 matches over two days, and few surprises for the clubs from Nord and Pas-de-Calais. This 7th Coupe de France tour respected the balance of power. The waking dream of RC Labourse, resident of Départementale 1, came to an end after a 4-0 defeat against Bobigny.
A weekend of football also marked by the entry into contention of Ligue 2 clubs including Dunkirk, who qualified at the last minute against Sporting Béthune after an interminable penalty shootout.
The qualified teams will meet you for the eighth round of the Coupe de France, which will take place on the weekend of Saturday November 30. It will be the last before the Ligue 1 teams – including LOSC and RC Lens – enter the competition. And surprises can still happen… everyone remembers the Calais feat in 2000.
- Labourse (D1) 0 – 4 Bobigny (N2): Little Thumb eliminated
5 divisions separated the two clubs, which did not frighten the Blues and Whites. Combative and pushed by their supporters gathered in large numbers around the Noeux-les-Mines field, RC Labourse finally lost 4 goals to 0.

After resisting at the start of the match, the Northerners were finally left behind by the players from Bobigny, currently 2nd in Group C of National 2. A defeat which means the end of a magnificent journey in the Coupe de France for the club's players. Béthunois. Congratulations to RC Laborse and coach David Deville.
After leading twice on their lawn, the days of Racing Club Roubaix finally fell to the team from Neuilly-sur-Marne, two divisions above. A close match during which the two teams successively came back to score in turns.
It was ultimately Neuilly-sur-Marne which won and qualified for the rest of the competition. RC Roubaix's Coupe de France journey is over.
- Les Ulis (R1) 1 – 3 RC Calais (N3): Calais wins its ticket
Traveling to Les Ulis, the players from Racing Club de Calais won 3 goals to 1 at the end of the 90 minutes of the match.
A controlled match, and a ticket won for the 8thth turn for the Calaisians. For the second consecutive season, RC Calais has reached this stage of the competition.
- Pays de St-Omer (R1) 5 – 6 Noyelles-sous-Lens (R2): US Noyelles-sous-Lens qualifies on penalty
Noyelles-sous-Lens snatched victory from a penalty, qualifying for the next stage of the competition. It was the first time that the team played in a 7th round of the Coupe de France, since the creation of the club in 1945.
Agitated, the Pays Saint-Omer bows after receiving three red cards. Buoyed by a good run last year which ended in elimination by Dunkerque in 32e final, the club's journey in the Coupe de France ends here.
- FC Raismes (R1) 0 – 5 Feignies-Aulnoye (R2): the Entente largely wins
FC Raismes lost to Feignies-Aulnoye after a difficult match. A walk in the park for the Entente, who emerged victorious with 5 goals scored, including two doubles scored by Malick Sambou and Souleymane Diarra.
After a great victory in the previous stage against Pays du Valois (N3), the Coupe de France adventure therefore ends for Raismes, who played against one of his first hopes, Thomas de Parmentier. Feignies, one of the seven biggest clubs in Pas-de-Calais, continues the competition.
- Anstaing Chereng (R3) 0 – 4 FCM Aubervilliers (N2): no sparks for the Star
Unsurprisingly, Anstaing Chereng concedes the match to FCM Aubervilliers. 4 goals to 0 for the Parisians, including one offered by an Etoile own camp.
Anstaing folded against a strong opponent, playing five divisions above him. The club can still rejoice at having reached 7th round of the Coupe de France, at the end of a historic qualification.
- Le Touquet (R3) 1 – 1 Portuguese from Amiens (R1): Le Touquet wins on penalties
The match was played on a penalty shootout which saw Touquettois emerge victorious.
A victory obtained at the end of a long match, after a half-hour interruption to evacuate Samson Seguebenou, defender of the Portuguese from Amiens, by the firefighters. FC Amiens Porto, currently eighth in the regional ranking, had only reached the seventh round once, in 2017.
Le Touquet celebrates a qualification which is a feat, after beating Saint Quentin (N3) in the previous stage.
- Haubourdin (R3) 1 – 7 Red Star (L2): no feat for the Haubourdinois
No miracle for the CG Haubourdin players. The Red Star, current 17th of Ligue 2, easily qualified for the 8e round by winning 7 goals to 1 on the lawn of the Croix synthetic (North).
After the opening score in the 15thth minute, the locals immediately reacted by equalizing from a free kick. But the Haubourdinois gave in in the second half of the match against a team playing 6 divisions above. The adventure of the Coupe de France ends there, the memories will remain engraved.
- Houilles (R1) 0 – 3 Boulogne-sur-Mer (N): the solid USBCO
USBCO (N) did not tremble and won 3 goals to 0 against Houilles Athletic Club, a club from Yvelines playing in Regional 1. Faced with a “very good Houilles team who didn’t give up”the US Boulogne Côte d'Opale thus joins the 8th round of the Coupe de France.
The Boulonnais will host AS Beauvais Oise (N2) at the Stade de la Libération, after their 1-0 victory against Chantilly.
- Drancy (N3) 2 – 1 Pays de Cassel (N3): Pays de Cassel leaves the competition
No victory for the US Country of Cassel. Facing a solid Drancy team, the USPC failed to come back and therefore left the competition.
A bad time to go through, two years after the extraordinary qualification of Casselois in 16ths of the French Cup final. Remember, the yellow and blacks faced Neymar and MBappe's PSG at the Bollaert Delelis stadium. Despite the 7-0 defeat, the atmosphere was magical. The charm of the Cup.
- Béthune (R1) 0 – 0 (tab 6-7) Dunkerque (L2): Dunkerque was (very) hot
It was a close call. Béthune, resident of Régionale 1, almost created the feat against the Maritimes of Dunkerque, currently on the podium of Ligue 2.
At the end of the match, the two teams faced off on penalties. It was ultimately the Dunkirks who won 7 tab to 6, synonymous with qualification for 8th round of the Coupe de France. The Maritimes will face Aubervilliers.
- Arras (R1) 0 – 2 Valenciennes (N): Valenciennes does the job
A sold-out meeting, and a logical victory for the VAFC. It was upon returning from the locker room at the start of the second half that the Valenciennes woke up. The club, currently 8th of National, won 2 goals to 0 against the Arrageois. “The job has been done and that’s the main thing,” reacted the club.
- Calais Beau Marais (R1) 3 – 1 Paris 15 (R2): Calais in force
The Calaisiens easily fulfilled the contract by winning 3 goals to 1 against AC Paris 15, and thus reached 8th French Cup tour.
Calais Beau Marais will face Amiens in two weeks. Four divisions separate the two clubs, but anything is possible. Currently 6th in Ligue 23, the Amiens – whose squad was extremely reduced on Saturday November 16 – qualified through a mouse hole by winning 5 goals to 3 after a draw against FC Fleury 91, club from National 2.
