Huge surprise for the start of the 7th round of the Coupe de France, with the leader of Ligue 2, Paris FC, eliminated after the penalty shootout by Quevilly-Rouen Métropole, resident of National 1 (1- 1, 2-4 TAB).
Paris FC is falling from a very high place. Authors of a good start to the season in Ligue 2 (8 wins, 3 draws, 2 defeats) and leaders of the championship, the Parisians were eliminated in the 7th round of the Coupe de France, which marks the entry into contention of the clubs second division. Trailing after a quarter of an hour of play on a goal from Belkacem Dali Amar for QRM, the PFC quickly reacted to equalize thanks to Nouha Dicko.
Pushed on penalties by Quevilly Rouen after a score of 1-1 at the end of regulation time, the Parisian club came up against a very tall Pierre Patron in the Normandy goals. With two failures on the first two attempts, the PFC finally lost 4-2 after a panenka from Yanis Dede-Lhomme.

The Arnault family will take power
In the coming weeks, Paris FC will change dimension since the Arnault family, the third largest fortune in the world, has entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire the majority of shares in the Ligue 2 leader. The club’s directors and Antoine Arnault are also successfully passed before the DNCG on Monday. The body validated the PFC takeover project, which would have given itself two seasons to return to the elite of French football, according to the development plan presented by the Arnault family. At the moment, although the negotiations seem to be on track, no formalization has been announced.
