Relocated to the usual pitch of the Toulouse Football Club, this historic meeting for this small club from the Toulouse suburbs took place in front of nearly 18,000 spectators all committed to its cause.
That wasn't enough. Five-time winner of the event, Monaco had decided to make only a few adjustments in his starting eleven and very quickly dampened the hopes of his opponent.
Surprise winner of Versailles, N1 club (2-1), during the previous round, theUnion Saint-Jean broke in the 20th minute on a dive ball from Eliesse Ben Seghir. The Monegasques then hit the post through Minamino (32nd) before Vanderson doubled the lead a few minutes later (2-0, 38th).
Beaten (4-2) at home by Paris Saint-Germain three days earlier during the advanced match of the 16th day of L1, ASM, who perhaps said goodbye to the title that day, then allowed themselves to miss a penalty, poorly taken by Embolo just before the break.
Insufficient, however, to revive Union Saint-Jean whose goalkeeper, Fawzi Rabyi still had the luxury of stopping a second penalty, from Minamino this time (59th), before Monaco added to the score with Teze (66th) then Ilenikhena (90th).
Founded in 2018 only, the amateur club had never gone this far in the Coupe de France and if the five divisions difference was too much this time, he still left the competition through the front door by scoring a goal at the end of the match by Benjamin Tournier (83rd).
