Metz, Caen and Clermont qualified for the 8th round

The day after the first wave of exploits of this 7th round of the Coupe de France, one could wonder if new Ligue 2 teams were going to stumble on the pitfall. Not in the 2 p.m. meetings anyway. For their entry into the running, the professional clubs generally enforced the hierarchy this afternoon. Caen won 4-0 on the lawn of Chartres (N3), thanks to goals from Brahimi, Le Bihan, Alexandre Mendy and Kyeremeh. Pau, 11th in Ligue 2 and looking for a victory for 5 matches, has not completely turned its back on its worries but has finally won back, against Bayonne (1-3).

For its part, Metz fulfilled the contract by dismissing Obernai, Regional 2 club (0-3), while Clermont dominated Feytiat, resident of Regional 1. Boulogne (N1) logically crushed Houilles (R1) with the score of 3-0, a price almost identical to that applied by Bastia on the Freyming lawn (0-4). At the same time, one of this year's little thumbs, Saint-Brieuc Ginglin, R1 team and winner of Alençon (2-0), won his ticket for the 8th round, just like the Diables Noirs (R1 Mayotte) , winners of Crepy-en-Valois on penalties.
