Bad times for the elite. Lyon was eliminated by National 3 resident Bourgoin-Jallieu (2-2, 4 shots on goal to 2), and Rennes by Troyes (Ligue 2) in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, Wednesday January 15. Lyon thought they had done the hard part by leading 2-1 after suffering the opener, but Mehdi Moujetsky scored his second goal of the evening, ironically in the 69th minute, to force the Rhone residents into a perilous penalty shootout. goals.
The Lyonnais started it in a catastrophic way with the failures of the captains Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso. Moujetzky's failure was not enough to put them back in the saddle. Huge disillusionment for Pierre Sage's men against a team that plays four divisions lower.
Jorge Sampaoli's Rennes, reinforced in this winter transfer window by Brice Samba and Seko Fofana, also experienced a disappointment (1-0 defeat) against Troyes, resident of Ligue 2. Cannes (N2) also achieved a big blow by eliminating the leader of Ligue 2 Lorient (2-1).
Toulouse, on the other hand, enforced its status by disposing of Ligue 2 club Laval (2-1). Strasbourg too, but the Alsatian club was scared by going through a penalty shootout (2-2, 5 shots on goal to 3) after a match in full fog at Thaon (N3), where supporters even thickened the atmosphere with smoke bombs.
In the duel of the Ligue 1 teams, it was Brest who prevailed over Nantes (2-1). Antoine Kombouaré's team, however, believed they could revive by reducing the score at the end of the match.
