Marseille and Monaco down the drain, Nice and Guingamp in 8th

Lille surprises Marseille at the end of the suspense

Lille created a little surprise by overcoming Olympique de Marseille (1-1, 4 tab to 3) Tuesday evening at the Vélodrome, putting an end to the Phocéens' journey in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.

Losc extended its invincibility to 20 matches in all competitions, despite Luis Henrique's last-second equalizer (90^e+6), which made his task more complicated. The Brazilian hero then saw Vito Mannone push away his shot on goal, like that of Englishman Jonathan Rowe.

Lille opened the scoring with the Icelandic Hakon Haraldsson (68^e), served by Jonathan David. With this early setback in the competition, OM sees its drought prolonged in the Coupe de France, which it has not won since 1989. The Marseillais only have Ligue 1 left to play this season.

Reims takes out Monaco on penalties

Another contender for the coronation, Monaco was eliminated by Reims on penalties (1-1, 3-1 tab) a few minutes earlier on the Auguste-Delaune pitch.

After achievements from the head of Cédric Kipré for Reims (45^e) and Mohamed Salisu (70^e) for Monaco, the Monegasque shooters were clumsy with three misses during the penalties. For his first match with ASM, Danish recruit Mika Biereth missed his.

The adventure is already over for the Principality team, currently third in Ligue 1, which was released in 8^e Cup final last year by Rouen (National) on penalties again.

Nice passes without shining in Bastia

For its part, Nice won in Bastia (1-0) thanks to a goal from Mohamed-Ali Cho in the second period. The French striker showed himself perfectly on a perfect serve from Evann Guessand, Nice's man in form currently.

Taking his teammate's cross from the right, without control, Cho completed a great collective action during which Badredine Bouanani also intervened (0-1, 62^e). At the end of the first period, Maxime Dupé, the Nice goalkeeper, had repelled a penalty from Amine Boutrah (45^e). Nice therefore remains alive in the Coupe de France, but for the manner, it will be necessary to come back.

Dives-Cabourg, Little Thumb?

Among the five National 3 clubs still in the race, Dives-Cabourg extended the adventure by beating Puy (1-0). Thaon (N3) and Espaly (N3) will have a lot to do against Ligue 1 residents Strasbourg and PSG respectively. The Normans could well become Tom Thumb of this edition of the Coupe de France.

Le Mans also took out Valenciennes on penalties (1-1, tab) for a duel between National clubs, like Guingamp against Sochaux (2-2, 9 tab to 8) at the end of a long series.
