The 32nd finals of the Coupe de France this Wednesday, February 10, which interested the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 clubs, started with a peculiarity: all gave rise to away victories.
If the logic was respected for OM in Auxerre (2-0), Monaco in Grenoble (1-0), and Lens in Nantes (4-2), the surprise came from the Matmut Atlantique stadium in Bordeaux, where Toulouse won the Garonne derby (2-0).
In the last match at the start of Wednesday afternoon, Montpellier won in Strasbourg (2-0).

Second in Ligue 2 behind Troyes, Toulouse built their victory in two stages, through the Ivorian Vakoun Issouf Bayo (39th), imitated by the young Janis Antiste (18), author of the second goal shortly before the hour of play. Toulouse's last qualification for the Coupe de France on the Bordeaux lawn dates back to 1974.
Raymond Domenech ultimately failed to win a meeting during his forty days on the Nantes bench.
Sacked during the meeting, the former coach of the France team saw his team logically be eliminated by Lensois while in control (2-4).
This Wednesday evening, PSG will conclude the Cup day with a trip to Caen, deprived of several important players (9:05 pm).
THE RESULTS:
Nantes - Lens 2-4, Bordeaux - Toulouse (L2) 0-2, Auxerre (L2) - Marseille 0-2, Strasbourg - Montpellier 0-2, Grenoble (L2) - Monaco 0-1.
