This Saturday, the round of 16 of the Coupe de France continues.
All Ligue 1 clubs have not had the same success: the exploits of Red Star and Puy Foot, the box of Metz and Laborde which delivers Montpellier ... back on the main results of the day.
The sensation: the Red Star overthrows Lens
One hundred years after the first of its five Coupe de France victories (1921, 1922, 1923, 1928, 1942), the Red Star has written a new page in its beautiful history with competition.
The Ile-de-France club, sixth in the National (3rd Division), created a huge surprise by overthrowing RC Lens (3-2), 5th in Ligue 1.
The locals, who opened the scoring by Pape Meissa Ba (21st), then conceded two goals from Facundo Medina (29th) and Cheick Doucouré (49th), before cracking the Sang et Or at the end of the match thanks to Diego Michel (83rd) and Alan Dzabana (90th).

The feat: Le Puy Foot eliminates Lorient
Lens is not the only elite formation to have fallen on Saturday.

The player: Montpellier thanks Laborde
The MHSC had all the trouble in the world to get its ticket for the round of 16, struggling to overcome the neighbor Alès, formation of National 3 (1-2).
And it is a replacement, Gaëtan Laborde, who got Montpellier out of the trap.
Entered the game in the 63rd minute, he scored twenty minutes later to free his own, who had been joined in the score by Oussama El Bakkal (22nd), after the opener of Jordan Ferri (12th).

The cardboard box: Metz is having a blast against Valenciennes
Opposed to Valenciennes (Ligue 2), FC Metz enforced the hierarchy by putting the matter.
The Garnets held their place at the Stade du Hainaut (0-4).
Fabien Centonze (7th), Thierry Ambrose (34th), Vagner Dias Gonçalves (61st) and Pape Matar Sarr (89th) took part in the Moselle offensive festival.
The Messins thus won their qualification at the same time as their largest victory of the season.
