Royal Versailles!
Waly Diouf has just scored the last shot on goal before running towards his teammates to celebrate this historic qualification.
All together, they go to the hundred supporters from Yvelines to thank them for their support.
After an incredible match, FC Versailles holds its first qualification for the semi-finals of the Coupe de France.
Thirty-two years after Racing Paris 1 (RP1), a representative from the Ile-de-France other than PSG will play in the last four.
If the RP1 was at the time within the elite, the FC Versailles evolves, him, in N2, that is to say the 4th national level.
This situates the prodigious feat of this Yvelines team which definitely enters the history of the Old Lady, a centenary competition.
In Périgueux (Dordogne), the Versaillese emerged victorious from the duel of Petits Poucets against Bergerac (1-1, and 5-4 on tab).

Concentrated and solid, the Versaillese made the essential commitment for a quarter-final of the Coupe de France from the first minutes.
They take the lead quickly.
Well served in the area by Sylva, Inza Diarrassouba unleashes a sudden, curling strike with the right foot which deceives the Périgord goalkeeper (0-1, 19').
An early goal – the first conceded by Bergerac in the competition – which galvanized the formation of Yvelines.
Dominating in the duels, the Ile-de-France residents miss the break twice in the first act.
Kapitbafan Djoco, the hero of the previous round in Toulouse (0-1), narrowly missed his duel against goalkeeper Pierre Laborde-Turon (31st) then the latter intervened brilliantly on a powerful strike on the right side of the surface repair by Diego Michel (37th).
Already nine opponents eliminated!
The second act is bitter.
Versailles defended very well until the expulsion at the end of the game of its top scorer (13 goals) Christopher Ibayi for two faults in two minutes (77th and 79th).
At 10 against 11, Youssef Chibhi's men cracked at the last minute following a cross shot from Tressens (1-1).
The only chance of the Bergerac match.
Frustrating.
But, the Ile-de-France residents are more effective during the penalty shootout and snatch the qualification.

The Versaillese will now be able to celebrate this historic qualification for the last four with dignity before watching the draw this Wednesday evening after the Nice-OM meeting.
Youssef Chibhi's men will face the winner of this meeting, that of Nantes-Bastia or AS Monaco on March 1 or 2.
This will be the 10th match for the Yvelines team in the competition this season.
After starting the event in the 4th round against Brétigny (3-0) on October 3, Versailles then eliminated Cachan (0-4), Neuilly-sur-Marne (0-1), Olympique Lumbrois (R1 Nord ) (2-3), Poissy (1-0), Sarre-Union (0-1), La Roche-sur-Yon (4-0), the Toulouse pros (0-1) and therefore Bergerac this Wednesday.
In three weeks, they will be 90 minutes from a final on May 8 at the Stade de France.
Magic !
