First surprise during these 32nd finals of the Coupe de France!
Pau, 13th in Ligue 2, won 2-1 against Montpellier.
The Héraultais had done the most difficult by coming back to the score thanks to a fine header from Valère Germain (70th, 1-1), but that was without counting the last decisive goal from Mayron George to qualify his team (81st, 2-1 ).
In the Ligue 1 "
badly ranked
" match between Strasbourg and Angers, it was ultimately the visitors who won after a pleasant and hotly contested match.
The Angevins got the better of their evening opponents with a penalty shootout.
Nyamsi missed the last shot on the Strasbourg side (0-0, 4 TAB 5).
Grenoble and Paris FC dominate Ligue 2
Two 100% Ligue 2 shocks afterwards.
Grenoble logically got rid of Nîmes (1-0) thanks to a superb goal from Sanyang in the last moments of the match on a very nice one-two in the Nîmes defense (88th, 1-0).
Finally, Paris FC won against Valenciennes (3-1).
The Northerners opened the scoring thanks to Berthomier from the penalty spot (16th, 0-1) but the Parisians reacted well, also from the penalty spot (28th, 1-1) before making the difference in the second half.
There will therefore be at least one club from the capital in the round of 16, pending the result of PSG which travels to Châteauroux this evening (9 p.m.).
