A first in history for an amateur club.
Puy Foot 43 will be Tom Thumb in the quarter-finals of the women's and... men's French Cup.
The D 3 players, who had eliminated (1-1, 4-3 on penalties) the Stade de Reims (D 1) on January 28, were in fact imitated by the men on Tuesday.
In the final moments of the match, Jules Meyer, 23-year-old striker, scored twice by converting a liberating penalty for the Auvergne club, who fell at home (2-1) to Laval (Ligue 2).
Enough to exult the 4,000 spectators present at the Charles-Massot stadium.
And an XXL feat for 2nd in Group A of National 2 (4th French division)!

“We were at the guys’ games, it’s incredible!
They took out two teams from Ligue 2, and that boosts us.
They come to our matches and so do we.
There is solidarity between us, we support each other.
It's beautiful !
», Confides Amel Salah, 21-year-old goalkeeper of the women's team and one of the heroes in the round of 16 after stopping two penalties against Reims.
