French Cup: Saint-Brieuc overthrows Nice, Guingamp drops Toulouse!

This is the feeling of these knockout stages! Stade Briochin, resident of National 2, achieved an authentic feat by eliminating Nice (2-1), without even going through the penalties. In a fusion Fred-Aubert stadium, the Bretons, already tombstrokes in the previous round, overthrew the French Riviera club thanks to a double Hugo Boudin at the very end of the match.

Saint-Brieuc overturns Nice, a monumental feat!

Led 1-0 after opening the Nice score, the Briochins never gave up and were rewarded with an equalization in the 88th minute, before crucifying the Aiglons in the 97th. An earthquake in the Coupe de France, since Nice, winner of competition in 1997, was one of the outsiders to the coronation.

After Annecy, Saint-Brieuc offers himself a second victim of prestige, proving that his epic is not by chance. Direction the quarter -finals for the Bretons, who enter a little more in the history of the Cup!

Guingamp and Angers surprise Toulouse and Strasbourg

Another surprise of the evening, Guingamp triumphed over the lawn of Toulouse (0-2). The Bretons, winners of the Cup in 2009 and 2014, continue to dream of a third coronation after this success signed Kalidou Sidibé and Tanguy Ahile. A new feat for a team that plays in Ligue 2, but which proves once again that it is cut for the big evenings in the Coupe de France.

For his part, Angers achieved a nice blow by winning 3-1 in Strasbourg, in the only duel 100 % Ligue 1 of these eighths. Esteban Lepoan was the great craftsman of this victory with a double, followed by a third goal signed Farid El Mellali. For the third time in 17 years, Angers eliminates Strasbourg in this competition.

Cannes in demonstration, last poster to come

Finally, AS Cannes extinguished the hopes of Dives-Cabourg by winning 5-3. Norman amateurs, who had returned to 3-2, ended up falling in the face of the experience and technical quality of the Cannois. Julien Domingues notably scored a splendid returned chisel, one of the most beautiful goals in this cup.

After the qualifications of Brest, PSG and Dunkirk on Tuesday, there is only one match to play: Reims will face Bourgoin-Jallieu this Thursday to complete the quarter of the quarters.

The feat of Saint-Brieuc marks this evening of the French Cup. How far will the Breton heroes go?
