First jostled by fans of Cannet-Rocheville, Marseille qualified for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France on Sunday, just like Lens, Monaco, Montpellier, Saint-Etienne and Reims, while Angers and Metz have been ousted.
Nine months after Canet-en-Roussillon (National 2), Cannet-Rocheville (N3) gave OM a few cold sweats. But the current runner-up of PSG in Ligue 1 this time avoided elimination (4-1), thanks in particular to a triple from Milik.
In a well-stocked Velodrome, the small Alpes-Maritimes club created a sensation when Mike Coré beat Steve Mandanda (17th). The exclusion of Lahouel and the resulting penalty allowed the Marseillais to equalize by Arkadiusz Milik (41st).
The Pole scored twice again in the second period (57th, 90th), while the Brazilian Luis Henrique scored his first but with OM (77th). Three achievements also signed Guendouzi, decisive passer each time.
– Angers and Metz out –
Two other Ligue 1 clubs, Angers and Metz, however, stopped when they entered the competition. The Angevins missed their subject on the synthetic turf of Linas-Montlhéry (N3). The Essonne club quickly took the lead thanks to a double from Pascal Leno (9th, 24th) to never let go.
Already in difficulty in Ligue 1, Metz was eliminated on penalties in Bergerac (0-0, 5-4 tab). Pape Matar Sarr saw his attempt stopped by goalkeeper Pierre Laborde.
Other elite clubs are insured without hindering their qualification. Finalist of the last edition against PSG, Monaco won at the Red Star of Habib Beye (National) thanks to a double from Wissam Ben Yedder (32nd, 64th).
Lens defeated Stade Poitevin (N3). Ignatius Ganago took advantage of a scramble from the opposing defense to score (36th). The Sang et Or evolved a large part of the match in power play after the exclusion of Neto (28th).
Montpellier will also see the 16th thanks to a short 1-0 success on the ground of Andrézieux-Bouthéon (N2), OM striker in 2019. Téji Savanier was the only scorer of the match from the penalty spot (68th).
The Stade de Reims, long held in check during the derby against Reims-Saint-Anne (Regional 1), snatched his ticket thanks to the young Martin Adeline, 18 (89th).
Last in Ligue 1, Saint-Etienne offered a breakthrough in the Cup with his 1-0 success at the neighbor of Lyon-La Duchère (National), for the first of the new coach Pascal Dupraz. In this derby, without supporters of the Greens banned from traveling, it was Arnaud Nordin who scored the only but of the meeting (32nd).
In the evening (9:10 p.m.), Paris SG, without Messi left to rest but with Mbappé and Ramos, moves to Valenciennes to face the fans of Feignies-Aulnoye (N3).
