Big surprise in the Coupe de France!

We know the identity of the first five qualified for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.

Five teams have already validated their ticket for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France and among them, a surprise guest: Feignies-Aulnoye. The resident of National 2 effectively paid the scalp of Quevilly-Rouen (1-0), eighteenth in Ligue 2, thanks to a goal scored in the first quarter of an hour by Thomas De Parmentier (13e). A goal to which the Normans were unable to respond despite a penalty, missed by Kalifa Coulibaly (33e).

No surprises in the other matches played this Friday late afternoon. The first Ligue 1 club to enter the competition, Nantes had a scare but ultimately overthrew Pau (1-4), notably with a double from its recruit Tino Kadewere. Ninth in Ligue 2, Rodez held its place against Challans (0-4), which plays in N3. Valenciennes also gained respect against Sarreguemines. Finally, the Racing Club de France won in Chambly (1-2).
