Residents of National, Sochaux and Rouen got the better of Reims and Toulouse this Sunday in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.
If Lille and Le Havre enforced the logic of the hierarchy this Sunday in the Coupe de France, while certainly overcoming Racing (0-1) and Châteauroux (0-1), National 2 and National clubs respectively , Reims and Toulouse for their part collapsed, ousted at the gates of the round of 16 by lower division teams.
At the end of regulation time, Sochaliens and Rémois were back to back (2-2); Champenois Agbadou, author of a double (6e82e), had allowed his team to cushion the shock in the face of the Franche-Comté goals signed Michel (21e) and Daho (45e on penalty). So the Lion Cubs made the difference on penalties, after six shots from both sides (5 tab to 4).
Rouen, a perfect penalty shootout
Same scenario for the Rouennais, who after 90 minutes stood up to TFC (3-3). Sierra (19e on penalty), Gboho (32e) and Nicolaisen, in added time (90e+2), then responded to the Normans Bezzekhami (16e), Sanson (43e on penalty) and Bouzamoucha (64e). Only Rouen, full of resources, was faultless during the fateful session, and after 12 shots for both teams! It was ultimately the unfortunate Suazo who turned this 16e final, by pulling on the post. Sahloune having immediately converted the qualifying shot on goal.
