Traditionally organized at the start of the year, the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France therefore began before Christmas in 2024. And several top seeds were out this Sunday afternoon, starting with theMarseille Olympictraveling to Saint-Etienne for the best mid-day poster.
Already winners in the Chaudron at the start of the month (2-0), the Marseillais did it again with an even more resounding success (4-0). Roberto De Zerbi brought out the heavy artillery, he did not regret it. Facilitated by the rapid expulsion of Sissoko (21st), Marseille recited its ranges thanks to its executives, finding the net through Greenwood (22nd), Rabiot (38th), Luis Henrique (64th) and Hojbjerg (81st).
Monaco and Rennes do the job, Auxerre gets showered
AS Monaco maintained its standing against the amateurs of Union Saint-Jean (4-1), who had the merit of saving the honor at the end of the match. Mission accomplished also for Rennes on the Bordeaux lawn for a poster which smelled of Ligue 1 (4-1), and for Reims, logical winner at Still Mutzig (3-1).
The semi-surprise of the day took place at Abbé-Deschamps, where a revamped AJ Auxerre was picked up cold by a Dunkirk team in great form. The Burgundians were unable to catch up after a failed first half (0-1).
