The eighth round of the Coupe de France – the last before L1 clubs entered the race and the second, yes, with L2 teams – saw Sochaux and Guingamp disappointed on Saturday.
The Cubs lost on penalties to National 3 (fifth division) resident Thaon Normans after a tied score at the end of regulation time (2-2, 3 tabs to 1).
The EAG for its part suffered the law of Herbaria, even on penalties after the draw (2-2, 4 tabs to 3). No problem, however, for Amiens, who beat Aiglon Lamentin (R1) 10-0.
It also applies to Bastia, Nîmes, Grenoble, Valenciennes, Metz, Paris FC, Pau, Rodez and Châteauroux against lower league opponents.
