After Concarneau on Friday, two other Ligue 2 clubs were eliminated this Saturday during the 7th round of the Coupe de France: Troyes, beaten 2-1 in Epinal (N), and SC Bastia, swept (4-1) by the fans of Lyon-La Duchère (N3). The Rhone residents, who have had several memorable runs in the Cup in the past, took off at the very end of the match, when the score was one all, thanks to the achievements of Ilyes Boughanmi (89th, 90+4) and Sosa Maluvunu (90+2).
In Epinal, the Trojans, after conceding the opener at the start of the second half, also quickly equalized through Alexis Lefebvre (1-1, 52nd). But, reduced to ten after the exclusion of Tanguy Zoukrou, the Aubois, currently 17th in L2, conceded a second goal by Haitian midfielder Bryan Labissière, author of a double (2-1, 84th).
Paris FC, Guingamp and Auxerre were hot
At the same time, Paris FC, another resident of L2, was very scared at Villejuif, a Regional 1 club, the equivalent of the sixth level: the Parisians only won after a long penalty shootout (2-2, 5-4 tab).
Another L2 club to suffer: Guingamp. In a Breton derby against Saint-Malo, in front of 2,197 spectators, En Avant got tripped up, but ended up qualifying on penalties (2-2, 4-2 tab). Same thrills, and same happy ending, for AJ Auxerre against Pays du Valois, N3 club from the Paris Basin (0-0, 4-2 tab).
Friday evening, Concarneau was the first L2 club to fall, at Saint-Brieuc (N2), at the end of another penalty shootout (5 to 3, 3-3 at the end of regulation time).
