Coupe de France: Nantes eliminated by Le Puy (N2), Nice, Monaco and Brest by Level (L2), Dunkirk (L2)

Nice tops Bordeaux (L2, 3-2) with a double from Sanson

After three defeats in three L1 trips, Nice began to win again away from their base. In the polar cold of Bordeaux, Morgan Sanson was the great man of the meeting. On the second ball, his cross over the defense was raised by Ivan Goosend (35m). The former Strasbourg midfielder then converted a penalty conceded by Rookie Cho (47th) and scored the second goal, which was well-started by Lotomba and well aided by favorable counter-attacks unleashed by the local defense (60th).

If OGCN scored as many as six goals in a single match, it also confirmed its defensive discomfort. The dynamic Livolante reduced the score to 1-2 (59th), well served by Ellis, then the much-criticized Weissbach again scored from distance (76th) to put his side within a goal. At that time, Bulka was unable to do anything, having worked several times in the first period (18th, 24th). COB

Laval (L2) stun Nantes (1-0) at La Beaujoire thanks to Tchokounté

FCN, winners of the 2022 edition and finalists in 2023, exited the 2024 Coupe de France in the round of 16, being eliminated by Laval without creating the slightest clear chance until the edge of extra time, when Erre Comerte scored twice (90th). . Free kick, 90th +1 from the corner) at the goalkeeper.

Jocelyn Gorvanek’s team, in more danger than ever as they went on a four-match losing streak in L1, confirms their major difficulties at the moment. And, like Clermont last week (1-2), she was not helped by the referee: against the Auvergneats, two potential penalties were not whistled in her favor. Mr. Bouquet did not award a penalty even though Maxime Houtbois touched Mathis Abline’s leg with his hand in the area (57th).

Three minutes later, Malik Choconte took a cross from Thibaut Vargas at the far post in one of Mayeni’s rare forays into the Canaries camp to ice the already cold stadium. Then multiple changes made by the FCN coach could not support the defense of the current 4th in Ligue 2, leaving Nantes with the quest to retain its only perspective…. RD

Brest gets scared at Trelissac (N2) but passes (2-1).

Of course, Stade Brestois appeared with seven starters on the bench and on a pitch that did not facilitate quick transmission, what’s more in the bitter cold. But that by no means excuses the mediocre performance of the starting eleven. Another explanation is the quality of play offered by Trelissac, although there are three sections below. The N2 players also showed glimpses of prowess, which would not have been out of place, when Benoit Bisson opened the scoring with a magnificent volley from a corner by Jeremy Grain, who had just entered the field (75th). However, the Finisterians fielded a few senior players and Kenny Lala quickly equalized from the penalty spot, after a foul by Landry Nakulu, which he took himself on the right (79th).

And, as we headed into the penalty shootout, captain Pierre Lis-Melou’s men snatched victory and therefore qualification, following Romain del Castillo’s cross, picked up by Jeremy Le Douron and scored by Satriano, who produced a brilliant trick. . Thomas Naveaux (89th). So, the dream ends, for Perigordins, who OM (0 -2) in the 8th. But what they have this Saturday is already pretty cool. FLD

Le Puy (N2) well overcome Dunkirk (L2, 2-1)

Certainly, with essentially opposite dynamics between 2nd in Group A of the National 2 and 19th in Ligue 2, there wasn’t quite a two-level difference. This in no way diminishes the remarkable performance of Puy, who eliminated Dunkirk (2-1) quite logically, at its Charles-Massot stadium. Surreal – Unlike the northerners, who missed the first chance of the match, Baghdadi came up against Carvalho’s (second) surprising reflection – Ponotes converted their two main chances of the first period. And this was met by striker Isiaka Karamoko, author of a recovery from the right on a perfect cross from Eva (14th), then another by Adinani on a penalty from the left (32nd).

At the restart the glimmer of Dunkirk rebellion was not extinguished by the red card suffered by Maurer, for a violent foul on Meyer who was on the run (61st). Because Gayton Court reduced the score with a right shot on a poor opponent’s return (in 77). But it is the occupants of the N2 who will compete in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, while the L2 can be fully devoted to its own maintenance operations. L. Yes.
