It’s the Brittany Cup!



The knockout stages of the French Cup gave birth to two big surprises this Wednesday evening. The qualifications of Saint-Brieuc and Guingamp at the expense of Nice and Toulouse.

After Brest, Troyes Tuesday Tuesday (1-2), Saint-Brieuc and Guingamp obtained their ticket this Wednesday for the quarter-finals of The French Cup ! Three Breton clubs will thus be eight pretenders to the old lady on February 26, with PSG, Angers, Dunkirk and Cannes for sure. Reims and Bourgoin-Jallieu competing for the ultimate sesame on Thursday.

For Stade Briochin, resident of National 2, this is a real feat since the Costarmoricans obtained the scalp of their Nice counterparts (2-1). This at the cost of a stunning scenario while Layche had opened the scoring for the Aiglons at the start of the second period (55e) – sausage having struck twice in the Money Time (88e90e+7) to qualify his own.

The SCO surprises the Meinau

Already executioners of the HAC in 32e From finals, the Briochins are definitely afraid of anything in this French Cup. Like their Guingampais neighbors who at the same time were right for their Toulouse hosts (0-2), thanks to achievements signed Sidibé (52e) and ahile (89e). A new disappointment for the elite in the aftermath of LOSC’s surprise elimination in front of Dunkirk (1-1, 4 TAB at 5).

In the 100% Ligue 1 shock of the evening, Strasbourg-another alleged favorite-also fell, victim of Angers (1-3) with a double of Lepaul (2e15e) and a goal from El Melali (76e) for the SCO, when Lemaréchal alone tried to reply on the Alsatian side (13e). Finally Cannes, representative of National 2 like Saint-Brieuc, has respected the logic against Dives-Cabourg (National 3), winner 5-3 of an eighth of the most spectacular.
