Sensation in France! From the fourth league to the semi-finals
This year's French Cup quarter-finalists included teams such as Dunkerque, Stade Brochin and fourth-tier AS Cannes, which... surprised everyone again!
The hosts were written off against Guingamp, but a great performance by, among others, Cedric Goncalves resulted in the fourth division team defeating second division Guingamp 3-1 (2-0) at home.
In the clash of the top league teams, Stade Reims eliminated Angers away on penalties. After 90 minutes the score was 1:1 (0:0), and in the penalty shootout the guests proved to be better 5-3.
In the other quarter-finals, which will take place on Wednesday, February 26, Stade Brest will host second-tier team Dunkerque, while fourth-tier Stade Briochin will face Paris Saint-Germain. This means that we could witness another sensation.
This year's final is scheduled for May 24. PSG is the defending champion, and Toulouse and Nantes have previously won the competition unexpectedly.
