Elite clubs continue to do well in the Coupe de France. Like the other Ligue 1 teams, ASSE and Monaco have lived up to expectations by winning their respective matches against Jura Sud and Monaco. Reims also validated his ticket, although having struggled more against Thaon.
Monaco well recovered from the departure of Kovac
ASM was in its first game after Kovac was sacked. Under the eyes of its future trainer, Philippe Clément, the princely formation had no difficulty in imposing its law. Kevin Volland and Wissam Ben Yedder have shown their sense of goal. The German striker scored twice, while the France international hit the mark on a penalty.
Having had a hard time in the league, ASSE therefore changed their minds by winning their Cup meeting. Against a formation of N2, the men of Pascal Dupraz folded the debates rather quickly. After a quarter of an hour, the break was over and qualifying was in the bag. Nade and Nordin were the two directors of the Greens. Towards the end, Jura Sud reduced the mark, but it was no good if it wasn’t to save the honor. Qualified for the 8th, Saint-Etienne can hope to save its season by signing a good course in this competition.
Not to miss
Reims was hot
Opposed to ES Thaon, Stade de Reims feared going off the road when they found themselves outnumbered. Ekitike took a red, just six minutes after coming into play. Finally, this expulsion was of no consequence for the Champenois. Credit goes to Hornby Fraser. The England forward delivered his own at the end of added time, having only been on the pitch for a few seconds.
Finally, among the matches that started at 6.30 p.m., Amiens crossed swords with the modest Linas-Montlhéry team. The Picards were pushed to their limits, but they ended up having the last word. They won on penalties after dropping 3-3 at the end of extra time.
