Rodez surprises Auxerre; Lyon took a breather and stayed in the fight

Date:

Auxerre, who have problems staying in Ligue 1, ended their quest in the French Cup after losing to Rodez (2-3), a Second Division team that gave a surprise on a day where they continued to live three ‘first ‘ (Toulouse, Lyon and Nantes) and two more ‘seconds’ (Annecy and Grenoble).

These are bad times for Auxerre, struggling in the League and now humiliated in the Cup by an inferior team. Rodez went wild in the second half and managed to spark the competition. Goals by Killian Corredor and Park Jung-Bin from the penalty spot (1-2 and 1-3, respectively), ended up bringing out the colors of a misguided team that closed the gap late, in the 91 minutes, which is a bit insufficient from the Brazilian Jubal.

One of the matches of the day, courtesy of Marseille-PSG, will almost end the season for Olympique Lyon. With nothing to do in Ligue 1 and eight points from the European positions, the Cup is their only salvation to sweeten the course that will not be forgotten in the ranks of the team led by Laurent Blanc.

In front of him he had a very tough rival. Lille sold their defeat dearly and fought until the end to win. They recovered from two opening goals from Mathis Cherki and Alexander Lacazette, equalized through Jonathan David and Edon Zhergova and eventually lost on penalties. The failures of Mohamed Bayo and Timothy Weah gave Olympique Lyon a breather.

At the Stade Jean-Bouin, Angers, bottom of Ligue 1, missed out on the quarter-finals when they had their fingers crossed. Nantes grabbed a 1-0 lead thanks to Abdallah Sima’s early strike. This one ended in nothing due to Florent Mollet’s tie on the end. Then, penalties overturned the verdict and mistakes by Amine Salama and Faouzi Ghoulam sealed Angers’ fate.

In another Ligue 1 match, Reims were absolutely helpless in their visit to Toulouse. Two of the teams from the central zone of the table meet in a clash that, a priori, looks like it will be very equal. However, this did not happen.

Toulouse, with a solid 3-1 lead, crushed their rivals and half an hour later they were on track for a tie thanks to an own goal from goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf and another from Zakaria Abouhlal, who took advantage of a through ball to dribble. past Diouf and mark an empty goal.

Although Reims tried to react in the second half, Toulouse shut down any attempts at a possible comeback in the third of the afternoon, Fares Chaibi’s feat after finishing a Branco van den Boomen cross with a header. 3-0 was almost certain and despite the fact that Reims closed the gap through Jens Cajuste, they brought out the white flag and Toulouse were in the quarterfinals.

Annecy is another Ligue 2 representative in the next round. It ends with the adventure of Paris FC, a classic (it is a split from Paris Saint-Germain) that fights to show its head. In favor of his fans at the Stade Charléty (in the 13th arrondissement of the French capital), he took a huge jug of cold water. After the clash was tied at the buzzer (1-1) on a hit from Khalid Boutaib, penalties settled the verdict and after 16 shots, Annecy hit the jackpot.

And the only survivor of the National 2 (fourth category), fought without a prize in a Ligue 2 club like Grenoble, who got oil from a complicated game thanks to a goal from Loic Nestor in the early stages of the second half with one. who signed his pass for the quarterfinals.
