Coupe de France, round of 16 – Brest leaves Bordeaux (3-0), Nantes, Toulouse and Versailles in the 8th

Brest – Bordeaux: 3-0

The Girondins presented themselves in Brest with a workforce decimated by the Covid-19, 21 professional players being unavailable. Unsurprisingly, the Bretons were in control of the game against a rejuvenated, albeit combative, team. Michel Der Zakarian’s men did not show exacerbated domination, but they managed to open the scoring in the first period, thanks to a penalty obtained by Romain Faivre and transformed by Steve Mounié (36th).

David Rouyard, the Bordeaux goalkeeper, went on parades, without his teammates managing to equalize. A second penalty, scored this time by Romain Faivre himself (81st) with a subtle panenka, definitively sealed the outcome of the match, before a last goal from Jérémy Le Douaron in added time (90 + 4th).

Vitré – Nantes: 0-2

The Vitréens, who were traveling to La Beaujoire this Sunday, did not hide. Applied ball exits, high pressing, offensive intentions… An interesting performance, but insufficient against Nantes, who did the job. The Canaries have found the fault twice, on two services from the right side Fabio.

The first time, Ludovic Blas, found in the area, deceived Leroux with a slightly soft shot (25th). The second, William Geubbels had only to push the leather to the bottom of the nets (67th). His first goal with the Nantes jersey, which validates a serious performance from his family, qualified in the round of 16.

Cannes – Toulouse: 0-1

Fallen from Dijon in the previous round, AS Cannes did not do poorly against Téfécé, current second in Ligue 2. But it was the Violets who got their ticket, thanks to the only goal of Rafael Ratão, forgotten at the far post (52nd). From his cages, Florian Verplanck kept his team alive, without it managing to equalize.

Versailles 78 – La Roche Vendée: 4-0

Suspense never existed in Versailles. The locals (N2) enforced the hierarchy against La Roche VF (N3) with great success (4-0). All four goals were scored in the first period. They join the knockout stages for the first time in their history.
