The success of the Marseillais in Thionville (1-0), resident of National 3, will surely not put all Marseille supporters in ecstasy. But the essential is acquired. This Sunday, OM avoided humiliation in the round of 32 of the Coupe de France. The same feeling that arose in the wake of the setback that occurred against Canet-en-Roussillon (2-1), during the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, in 2021. This time, Gennaro Gattuso’s men will see the Round of 16 after a close match. We had to wait more than an hour to see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang deceive the goalkeeper Théo Junker (62nd).
Lyon quiet against Pontarlier, Monaco at the last minute against Lens
On the Lyon side, the suspense lasted less long against Pontarlier (N3). Shortly before the break, Rayan Cherki broke the deadlock (1-0, 45th). The spaces, increasingly wider, then benefited Ainsley Maitland-Niles (2-0, 52nd) and Alexandre Lacazette (3-0, 56th), who guaranteed Les Gones a quiet afternoon in Besançon.
In the Breton derby, Rennes counted on a double from Arnaud Kalimuendo (45th, 57th) to dominate Guingamp (2-0). In Normandy, Le Havre qualified at the expense of Caen (2-1) thanks to goals from Antoine Joujou (16th) and Daler Kouziaïev (43rd), despite the Caen goal from Godson Kyeremeh (26th).
To see the most spectacular match of the early afternoon, you had to go to Bollaert. Opposed to Monaco, Lens was quickly caught cold after goals from Wissam Ben Yedder (1-0, 1st) and Maghnes Akliouche (2-0, 21st). With a powerful strike under the bar, Faitout Maouassa brought new dynamism to the Sang et Or (2-1, 43rd), despite the expulsion of Franck Haise for protest. In difficulty due to several technical errors, Florian Sotoca made up for it on the hour mark by equalizing in a mouse hole (2-2, 63rd). At the end of the match, neither El Aynaoui (86th) nor Ben Yedder (87th) managed to finish.

On penalties, both teams had great difficulty scoring. Brice Samba notably made three saves, but his teammates (Saïd, Fulgini and Medina) were clumsy. Opposite, Monaco was able to count on Polish goalkeeper Radoslaw Majecki to make decisive saves. Last Lens shooter, Adrien Thomasson missed his shot on goal while Soungouto Magassa sent Monaco into the 16th round (2-2, 6-5 on the tabs).
