Sensation! A Champions League participant defeated by a second league player. Two goals in the end
Brest was a sensation in Ligue 1 last season, and in the autumn and winter they did brilliantly in the Champions League. They were in the last 16 places for a long time, but eventually they were relegated and had to go through the play-offs. In them they found themselves in a fratricidal duel with Paris Saint-Germain and were crushed 0-10 on aggregate.
A week later, the team can focus on one front only. Brest fought for the semi-finals of the French Cup with USL Dunkerque. Everything went according to plan until the 64th minute. First Mathias Pereira Lage scored, then Benjaloud Youssouf scored an own goal. In the 65th minute, former ŁKS Łódź striker Kay Tejan left the pitch and his team started scoring.
Surprise in the French Cup!Vincent Sasso scored the opening goal, and Opy Sangante scored a brace in the 80th and 84th minutes to give the second-division side a sensational promotion. The Dunkirk team had previously eliminated another Champions League team, LOSC Lille, and Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre.
There were no surprises in the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and fourth-tier Stade Briochin. The Parisian giant won 7:0. Despite this, a fourth-tier team will play in the semi-finals, but a different one. AS Cannes defeated Guingamp 3:1 on Tuesday. Stade de Reims completes the group of four clubs fighting for the final.
