Last year's Coupe de France winner, Parisian club "P.S.G" and the current second-placed team in "Ligue 1", "Lens", experienced setbacks in the quarter-final of the cup on Wednesday and withdrew from further competition. Parisian footballers, trying to recover from a tragic start to the season, met another "Ligue 1" team "Sochaux" in this stage of the cup tournament and lost with a result of 2-1. "Sochaux" took the lead in the 23rd minute when Mickael Isabey defeated the "P.S.G" goalkeeper. Fifteen minutes later, the second goal fell into the Parisians' goal, scored by Moumouni Dagano. After conceding the second goal, the Parisian club had nothing to lose, and in the 74th minute, they scored a goal after David Ngogo's shot, but that was all they managed to do in this match. Meanwhile, the second-placed team in the "Ligue 1" championship, "Lens", met the fourth-ranked French football division team "Montceau" and unexpectedly lost with a minimal result of 1-0. The only goal of the match was scored by Christophe Alidor in the 78th minute from the penalty spot. This victory by "Montceau" somewhat resembles the triumphant journey of the "Calais" team in 2000 when this team, also playing in the fourth French football division, managed to advance to the final of the Coupe de France, where they had to admit their opponent's superiority. In addition to the teams "Sochaux" and "Montceau", the clubs "Nantes" and "Marseille" also advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament after winning on Tuesday. Let's remember that the winner of the Coupe de France earns the right to defend the country's honor in the UEFA Cup tournament next season. Match results: "Montceau" 1 - 0 78` [1 - 0] Christophe Alidor "Sochaux" 2 - 1 23` [1 - 0] Mickael Isabey 38` [2 - 0] Moumouni Dagano 74` [2 - 1] David Ngog
