Yesterday and today the matches of the French Cup round of 16 were played.
In this stage, the strongest "Ligue 1" clubs did not face any difficulties, and almost all favorites defeated representatives from lower divisions.
However, it is worth noting the failure of "Toulouse" footballers against the "Bourg-Peronnas" team from "Ligue 2" and the 4-3 loss of "Nantes" against "Auxerre".
The latter match was indeed interesting, as Claudio Ranieri's players managed to erase a three-goal deficit, but then Lima received a red card and their opponents extended the lead to 4-3 with Ibrahim Sangare scoring in the 76th minute.
"Marseille", on the other hand, defeated the fourth division representative "Epinal" 2-0 on the road, while "Paris Saint-Germain" forced "Guingamp" to surrender 4-2.
One of the most intense battles was expected in the last match of the evening between "Monaco" and "Lyon", who are competing for medals in the country's championship.
Indeed, this match delighted the fans with goals, with the first one coming in the 13th minute thanks to Stevan Jovetic. Bruno Genesio's players quickly equalized through Bertrand Traore, and Djibril Sidibe scored an own goal shortly before halftime.
"Lyon" increased their lead after the break, with Mariano Diaz scoring, but the "Monaco" team did not give up and had a chance to equalize through Rony Lopes. However, the opponents celebrated victory with a 3-2 result.
