The last round of the French Cup, which also included the teams of the senior league, continued today (Wednesday) with most of the games of the round. Of those that have already ended, Monaco and Marseille have qualified with victories over sub-league rivals, while Bordeaux have been relegated by Toulouse.
Bordeaux – Toulouse 2: 0
The team from the top of the second league in the country, which is considered the most prominent candidate to return to the first league, ousted the team of Jean-Louis Gast. Goals from Wakon Bayou (39) and Janis Antista (57) did the job. This is the fourth consecutive loss in all of Bordeaux’s frames.
Auxerre – Marseille 2: 0
Unlike Bordeaux, Marseille actually managed to oust the rival from the top of the second division. It was Dario Benedetto who took the lead with a goal in the 54th minute, Amado Diang doubled in extra time. After a streak of no less than seven games without a win in all competitions and a particularly bad period that included the departure of coach Andre Villas-Boas, the Blues can smile a little.
Grenoble – Monaco 1: 0
Here, too, the senior league team defeated the uneasy rival from League 2 by one goal. Unlike Marseille, Monaco came into the match after an excellent streak of seven victories, and they continued it in the Cup as well. Steven Jovtic scored the only goal of the game in the 36th minute.
It’s over in Grenoble!
