In a remarkable turn of events in the French Cup, St. Brieuc, representing the fourth division, achieved a stunning victory against top-tier team Nice, winning 2-1 with a dramatic goal in the seventh minute of stoppage time on Wednesday.

St. Brieuc is not alone in its triumph as Cannes, another National 2 team, also secured a spot in the quarterfinals after defeating the third-division squad Dives-Cabourg with a score of 5-3.

The excitement of upsets extended throughout the tournament, as the second-tier team Guingamp managed to overcome Ligue 1’s Toulouse with a solid 2-0 victory.

The surprises in this round of 16 had actually begun a day earlier, when Dunkerque, another team from Ligue 2, knocked out Lille, a side competing in the Champions League, during a dramatic penalty shootout.
