Before the last match of these round of 16 of the Coupe de France which will take place on Monday evening between PSG and Pays de Cassel, two Ligue 1 clubs are playing their survival in the competition. Breststruggling in the league, faces a Lens team in great shape and still runner-up to PSG in Ligue 1. The Sang et Or are therefore favorites but the Brestois will do everything to create a surprise.
In confidence, Lens succeeds in his departure
In his Francis-Le Blé stadium, Brest got off to a bad start. After only six minutes of play, Saïd opened the scoring with a heel by extending a shot from Le Cardinal (0-1, 6th). The Bretons react in stride but hit the bar of Leca (11th). A first alert on the Lensois goal followed by another. This time, Slimani places a perfect header on a good cross from Honorat (1-1, 19th). Annoyed, the Sang et Or draw twice before halftime. Medina is ahead of the exit of Blazquez and restores the advantage to Lens with a header (1-2, 30th). Just ten minutes later, it was Thomasson who used his skull to shake the nets (1-3, 38′). The Lensois, dominating, therefore take the break before the break.
Lens quietly manages and qualifies
In the second half, the game was still lively but the goals were fewer. Lens, however, has the opportunity to worsen the mark several times, without concretizing. The end of the match is under the sign of management on the side of the Blood and Gold, against a powerless Breton team.
Confident and efficient in the area, especially in the first half, Lens passed the Brest obstacle without incident. The Sang et Or continue their way in this Coupe de France and will know their future opponent on Monday evening. Indeed, the draw for the 8th finals will take place at 7 p.m., before the last 16th between Pays de Cassel and the PSG. For its part, Stade Brestois is eliminated. The Bretons will be able to concentrate 100% on Ligue 1, with the aim of maintaining themselves.
