The last eight contenders are known. Strasbourg won against Monaco (3-1) on Thursday evening at home and will face Reims in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France. The Alsatian club won thanks to a goal from Martial Godo (7th) then a double from Julio Enciso (55th, 61st), despite the reduction in the score from Mika Biereth (58th).
The draw was made ahead of this last round of 16. Both opponents knew that in the event of qualification, they would be pitted against the only Ligue 2 team still competing in the tournament. Enough to boost their determination and hope to see beyond these quarter-finals.
Monaco loses an opportunity
Finally, the Monegasques, in difficulty in the Championship and who risk falling on a bone – Paris Saint-Germain – in the Champions League play-offs, lost an opportunity to shine in another competition this season.
For its part, Strasbourg continues on its way. With the scheduled clash between Olympique Lyonnais and RC Lens in the quarter-finals, the Alsatians can hope to go far.
