For this round of 16 of the Coupe de France in Lorient, Stéphane Gilli, the Paris FC coach, had concocted a starting eleven with many surprises (9 changes compared to the 2-2 against OM on Saturday) and a return to 4-3-3. If the absence of Maxime Lopez (quadriceps) was expected, several usual starters (Otavio, Camara, Kebbal, Simon, etc.) started on the bench alongside Ciro Immobile. Three recruits, Diego Coppola, Marshall Munetsi and Luca Koloesho, were started for the first time.
But with a formation that logically lacked automatisms, we did not see a great Paris FC which lost (2-0). On a cross from Julien Lopez, Willem Geubbels missed his recovery (15th). Lorient took advantage of a poor restart from Diego Coppola to open the scoring through Cadiou (55th) before taking cover on a counter concluded by Soumano who pushed Mbow against his side (2-0, 83rd). In the meantime, Ciro Immobile almost equalized with a violent shot deflected by Kamara (73rd).
