the Bastiais push to come back to the score … Follow the last quarter-final of the Coupe de France

Fate seems to have spared Antoine Kombouaré and his players. Nantes, tenth in Ligue 1, welcomes Bastia, seventeenth in Ligue 2, Thursday February 10 (9 p.m.) at La Beaujoire. But the Corsicans would see themselves playing spoilsport in the Loire region. Régis Brouard’s players eliminated Clermont and Reims, two residents of the elite, in quick succession. In difficulty in the Championship, the Bastiais want to dream of an epic in the Cup to restore joy to their supporters.

Their adventure in this competition could have ended much earlier. Facing Les Herbiers (N2) in the eighth round, the Corsicans won on penalties. Nantes also experienced this outcome for their entry into the running in the round of 32 against Sochaux. The Canaries then easily defeated Vitré (2-0) and Brest (2-0) to reach these quarters. Ludovic Blas’ teammates hope to find the last four, three years after an elimination at this stage against PSG.
