Two out of two for the small thumbs of the Coupe de France. After Versailles, qualified against Toulouse on Saturday, another National 2 club (the equivalent of the fourth division) validated its ticket for the quarter-finals.
Bergerac offered Saint-Etienne on Sunday January 30 (1-0) despite the three divisions gap with the Ligue 1 club.
In a closed encounter with few chances, the difference was made in the 76th minute when the incoming Romain Escarpit found the net by throwing himself in the middle of two opponents after an unprofessional dismissal from Mahdi Camara in its own surface. This single blow will have been enough to win the bet.
Instead of a revolt, the red lantern of Ligue 1 seemed amorphous. Bergerac could even have made the break in the 89th minute but Escarpit missed his hook to eliminate Paul Bernardoni.
