Incredible Nancy residents! Three expulsions, the disadvantage of playing away, against a team that evolves a division above, but we call that the magic of the Cup. After the expulsions of Nonnenmacher (32nd), Ciss (76th) and Karamoko (90th + 4), AS Nancy, Ligue 2 club, created the feat, Saturday, December 18, by eliminating Troyes, resident of Ligue 1, on penalties in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France.
This is the first real feat of this Coupe de France weekend. The Lorrainers are indeed in last place in Ligue 2 with only 2 wins in 18 games, while the Trojans are 17th in Ligue 1.
The Trojans had however opened the scoring by Domingues on penalty (44th) against Lorraine already reduced to ten. But Benoît Pedretti’s men did not give up, coming back up to the hour mark thanks to Jung (63rd). And in the decisive session, Suk and Larouci missed their shot on goal.
