French Cup Fever PSG, Brest, and Dunkerque Advance to Quarterfinals

As the French Cup enters its knockout phase, three teams from different leagues have made their mark on the competition by advancing to the quarterfinals. Paris Saint-Germain, the Ligue 1 leaders, comfortably defeated Le Mans 2-0, while Brest and Dunkerque pulled off surprise wins over Troyes and Lille respectively.

PSG's Dominant Performance

Despite fielding a weakened team with an eye on their busy February schedule, defending champions PSG still managed to dominate Le Mans. Desire Doue opened the scoring in the 25th minute after some poor defending by the visitors, before Bradley Barcola sealed the win with a goal in the 71st minute. The return of Presnel Kimpembe from injury was a welcome boost for Luis Enrique's side.

Coach Luis Enrique praised his team's maturity and resources, highlighting Gonçalo Ramos' impressive performance and Bradley Barcola's flow. He emphasized the importance of giving confidence to all players, but also acknowledged that minutes on the pitch are not given away lightly. We want to win all competitions, he said. I really like this team.

Dunkerque Stuns Lille

Ligue 1 side Lille dominated much of their match against Dunkerque, fourth in Ligue 2, but were left stunned by a penalty shootout defeat. Portuguese midfielder Andre Gomes had put Lille ahead after 85 minutes, only for Dutch striker Kay Tejan to equalize in the 96th minute and force a penalty shootout.

Dunkerque goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen was the hero of the day, making an enormous performance to ensure a 5-4 penalty win. The victory sent Dunkerque through to the quarterfinals, where they will face PSG once again.

Brest's Last-Gasp Winner

In another thrilling match, Brest earned a last-gasp winner against Troyes. Ibrahim Salah had opened the scoring for Brest after 49 minutes, only for Hugo Magnetti to bundle into his own net six minutes later and throw Troyes a lifeline.

But Abdallah Sima sealed victory for Eric Roy's men in added time with a perfectly taken free kick from the outside of his foot. The win sent Brest through to the quarterfinals, where they will face PSG once again – this time in the Champions League round of 16 play-off.

Looking Ahead

The French Cup has produced some thrilling matches so far, and these three teams have shown that even those not expected to progress can make a significant impact. As we look ahead to the quarterfinals, one thing is certain the competition will only get more intense, with the top clubs fighting for glory. Will PSG continue their dominance, or will Brest and Dunkerque pull off another upset? The French Cup has many twists and turns in store yet.
