Reims
Strasbourg secured their passage to the next round of the Coupe de France with a dramatic late victory over Reims, though they had to survive a nervy finish. The match remained goalless for over 80 minutes before exploding into life with two Strasbourg penalties in the space of four minutes. Joaquín Panichelli broke the deadlock from the spot after John Patrick's handball, before Julio Enciso doubled the advantage with another penalty following Alexandre Olliero's foul on David Datro Fofana. Just when it seemed Strasbourg had the tie sewn up, Patrick Zabi's last-gasp strike in the 90th minute set up a frantic finale, though Reims couldn't find an equalizer to force extra time.
