Holders Paris Saint-Germain will take on fourth-tier underdogs Stade Briochin in the French Cup quarter-finals after the amateur side pulled off a stunning upset against Ligue 1 club Nice.
PSG, unbeaten in their last 27 domestic matches, are chasing a record-extending 16th French Cup title. Meanwhile, Stade Briochin are enjoying a dream run, having already knocked out top-flight Le Havre and second-division Annecy before shocking Nice with two late goals in a dramatic 2-1 victory on Wednesday.
Elsewhere, Brest—who face PSG in the Champions League knockout phase play-offs this month—were drawn against Ligue 2 side Dunkerque, avoiding an early Cup clash with Luis Enrique’s team.
Fourth-tier Cannes will host second-tier Guingamp, while Angers await the winners of the fifth-division Bourgoin-Jallieu vs. Reims tie. Bourgoin-Jallieu previously made headlines by eliminating Lyon in the last 32.
