On Tuesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain secured their place in the final of the Coupe de France 2024-2025 on May 24 with a 2-4 victory over Dunkerque. Next up was the other semi-final tonight between AS Cannes (National 2) and Reims (15th in Ligue 1). In the end, it was Stade de Reims who joined PSG.
In a match generally dominated by the N2 minnows, the current 15th-placed team in L1 came away with a 1-2 win, somewhat against the run of play.
It was the southerners who led assault after assault, only to come up against a very good Yehvann Diouf (SDR goalkeeper) who put the Cannois forwards to the sword.
The Rémois waited patiently and kept a low block, but shortly after the AS Cannes equalizer, they scored the winning goal, before stalling and putting the bus away.
