Evian avoided a Coupe de France upset as Gianni
Bruno grabbed the only goal of the game to beat
Consolat 1-0 in the seventh round.
Gianni Bruno netted his fifth goal of the season as Evian reached
the eighth round of the Coupe de France with a 1-0 away win
over Consolat.
With France in mourning following terror attacks in Paris on
Friday seven of Saturday's ties were postponed, but the
majority went ahead as planned.
Evian, who were relegated from Ligue 1 last season, faced the
potential to suffer an upset against Consolat, but former Lille
and Lorient striker Bruno headed home the only goal from a
superb centre by Zakariya Barouai, while the minnows were
reduced to 10 late on as David Gigliotti was sent off.
Fellow Ligue 2 side Nancy also progressed from the seventh
round as they beat Dinsheim 4-2, Yann Mabella netting twice in
the second half to seal the promotion hopefuls' victory.
Things were not so comfortable for Le Havre, though, as they
were dumped out of the competition by Saint-Omer, the
minnows scoring twice in the first half on their way to a 2-0
triumph.
A total of 45 matches took place on Saturday with plenty of
goals on offer; nine of them came as Dijon thrashed Veyle
Saone 9-0, while Orleans cruised past Sauveur 7-0.
