Toulouse go through as Guingamp stun Le Mans

Toulouse booked their place in the quarter-finals of the French Cup, while Le Mans were shocked 1-0 by Guingamp. Le Mans, unbeaten in their last three Ligue 1 games, were unable to maintain their good form against Guingamp of the second tier. The deadlock was not broken until Bakari Kone netted the decisive goal for Guingamp seven minutes from time. Grenoble were also given a scare by a Ligue 2 side but, unlike Le Mans, they managed to come through their test. Grenoble drew 1-1 with Dijon as Nassim Akrour cancelled out Stephane Morisot's opener, but they triumphed 5-3 on penalties to advance to the last eight. Toulouse had a more comfortable evening as they beat Boulogne-sur-Mer 2-0 thanks to a brace from Xavier Pentecote (42 and 63 minutes).
