Valenciennes 2-1 Lille

Valenciennes have reached the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France with a 2-1 victory over high-flying Lille.

After a goalless first half, Matthieu Dossevi was on hand to give the hosts the lead with just over 20 minutes to play.

Their lead was doubled four minutes later when Vincent Aboubakar's strike found the net.

Lille made sure it was a nervy finish for Valenciennes when Nolan Roux headed in from a corner with two minutes left, but the hosts held on for the win.
