Copa de Francia Quarterfinals Results
With an unusual lineup, in which only Argentine Mauro Icardi was a starter from the usual players, PSG had no problems beating Pau, from the third category (National), at the Stade du Hameau.
Paredes opened the scoring in the 25th minute by resolving a local defensive mistake inside the penalty area, and Sarabia sealed the deal in the 53rd minute by heading in a cross from the right side by Icardi, which Cameroonian Maxim Choupo-Moting couldn't reach on the near post in the first attempt.
The surprise came from Epinal, a team from the fourth division (National 2), who defeated Lille, the seventh-place team in Ligue-1.
Lille took the lead in the 8th minute with a goal from Loïc Rémy, but Epinal reacted in the second half and turned the score around at the Colombière thanks to a brace from their hero, Ivorian Jean-Philippe Krasso.
Epinal is the second National 2 team to reach the quarterfinals of the Coupe de France. El Belfort, the conqueror of Montpellier, achieved it on Tuesday.
