Paris Saint-Germain suffered a major upset as they were eliminated from the Coupe de France by Paris FC, who won 1-0 at the Parc des Princes. This result marks a significant setback for PSG, who have dominated French football in recent years and were considered the clear favorites to win the competition. Paris FC, despite playing away from home, managed to withstand the pressure from the champions and capitalize on the opportunities that came their way. The only goal of the match was scored in the 74th minute by Ikone, who finished brilliantly to find the back of the net. PSG coach Luis Enrique attempted to change the course of the game by bringing on Dembele, Mendes, and Doue in the final half-hour. However, these changes did not bear fruit, and PSG failed to equalize. In the closing stages, Paris FC had the chance to double their lead, but the woodwork denied a shot from Zaire-Emery. In the last play of the game, Doue missed a great opportunity to score, with the ball going narrowly wide. This defeat is a significant blow to Paris Saint-Germain and highlights the unpredictable nature of the Coupe de France.
