Bergerac, fourth team, leaves Sant Etienne out (1-0)

The Saint Etienne aggravated its crisis with elimination in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France by Bergerac, from the fourth division, which won 1-0, in the match played at the Francis Rongieras de Perigueux stadium.

The Bergerac will play the quarterfinals against Versalles, also in the fourth category, who eliminated Toulouse on Saturday.

The goal scored in the 76th minute by Romain Escarpit led to the local victory and the elimination of the Saint Etienne, bottom of Ligue 1 and now dropped from the Cup.

The cupbearer goodbye to a lower category rival accentuates the crisis of Saint Etienne. The change of coach that led to the dismissal of Claude Puel and the arrival of Pascal Dupraz a month ago has not improved the outlook for the Greens, installed at the worst sporting moment in recent times.
