Amateurs Trelissac dumped Ligue 1 side Lille out of the Coupe de France by holding their nerve in a tense penalty shoot-out.
The hosts from France's fourth tier emerged 4-2 winners from the shoot-out, with the last-32 tie locked at 1-1 after extra time.
Trelissac belied their place some 70 league spots below Lille in the
French pyramid to secure a place in the last 16 for the first time in
the club's history.
Rony Lopes handed visitors Lille a 1-0 half-time lead, only for Hamidou Keyta to level and take the game into extra time.
Lopes and Yassine Benzia missed Lille's first two spot-kicks, however, allowing Trelissac to pull off a famous victory.
Nicolas Cavaniol failed with Trelissac's first penalty in the
shoot-out, but Steven Papin, Jimmy Burgho, Ange Gnaleko and Nicolas
Desenclos all converted their spot-kicks.
Only Renato Civelli and Djibril Sidibe were on target for Lille in a disappointing night for the clear favourites.
