Amateurs Trelissac upset Lille in Coupe de France

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.
