French Cup: Plabennec record a Nice Cup upset

PARIS: Relegation-threatened Third Division side Plabennec claimed the biggest scalp of the French Cup thus far at when they knocked First Division Nice out in the last 32 at the weekend.

Goals from captain Jean-Michel Abiven and an own goal from defender Gerald Cid saw them come from behind - France international striker Loic Remy having given Nice the lead in the 13th minute - to record a famous if unlikely victory.

Their coach Franck Kerdiles, while delighted to have defeated a First Division team, remained realistic about their real target for the season.
