Overview
- Simon Cara scored in the 88th minute to seal a 2-1 win for Istres.
- Badu put Istres ahead in the 57th minute, Allinges had Maulet sent off in the 78th, and the hosts equalised in the 83rd.
- The match was moved to Thonon-les-Bains because Allinges’ Stade Chavanne is not approved for a 7th-round fixture.
- Allinges, a Départemental 1 side from a town of about 5,000, played at this stage for the first time against National 2 opposition.
- Istres continue a narrow cup run after two previous shootout qualifications and will meet AC Seyssinet, who eliminated Aubagne-Air Bel, next.
