The wrapped strike of the Sochaux striker offered a Ligue 2 play-off final to the Cubs on Friday in Auxerre.
The winner of this match will face the 18th of L1, Metz or Saint-Étienne (even Bordeaux on a miracle).
The PFC, beaten for the third time in the pre-dam in the last four editions, can blame themselves.
After a hot start, and a goal from Mahamé Siby (8th), Thierry Laurey's team was scuttled.
She first missed two penalties in twelve minutes, both shot from the left of Adballah Ndour's cage, by Moustapha Name (2nd) then Migouel Alfarela (14th).
It was only the beginning of the misfortunes of the Senegalese striker.
Warned for a foul on Tony Mauricio (27th), he saw red for a tackle on Gaëtan Weissbeck, the Sochaux captain.
And shortly after his exclusion, the Cubs who had almost never been dangerous equalized through their Bissau-Guinean striker, Steve Ambri (45th + 1).
To add to the club's misfortunes at the Eiffel Tower, Gory had to leave injured in the 18th minute, replaced by Julien Lopez, the older brother of Maxime, the former Marseille player.
Gory had managed the decisive pass for the volley of Siby, which blew up a Charléty stadium for once well filled with around 12,000 people.
Sochaux, relegated in 2014, hardly existed in the first period, before the exclusion of its Senegalese African champion.
The PFC, which has not known the first division since 1979, will try its luck again next year.
Omar Daf's Sochaux can still dream of returning to Ligue 1.
