This is the first big surprise of the 2020 edition of the Coupe de France: Hombourg-Haut, resident of the 3rd regional division caused a sensation by beating Auxerre, 13th in Ligue 2 and four times winner of the event (2-1 ), on the eighth lap.
The club's sixth-seeded club, which plays in the equivalent of the eighth division, qualified for the round of 32. It is also during these 32nd finals that the first clubs of Ligue 1 will make their entry in the competition. A potential dream poster for the club of Hombourg-Haut, a town of 6,500 inhabitants located a few kilometers from the German border, facing a team of the elite.
