After two complicated offensive matches, OL regained its superb French Cup on Saturday at Parc OL.
Despite a largely reworked team, especially in front, with the establishment of the Cornet-Slimani-Cherki trio, Rudi Garcia's men rolled over valiant Sochaliens who believed in it for a while by coming back to 3-2 in the second half.

But there was too much difference between the two teams for Lyon to really suffer to keep a score like in Brest, not so long ago.
Well in legs, Cherki put in suspense in the last quarter of an hour by offering himself a double for one of his rare starts this season.
OL are the first big customers to qualify for the eighth before the matches in Paris or Lille.
