12 Jan
Summary
- Defending champions PSG were eliminated from the Coupe de France.
- Paris FC secured a surprising 1-0 victory against their rivals.

Defending champions Paris St-Germain are no longer in contention for the Coupe de France following a stunning 1-0 loss to Paris FC. The match, held at home for PSG, saw their aspirations for a 17th title dashed by their newly promoted city rivals. Despite controlling large portions of the game, PSG was unable to break through Paris FC's solid defense.
The sole goal of the encounter came from Jonathan Ikone, who executed a perfectly timed run to score against his former club's rivals. Paris FC's goalkeeper, Obed Nkambadio, played a pivotal role in the victory, making several crucial saves, including a notable stop from Vitinha's shot in injury time. This defeat marks PSG's earliest exit from the competition since 2014.
The two sides had recently met earlier this month in their first top-flight derby since 1990, where PSG secured a 2-1 win. However, this Coupe de France fixture proved to be a different story, with Paris FC holding firm to achieve a memorable upset.
