Stade Rennes beat Nice on penalties in Coupe de France; PSG draw Toulouse

Stade Rennes grabbed the final spot available in the round of 32 of the Coupe de France with a 7-6 victory on penalties over fellow Ligue 1 side Nice on Monday.

The teams were level at 2-2 after extra time and Gelson Fernandes scored the winning penalty.

After Alexandre Mendy gave Nice an early lead, Jeremie Boga equalised with eight minutes left at the end of an impressive team move.

The visitors then took the lead through Benjamin Andre's shot in the top corner in extra time but Nice winger Hatem Ben Arfa put the teams level from the penalty spot.

Rennes will play second-tier side Bourg-en-Bresse in the next round, which will also feature four matches between Ligue 1 clubs, including holders Paris Saint-Germain at home against Toulouse.
