PARIS, France, Jan 12, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Ligue 1 leaders Lens ploughed to a 3-0 victory at third-tier Sochaux in a snow-delayed round of 32 French Cup match on Sunday, while Real Madrid loanee Endrick scored his first goal for Lyon as he netted the winner against Lille. In a match postponed from Saturday evening by a blizzard, Lens, who have never won the French Cup, rested only veteran midfielder Florian Thauvin against opponents who have won the competition twice. In the north of France, Brazilian 19-year-old Endrick tucked home a tidy poacher's finish to hand Lyon a 2-1 win at Lille on his debut. Elsewhere, struggling Nice beat fellow Ligue 1 side Nantes 5-3 on penalties after their tie finished one-apiece. Le Mans advanced with a 4-1 shoot-out victory following their stalemate with Nancy.
