PSG Dominates in Coupe de France Round of 32
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has successfully advanced to the Round of 16 in the 2025-2026 Coupe de France, following a decisive 4-0 victory against fifth-tier club Vendée Fontenay Foot. The match, held on Saturday, December 20, 2025, at the Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes, saw the Parisian giants assert their dominance over their lower-league opponents.
Match Highlights and Goal Scorers
The scoring began in the 25th minute when Désiré Doué found the back of the net, opening PSG's account. Shortly after, Ousmane Dembélé converted a penalty in the 34th minute, extending PSG's lead. The second half saw further goals from Gonçalo Ramos, who scored a brace in the 53rd and 58th minutes, solidifying the 4-0 scoreline. PSG's performance ensured a professional and efficient progression in the knockout tournament.
Vendée Fontenay's Challenge
Vendée Fontenay Foot, a club founded in 1991 and currently competing in the Championnat National 3 (the fifth tier of French football), faced a significant challenge against the reigning French champions. Despite the considerable difference in league standing, the Coupe de France format often provides opportunities for lower-ranked teams. In line with competition rules, the match was hosted at a neutral, larger venue, the Stade de la Beaujoire, rather than Vendée Fontenay's home ground.
PSG's Continued Campaign
Under the guidance of coach Luis Enrique, Paris Saint-Germain showcased a strong performance, effectively managing the game and securing their place in the next round. This victory marks an important step in their pursuit of the Coupe de France title, a competition they have historically dominated. The team will now prepare for the Round of 16 as they continue their quest for domestic silverware.

Winning 4-0 is a solid result for PSG, ensuring they progress without any scares. Yet, the vast difference in resources and talent means the actual competitive value of the game was quite low.

PSG did what they had to do and secured the win professionally. However, it's hard to judge their true form against such a significantly weaker opponent.

Great professional performance, exactly what you want from a cup tie.

Credit to PSG for a professional display and securing their spot in the next round. On the other hand, for Vendée Fontenay, playing at a neutral stadium against giants like PSG is an experience in itself, even with the heavy loss.
