Lyon, France (AP) - SM Caen scored three first half goals, then held on, to pull off a third round upset over Olympique Lyonnais 3-2 in the 2018-19 Coupe de LIgue at Stade de Gerland on Tuesday evening. Lindsay Rose's own goal just before halftime, proved to be the match winner for Caen as they advanced to the Quarterfinals.

Jacsson Antonio Domingues Piazon got Caen off on the right foot, scoring just four minutes in. He dribbled to the top of the box, then hit a left footed shot in off of the left post to put Caen up 1-nil. Piazon almost made it 2-nil in the 33rd minute, as he took a long pass from Jonathan Beaulieu, but he knocked one off the far right post.

Jordan Leborgne dribbled into the box, just before halftime, and passed it to an unmarked Herve Bazile at the top of the six yard box. He one-timed it past Francois Musiera and into the top of the net to make it 2-nil. Just moments later, Jeff Louis dribbled into the box and tried to pass it across the front of thr goal, but defender Lindsay Rose stuck a foot out and knocked it into his own net to make it 3-nil.

The good feelings that SM Caen had at halftime evaporated quickly after the break. A turnover in their own penalty area led to Olympique Lyonnais' first goal as Corentin Tolesco cracked a left footed shot into the top right corner past a diving Wuilker Farinez in the 53rd minute. Just foru minutes later, Rafael intercepted a pass and sent in a cross that Mathieu Valbuena headed home to make it 3-2.

Lyon's Louis Nganioni would put a halt to the comeback hopes as he was sent off on the 63rd minute for a harsh tackle on Jonathan Beaulieu. SM Caen would pack it in defensively, allowing just one more good scoring chance as Nabil Fekir headed one just over the bar in stoppage time.

The win sends Caen into the Quarterfinals for just the fourth time in their history. They previously advanced to the quarterfinals in 1992, 1996, and 1998.

Up next, Caen will host FC Metz on Sunday in the final match of the first half of the Ligue 1 campaign before the winter break.

Yeah, the referees in France seem to be much less tolerant than they were in Germany.

12/23/18
Caen, Normandie (AP) - Emmanuel Mayuka scored in the dying moments on Sunday afternoon to help FC Metz stun SM Caen 3-2 at Stade Michel d'Ornano to end the first half of the Ligue 1 season. The game winner came after SM Caen had leveled the match in stoppage time on a Kenny Vermeer strike.

Nuno Reis put the visitors on the board in the 29th minute, heading home a corner. FC Metz had dominated the match to that point, outshooting Caen 7-0, and very deserving of the lead.

Caen would level the match seven minutes later when Jacsson Antonio Domingues Piazon worked a perfect give-and-go with Luigi Veldmate, then struck it into the lower right corner on Caen's first shot of the match.

The elation was short-lived though, as Metz retook the lead just three minutes later. Georges Madjeck sent in a long pass to Yeni Ngbakoto. He turned and found a streaking Juan Manuel Falcon, who volleyed it over the head of Paul Reulet to allow Metz to retake the lead.

Caen would press in the second half, but could not find an equalizer. Metz had a great chance to go up 3-1 late as Janis Ikaunieks broke in on a counter attack, but his left footed strike hit the post and stayed out.

Finally, in stoppage time, Kenny Vermeer took a pass from Jacsson Antonio Domingues Piazon, and placed it into the top of the net to level the match at 2-2 and it appeared as though Caen would salvage a point against the Ligue 1 bottom-feeder.

But with Metz appearing to look satisfied with a road point, Emmanuel Mayuka took the ball from his own end, dribbled past a couple of Caen defenders, and then stunned Caen with a right footed rocket past Reulet to give Metz the lead, and full points.

Jonathan Beaulieu came on as a substitute in the closing minutes in what is likely his final match with Caen. He has asked to be transferred in the January window. Defender Jeremt Gelin fell hard on his right shoulder defending a corner and had to leave the match. It was determined that he broke his collarbone and will miss up to two months.

The club will now have off for the holidays and returns to action on January 12th as they host Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain (13-2-4).
