Amateur team Bourgoin-Jallieu have upset five-time winners Lyon in a penalty shootout to reach the French Cup round of 16 before the ecstatic home fans celebrated the sensation with a pitch invasion.
Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso had their efforts saved in the shootout after the match had ended in a 2-2 draw on Wednesday.
"We play football for this," goalkeeper Ronan Jay told broadcaster beIN Sports. "It will stay with us for life, it's unbelievable."
Less than 50 kilometers separate the two cities, but the clubs have little in common. Lyon are one of the most storied clubs in French soccer, having won the league title seven times to add to five Cup titles, while Bourgoin-Jallieu play in the fifth division.
Mehdi Moujetzky scored both goals for Bourgoin-Jallieu, giving his team an early 1-0 lead and levelling the scores at 2-2 in the 69th minute after Georges Mikautadze put Lyon ahead. Nemanja Matic had scored Lyon's opener.
Moujetzky missed his penalty in the shootout but that did not prevent Bourgoin-Jallieu from sealing the historic result.
