Coupe de France 1973/74

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1973/74 season was the 57th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 1,720 clubs registered.

The defending champion was Olympique Lyon , who was eliminated in the quarter-finals this year. The winner of the trophy was the Association Sportive de Saint-Étienne . This was her fourth cup win (most recently: 1970 ) in the fifth participation in the finals. Since ASSE also won the championship this season , it also won the doublé  - this is the third time in six years. Final opponent Association Sportive de Monaco contested its third final for the Coupe de France; the first two times ( 1960 and 1963 ) had the Monegasque can leave the stadium with the trophy in their luggage.

The mode with home and away legs was not an advantage for lower-class teams. As the last remaining second division in the competition , Paris Saint-Germain was eliminated in the quarterfinals. Already in the sixteenth finals the last stop for the best amateur teams was Olympique Alès , US Baume-les-Dames and FC Tours from the third division and Aviron Bayonne from the fourth division.

After the qualifying rounds organized at regional level by the regional association FFF , the 20 top division clubs also intervened in the competition from the round of the last 64 teams . The pairings were drawn freely for each round; in the thirty-second finals there was only one meeting on a neutral place, also in the semifinals. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, a replay was played; if it was still a draw after overtime, a penalty shoot-out decided the winner. From the sixteenth to the quarter-finals, however, there were home and away games. If there was then a tie between the goals scored - the away goals not counting twice - the second leg was extended; if necessary, the decision had to be brought about by penalty shooting.
