Lille and Rennes face off in the Coupe de France semi-finals on Sunday with both teams looking to make their way through to the final for the first time since 2016.

Lille defeated Marseille 4-1 on Saturday night to advance to the quarter-finals, while Rennes were unable to recover from a 1-1 draw against Lens at the Stade Louis II.

In front of a crowd of over 15,000, Lille took the lead early in the second half as Jonathan David headed home his first goal of the season after just five minutes.

Rennes responded well in the second half but could not find a solution to Jonathan David's powerful strike.

The score remained level until the 88th minute when Rennes were denied by a penalty from Jérôme Koffi.

David then sealed victory for Lille with a powerful finish from close range, sending the French champions into the final for the first time since 2016.

Jonathan David's performance was a highlight of the evening as he scored twice and made crucial saves throughout the match.

It is clear that this is a turning point for Lille and they will be hoping to continue their strong form in Europe this season.

However, it remains to be seen whether Rennes can bounce back and replicate their success last year.

As we await the results of the match, fans will be eagerly awaiting to see how the game unfolds.
