Evian-Thonon-Gaillard secured a historic qualification for the final of the Coupe de France, winning 4-0 against FC Lorient. This marked the first time the Haut-Savoyards reached the final, while FC Lorient faced their third consecutive semi-final defeat. The Breton club was eliminated in previous years from the Coupe de la Ligue by Bordeaux (2010) and Lyon (2012). Kevin Monnet-Paquet, the Franco-Rwandan forward for Lorient, expressed disappointment, stating that the team was unable to respond effectively during the semi-final.
