Strasbourg beats Reims 2-1 to advance in the French Cup

Strasbourg advanced to the semifinals of the French Cup with a 2-1 win over Reims on Tuesday. In an eventful finish at Stade de la Meinau, Strasbourg converted two penalties in the space of four minutes and then conceded in stoppage time as Reims fought back. Joaquin Panichelli's spot kick broke the deadlock in the 83rd and when David Datro Fofana was brought down in the box moments later, Strasbourg was awarded a second penalty.
