The French Cup action continued on Wednesday, February 12, 2020, with PSG visiting Dijon at the Stade Gaston Gerard. Despite some impressive saves from Dijon's Runar Runarsson, PSG's offensive pressure ensured that Dijon's defenders were constantly pushed back, leaving their goalkeeper exposed.
PSG took an early lead thanks to an own goal by Dijon's Wesley Lautoa. The home side fought back immediately, as Mounir Chouiar scored a stunning goal from distance. The score shifted again when Senou Coulibaly managed to score for the Parisian side, further cementing PSG's control over the game.
The match ended in a convincing 6-1 win for PSG. Beyond the early lead, the victory was fueled by goals from Kylian Mbappe and Thiago Silva. Pablo Sarabia played a key role as well, netting twice—once at the beginning of the second half and again in the final moments of the game at Stade Gaston Gerard.
That same day, February 12, Olympique Lyonnais (led by Jason Denayer) faced off against Marseille (captained by Dimitri Payet) at the Groupama Stadium. Marseille started with high energy, but Dimitri Payet narrowly missed a goal. Another attempt by Payet was intercepted by Lyon, leading to a counter-attack by Kevin Strootman, though his effort was safely gathered by Lyon's keeper, Anthony Lopez.
The match became a battle of attrition as both sides struggled to find a clinical finish. Marseille's efforts often went astray, including a pass from Valentin Rongier that sailed into the stands. Even when Lyon earned a free-kick following a foul by Marseille, Strootman's attempt lacked precision and ended up in the crowd.
For much of the game, Lyon's attacks were neutralized by Marseille's disciplined defense, though Marseille similarly struggled to score. In a tense finish, Houssem Aouar finally broke the deadlock with a volley in the dying minutes. With this win and PSG's victory, both teams have officially progressed to the French Cup semi-finals.
