St Etienne booked their place in the last 16 of the Coupe de France on Thursday night with a dramatic extra-time win over Ligue 2 Ajaccio.

Substitute Benjamin Corgnet struck the winner in the last minute of the added period when he volleyed home from a Nolan Roux header in a crowded box.

Jean-Christophe Bahebeck had put the hosts in front in the 10th minute but Rayan Frikeche forced the extra period with an 86th minute equaliser.
