PARIS (Reuters) - Toulouse reached the French Cup final when Fares Chaibi's late goal earned them a 2-1 victory at Annecy, ending the Ligue 2 side's odds-defying run in the competition on Thursday.

Chaibi struck with five minutes left after Alexy Bosetti's penalty had cancelled out Zakaria Aboukhlal's opener for Toulouse, sending the Ligue 1 team into their maiden French Cup finals after five failed attempts in previous semi-finals.
