PARIS, March 19 (Reuters) - Fifth division Carquefou caused a French Cup sensation by knocking out 10-times winners Olympique Marseille with a 1-0 win on Wednesday to reach the quarter-finals.

The amateurs from a small western town near Nantes moved in front after seven minutes through Senegalese midfielder Papa Idrissa N'Doye.

Former European champions Marseille, lying fourth in Ligue 1, never recovered.

Playing before a 35,000 crowd in Nantes, Carquefou fought bravely and resisted under sustained but clumsy pressure from their prestigious opponents until the final whistle.

The amateurs, who had eliminated Ligue 1 frontrunners Nancy in the previous round, then embarked on a lap of honour to a standing ovation.

"What's happening to us is just extraordinary," Carquefou captain Sebastien Le Paih told Eurosport.

"We had dreamed about it but doing it is something else. I'm proud of my team, proud of my mates. Marseille have a better team but we gave it our guts, our hearts, everything."
