PARIS — Radamel Falcao lobbed the goalkeeper to seal a 2-0 win for Monaco over Caen in the fourth round of the French League Cup on Tuesday.

Also, Toulouse beat visiting Girondins de Bordeaux 2-0 and Angers defeated Metz 1-0 to progress to the quarterfinals.

PSG, Marseille, and Lyon were among the sides scheduled to play on Wednesday.
