Paris FC eliminate holders PSG from French Cup

Paris, Jan 13 || Paris FC caused a major upset at the Parc des Princes as they knocked the holders Paris Saint-Germain out of the Coupe de France with 1-0 win in the Round of 32.

Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, PSG never managed to break down the opposing defense, as exemplified by Obed Nkambadio, who made several crucial saves.

Luis Enrique's men were ultimately caught out on a counter-attack finished by Jonathan Ikone, who sealed the victory for his former club in the 74th minute (1-0).

The match got underway at a one-way pace in favour of the title holders PSG, who lacked cutting edge against a particularly compact defence.

Sharp on the counter-attack, Stephane Gilli’s men sent the first shivers through the stands of the Parc des Princes around the quarter-hour mark. It would take more, however, to beat a Lucas Chevalier who is once again imperious on his line, getting down perfectly to deny Alimani Gory’s effort (13'), PSG reports.
