23:40 – Match summary
Two weeks after the first three posters for the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France, Paris Saint-Germain and OGC Nice competed this evening to win the last ticket. For this poster, Luis Enrique decided to make his star permanent Kylian Mbappé alongside Gonçalo Ramos and Ousmane Dembélé on the front of the Parisian attack. From the first minutes, the capital’s players showed motivation and desire, reflected in numerous opportunities rejected by Marcin Bulka or his goalkeepers. A quarter of an hour into the game, the Niçois lost another ball and Kang-In Lee crossed into the Aiglons area. Morgan Sanson pushes back on Mbappé who tries the one-two with Fabian Ruiz. The Parisian captain picks up the point and slips the ball into the back of the net. Enough to launch PSG towards qualification. After half an hour of play, the Parisians did not reduce their efforts and pressed the Niçois. Served in his area, Bulka loses his control and clears but it is countered by Ousmane Dembélé. The winger serves Fabian Ruiz behind who shoots into the almost empty goal to score the second Parisian achievement.
In the last quarter of an hour of the first act, the people of Nice rebelled. Efforts concluded by Gaëtan Laborde. Jérémy Boga overflows into the right lane before hooking Beraldo and Hernandez in the area. The ball comes back to the attack who strikes from the left in a pivot and deceives Gianluigi Donnarumma. Until the break, the Parisians were shaken by the Aiglons. Returning from the locker room, the match is balanced before Lucas Beraldo comes to write a new story in his book with Paris Saint-Germain. Receiving a cross from Vitinha on a three-way corner, the Brazilian scored his first goal with the club by heading the ball past Marcin Bulka and giving PSG some breathing room. The end of the match was marked by the injury of Marcin Bulka whose nose was broken. The goalkeeper nevertheless remained on the pitch, author of several saves at the end of the match. With this victory, Paris Saint-Germain qualifies for the last four of the national competition where Luis Enrique’s players will face Stade Rennais on April 3.
