Final score 3-1. PSG almost faced extra time until the very end. Almost. In the dying moments of the match, a beautiful team play and a goal by Ramos sealed the qualification.
Before that, PSG led for a little over half of the game before being caught on a counterattack and conceding a somewhat easy goal where the defense and Donnarumma weren’t focused.
Paris qualifies for the quarter-finals of the French Cup. That was the objective.
