In one of the most anticipated matches of the 1/8 finals of the Coupe de France, Paris FC has caused an earthquake in French football by eliminating Paris Saint-Germain, the absolute favorite of the match.
The match ended with a 1-0 victory for Paris FC, in an exceptional performance by the smaller team, which showed great character and determination against the Ligue 1 giant.
The start of the match was tense and PSG displayed their usual dominance in possession. Gonçalo Ramos had a good chance in the 23rd minute, but his shot was saved by goalkeeper Obed Nkambadio, who would become Paris FC's hero throughout the match.
Paris FC did not give up and found the decisive goal in the 74th minute, when Ilan Kebbal showed excellent vision and set up Jonathan Ikone. The latter showed extraordinary composure inside the area and beat goalkeeper Costil with a precise shot into the bottom left corner, giving them the advantage that would be enough for elimination.
PSG tried their best to react. Ousmane Dembélé, Vitinha and Bradley Barcola created several clear chances, but goalkeeper Nkambadio and the Paris FC defense were out of reach.
This elimination marks one of the biggest surprises of this edition of the Coupe de France. /Telegraph/
