Match Report
Kylian Mbappe scored for a sixth game running as Paris Saint-Germain eased into the quarter-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue with a 4-1 win over Ligue 2 side Le Mans at MMArena on Wednesday.
The Ligue 1 champions made eight changes from their 4-0 win over Saint-Etienne on Sunday but proved too strong for Le Mans, who were the last remaining team from outside the top flight in the competition.
Pablo Sarabia, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Mbappe were all on target in the first half for PSG, who added a fourth goal through Angel Di Maria in the 47th minute.
Match Events
21' GOAL! Le Mans 0-1 PSG (Sarabia)
PSG TAKE THE LEAD! They have been threatening and finally have the breakthrough. Nobody is picking Sarabia up at the far post as the ball comes through to him and he fires his shot on target. Patron gets two hands to it, but can't stop it from hitting the back of the net. 1-0 PSG!
40' GOAL! Le Mans 0-2 PSG (Choupo-Moting)
It's clever thinking by PSG to take the quick free-kick and pick out Mbappe. The Le Mans players aren't paying attention as he squares it to Choupo-Moting who's left with a simple tap-in from close range. 2-0 PSG!
41' GOAL! Le Mans 0-3 PSG (Mbappe)
MBAPPE SCORES! He does brilliantly to hold off Lemmonier as he brings down the ball before firing his shot over Patron and into the back of the net. 3-0 PSG!
47' GOAL! Le Mans 1-3 PSG (Di Maria)
He's a long way out but none of the Le Mans defenders are closing him down, so he decides to go for goal himself. He keeps the shot low and Patron does get down to try and save it, but it bounces through his hands and over the line. 4-0 PSG!
53' GOAL! Le Mans 1-4 PSG (Manzala)
Manzala isn't picked up by the PSG defence as he cuts inside from the right to get on the end of Maziz's pass. He takes a touch to set himself before hitting his shot into the top-right corner from the middle of the box. 4-1!
