8' CHANCE! Draxler's shot saved
It all comes from a well worked corner, which Di Maria takes short to Bernat who made a run towards the near post, he flicks the ball back to Draxler, who fires a low shot at goal through a few players and Gurtner pulls off a superb save with his feet to stop the goal heading into the bottom corner. Amiens then scramble the ball clear.
57'Penalty Goal! Amiens 0-1 PSG (Cavani)
Cavani cooly slots the ball past Gurtner in the Amiens goal and PSG take the lead, it's 1-0! The striker had plenty of time to think about where he was going to slot the ball after VAR reviewed the penalty decision, however he didn't let that affect him and slotted the ball into the back of the net.
66'Second Yellow Card! Adenon sent off
Adenon is shown a second yellow card after bringing Mbappe down right on the edge of the penalty area, just as the striker was about to break into the box. The referee shows no hesitation in giving him his marching orders.
70'GOAL! Amiens 0-2 PSG (Mbappe)
Mbappe with the second goal of the game, after an excellent run and low cross into the box by Cavani, who picked out Mbappe perfectly, he outpaced his marker and then the striker easily fired the ball past Gurtner and into the back of the net.
79'GOAL! Amiens 0-3 PSG (Marquinhos)
Marquinhos slotting him the third goal of the game after some excellent play by Draxler to dribble past a couple of Amiens defenders in the penalty area. Draxler squared the ball to Marquinhos who was in a much better shooting position and he fired the ball past Gurtner, who stood no chance.

Match Report
Cavani broke the deadlock from the penalty spot after Alexis Blin was penalised for handball and, following a red card for Amiens' centre-back Khaled Adenon, the Uruguay international teed up Mbappe before Marquinhos added a third as PSG stretched their lead at the top back to 13 points.
A well-worked eighth-minute corner from PSG saw Julian Draxler denied by the right leg of Regis Gurtner, who enjoyed a largely comfortable first half despite PSG having over 75 per cent possession.
