Paris Saint-Germain stroll into Coupe de France quarters with win against Nantes

By Matthew Smith, Reporter | 11 February 2015

PSG cruise into the last eight of the Coupe de France with a comfortable 2-0 win over Nantes, Edinson Cavani and Yohan Cabaye scoring in the first half.

Paris Saint-Germain are in the Coupe de France quarter-finals after a comfortable 2-0 victory over Nantes, thanks to first-half goals from Edinson Cavani and Yohan Cabaye.

The hosts took the lead on 19 minutes, when a David Luiz free kick was whipped into the box and headed in by Cavani for his third goal in four cup matches.

Fifteen minutes later PSG doubled their advantage, as Gregory van der Wiel's cross proved too difficult for the Nantes defence, allowing Cabaye to slot home.

PSG continued to dominate after the break, with Luiz having a superb game in defence, and Jean-Christophe Bahebeck coming close with a drive. Lucas Digne also shot just wide on 70 minutes from an Ezequiel Lavezzi free kick.

There were some more worrying moments late on for PSG, with Luiz receiving treatment after falling heavily, and Papy Mison Djilobodji forcing PSG keeper Nicolas Douchez into a good diving save.
