0' Kickoff for the second semi-final of this years French Cup
1' One minute in game and already heavy pressing by the PSG team almost causing a defensive mistake and a potential goal for Paris.
4' Cross by PSG is sent to Cavani who is a yard away from the goal but his header is weak and to the ground and De Sanctis saves.
5' Quick freekick taken by Veratti to Cavani who gets tackled in the box. No penalty.
6' Maxwell crosses in the box but the header is blocked and it is a corner.
10' Monaco can really not get the ball out of their third.
18' Monaco with an offensive move as a pass threads through the defence to Germain but Thiago Silva just manages to poke it away.
20' Great cross by Monaco but the header is saved by Areola. Great play all around.
26' De Sanctis does a HUGE mistake after a scruffy shot. He let's the ball rebound which arrives directly to Cavani and the ball slips by him to Draxler who has an open net. 1-0 PSG
31' Two goals in five minutes and what a goal Cavani gets the ball and chips it to Di maria who does a low quick pass to complete the one-two to Cavani who flicks it in the net.
39' My reddit crashed so sorry.
40' Cavani tries a flick of the ball which passes the keeper but the shot is too weak and a defender clears it.
43' Di Maria crosses again to Matuidi who flicks it to the post. The rebound lands to Cavani who shoots it high and wide.
45' Halftime 2-0 for PSG
49' Maxwell passes Ragi and gets a one-on-one but De Sanctis saves it.
50' Mbae does the opposite Mbappe and scores an own goal after a low cross has an awakrd bounce and bounces off him. 3-0 PSG
51' Sloppy defensive work by Monaco allows Di Maria to get the ball and cross which Cavani lets through to Matuidi who scores an open goal. 4-0 PSG
55' Di Maria comes off for Lucas after a great display tonight.
58' Double substitution by Jardim's side. Have to agree on the commentator, its understandable that they want to rest their players but this is still a cup semi-final with the two top teams. At least some starting players or even subs would be appreciated.
59' Fact that PSG have 72% possession to Monacos 28% is sad.
72' Verratti does a great chipped pass to Lucas but for some reason he doesn't try to hit it first time and instead controls it causing him to take up too much time and his shot is easily saved by De Sanctis.
75' Good save by Areola in a one-on-one situation. He hasn't had much to do but he has been there when needed and has had a couple of good saves now.
84' Lucas has a freekick in a perfect spot but his shot whiffs the crossbar, just barely over.
90' Goal again for PSG. A shot lands to Matuidis feet who passes to Marquinhos who only has to tap it in. 5-0 PSG
91' Game over. PSG are in the final where they will face Angers. 5-0
