PSG had an appointment with the French Cup to continue its wide domination over the hexagonal lawns. Already champion of virtual France, the club of the capital had only to ensure the blow in this semi-final against Dunkirk, before thinking of its big meeting in the Champions League next week. The heads were undoubtedly already a little turned towards Aston Villa because, as in Saint-Etienne, Luis Enrique made some changes with this time Beraldo who was associated with Marquinhos to blow Pacho. Zaïre-Emery also started, in addition to Barcola, gifted and deflected in front. The first impressions gave an air of deja vu, an ultra-domination Parisian, whatever the aligned team.
Overall
From the first minute, Dembélé lit a first salvo, followed by Doué on this center of Nuno Mendes (5th). Recrocal in its surface, the 5th in Ligue 2 had to say that the evening was going to be long, until this first Raid of Yassine on the left side which forced Hakimi to the fault. Georgen's free kick, trained at PSG, was extended from the head to Sasso, forgotten at the second post by Joao Neves to send the ball under the bar of a helpless Safonov (1-0, 7th). This opening of the scoring against the course of the game had the gift of getting the Parisians out of their good start. They suddenly displayed less confidence and saw the Dunkirk winning the duels even if the domination remained in favor of the men of Luis Enrique.
Dembélé's goal before the break has changed everything
Dominate is not winning and Dunkirk even made the break on a long ball and a duel won by Courtet. Al-Saad intelligently played his advance on Nuno Mendes and adjusted Safonov (2-0, 27th). Preferred to Donnarumma this evening, the Russian was not flawless either. This time, Luis Enrique lost his calm and the Ile -de -France their creativity. Ten good minutes were needed to digest this new disappointment. Pierre-Mauroy's atmosphere also became incandescent. Perhaps the feat was on the move. But the defense of Luis Castro ended up cracking on a new shot from Dembélé, well offset by Hakimi on this change of game of Vitinha (2-1, 45th).
Dunkirk returned to the lawn with one and not two goals in advance, and even received the equalization as soon as the locker room returns to a Marquinhos head (2-2, 48th), following a corner which should probably not have been granted to PSG. This time, the wind seemed to have changed meaning, and yet the USLD did not give up. In the process, the Maritimes were even close to resuming the advantage on this head outside the Skyttä frame (49th). Paris was growing again and again, and logically took advantage of this deviated strike from Goué (2-3, 62nd). The hardest part was done but Dunkirk did not yet admit defeat, evidenced by this call from Bammou (77th) and this closed angle shot of the entrant Tejan (87th). The valiant team of Ligue 2 still ended up abdicating on an error of its defense, concluded by Dembélé on one last against (2-4, 90th+4). It was much more complicated than expected but PSG is in the final where it will face Cannes or Reims.
