PSG edges Montpellier in French Cup thriller
Moise Kean was the shoot-out hero for Paris Saint-Germain as it edged into the Coupe de France final by beating Montpellier on penalties after a Kylian Mbappe masterclass was not enough to finish the
Smarting after seeing its UEFA Champions League challenge ended by Manchester City and its Ligue 1 title defence severely dented by Rennes, two wonderful Mbappe goals, which sandwiched a similarly admirable Gaetan Laborde strike for Montpellier, appeared to have secured PSG's place in a sixth Coupe de France final in seven seasons.
But Andy Delort scored a late leveller to make it 2-2 in a dramatic finale to send an absorbing contest to penalties.
Five players from each team all delivered in a high-quality shoot-out, but the pressure proved too much for Junior Sambia, who blazed over the bar to give Kean the opportunity to seal a spot in the final against Monaco or fourth-tier Rumilly Vallieres as he fired into the top-left corner.
