Paris - Arab Today
late goals from substitutes Javier Pastore and Edinson Cavani to see off Ligue 2 side Niort in the Coupe de France and book their spot in the quarter-finals.
Unai Emery made eight changes, including giving Grzegorz Krychowiak his first appearance of 2017, but ultimately needed to bring on Pastore and Cavani from the bench to settle the last-16 tie. The visitors, seeking a third consecutive tournament triumph, were impressive throughout if it weren't for a resolute defensive display by PSG.
Pastore scored with 12 minutes remaining to edge his team in front. Fellow sub Cavani put the game beyond doubt in stoppage time with a real poacher's effort. PSG are now 15 games unbeaten across all competitions after today's win.
