"And, it is just the second time PSG have been eliminated from the competition before the round of 16 in the last 20 years, with Montpellier the only others to do so in 2014. Ikone has a knack for popping up with a goal in the Coupe de France, though - he has netted four goals in the tournament this season, more than any other Paris FC player."
"Obed Nkambadio impressed throughout, making smart stops to keep Paris FC in the tie as Kvaratskhelia saw multiple chances pushed away by the goalkeeper. But it was Ikone who gave Paris FC the lead against the run of play after a quick counter-attack; Ilan Kebbal threaded a lovely pass into the Frenchman, who took the ball under control before prodding past Lucas Chevalier."
Paris FC beat holders Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at the Parc des Princes in the Coupe de France round of 32. PSG outshot the visitors 25 to four but failed to convert chances. The first half was understated with Bradley Barcola, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Goncalo Ramos missing opportunities. Obed Nkambadio made crucial saves throughout to keep Paris FC in the tie. Jonathan Ikone scored on a quick counter after Ilan Kebbal's pass, prodding past Lucas Chevalier. Warren Zaire-Emery hit the crossbar and late Vitinha effort was tipped over to seal the upset. The win was Paris FC's first-ever over PSG and marked only the second pre-round-of-16 elimination for PSG in 20 years.
