PSG cruise past Nice to reach French Cup semis

Kylian Mbappe scored a goal as Paris St Germain comfortably defeated Nice 3-1 on Wednesday, securing their place in the French Cup semi-finals.

Kylian Mbappe scored the opening goal for the hosts in the 14th minute, expertly passing the ball between Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bulka's legs after a skillful exchange with Fabian Ruiz.

In the 33rd minute, PSG extended their lead when Bulka's clearance found Ousmane Dembele, whose pass reached Ruiz for a composed finish into the empty net.

Nice managed to pull one back just four minutes later, as Jeremie Boga made a fantastic run into the box and set up Gaetan Laborde for a half-volley goal.

PSG sealed the victory with a goal from Lucas Beraldo in the 60th minute.

Following the goal, there was a significant delay as Bulka sustained a nose injury, requiring treatment and a change of shirt.

PSG is set to play against Stade Rennais in the semi-final on April 3rd, while Lyon and Valenciennes will compete in the other semi-final the day before.
