Spot kicks were required after the two sides were all square at 2-2 after normal time in Montpellier. “It was a real cup tie, they’re never easy,” said PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino.
PSG were quick off the mark, Kylian Mbappe giving them a 10th minute lead. Montpellier were back on level terms with a superb shot from Gaetan Laborde.
Mbappe had PSG back in front. But just as it looked as though PSG were home, forward Andy Delort nabbed the equaliser. At 5-5 Junior Sambia sent his spot-kick high leaving Moise Kean to send PSG to the final.
