Paris Saint-Germain had to come from behind to beat Dunkerque 4-2 to reach the Coupe de France final.
The hosts broke the deadlock in the seventh minute through Vincent Sasso turning home after meeting Alec Georgen’s flick-on header to the far post. Muhannad Al Saad doubled the Ligue 2 outfit’s advantage just 20 minutes later by latching onto a ball over the top from Gaëtan Courtet to slot past Matvei Safonov.

Ousmane Dembélé, however clawed back Les Parisiens’ deficit on the stroke of half time with a drilled finish after being teed up by Achraf Hakimi inside the penalty area. Luis Enrique’s side drew level shortly after the interval as poacher turned provider when Dembélé’s whipped cross found Marquinhos at the far left-hand post.
They finally took the lead later in the half when Désiré Doué produced a deflected strike from outside the penalty area to seal their place in the showpiece. Dembélé added a fourth deep in added time by latching onto a loose ball from inside his half before slotting home following a surging run.
PSG will face the winner of Wednesday’s other semi-final between Cannes and Reims as they bid to successfully defend their crown.
