PSG beat Saint-Etienne to reach League Cup semis

Xinhua, January 14, 2015 Adjust font size:

Zlatan Ibrahimovic chested home the winning goal as Paris Saint-Germain claimed a 1-0 win at Saint-Etienne on Tuesday to reach the League Cup semifinals.

In an even first half, Ibrahimovic had two efforts saved by Saint-Etienne goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier, while Saint-Etienne midfielder Moustapha Sall's firm downward header was cleared off the line.

Ibrahimovic put PSG ahead in the 72nd minute when he chested in Lucas' cross from the right, although Ruffier was adamant he had scooped the ball away before it crossed the line. Endi
