Ibrahimovic nets brace in PSG's Cup triumph

Xinhua, May 22, 2016 Adjust font size:

Zlatan Ibrahimovic wrapped up his four year stay with Paris Saint-Germain in style by netting a superb double and setting up another in the French champions' 4-2 Cup final victory over Marseille on Saturday.

The Swedish forward, who announced to leave PSG by the end of this season a week ago, scored his first in the 47th minute from the penalty spot after Florian Thauvin canceled out Blaise Matuidi's early opener.

Ibra then teed up Edinson Cavani at the 57 minute before adding a late goal on 82 minutes to nail PSG's 10th French Cup title.

Marseille, who finished just 13th in Ligue 1, scored a second goal through Michy Batshuayi three minutes from time.

With the victory, PSG completed a second straight domestic treble after Les Parisiens secured their fourth Ligue 1 title in a row with eight rounds remaining and lifted the Cup of League by the end of last month. Endit
