PSG keep up cup heroics to reach final

Paul Le Guen's Paris Saint-Germain FC are on course for a remarkable cup double after reaching the Coupe de France final with a 1-0 victory at second-division Amiens SC on Tuesday.

Cup of plenty
PSG will have the chance to add the Coupe to the French League Cup they won in March after Yannick Boli – nephew of former international Basile – scored the only goal of a semi-final hosted by their opponents. Le Guen's men, third from bottom in the French top flight with two games to play, will face either Olympique Lyonnais or CS Sedan-Ardennes, who meet on Wednesday, in the 24 May final at the Stade de France.

Boli breakthrough
The 20-year-old Boli came off the bench to score his first senior goal after 78 minutes of a tie largely dominated by an Amiens side sitting lower mid-table in Ligue 2. The strike, a neat finish following a one-two with Péguy Luyindula and then a devastating burst beyond two defenders, ended the underdogs' challenge just as PSG had seen off USJA Carquefou in the quarter-finals. "We deserve a bit of happiness," said PSG keeper Jérôme Alonzo, who made a fine stoppage-time save from former Paris striker Fabrice Fiorès. "Now we can celebrate for a couple of hours before thinking about the league again."
