PSG’s five year 49-game winning run in domestic cup matches comes to an end

PSG eliminated guingamp

Paris Saint-Germain lost a domestic cup game for the first time in five years when they went down 2-1 to top-flight’s bottom side Guingamp in the Coupe de la Ligue on Wednesday night.

Neymar netted for PSG in the 63rd minute, who have won the trophy in the last five seasons. Having missed one earlier, Marcus Thuram – son of France legend Lilian – scored an injury-time penalty, adding to Yeni N’Gbakoto’s 83rd minute spot-kick for a 2-1 comeback win.

Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Marco Veratti were all booked in the dying seconds as the PSG players protested at not being awarded their own penalty when Veratti went down in the box.

Guingamp’s win was the shock result of the season so far and ended PSG’s 20-game unbeaten run in all domestic French competitions. Guingamp are joined in the last four by Girondins de Bordeaux, who beat Le Havre 1-0, and AS Monaco, who overcame Rennes 8-7 on penalties after the sides drew 1-1. Strasbourg reached the semi-finals on Tuesday with a 2-1 win over Olympique Lyonnais.
