00:00Just about ready to go here, the first semi-final of this season's Coupe de France is underway
00:08and it is Dunkirk of the second division looking to pull off a massive shot tonight against the
00:14holders against the club who've won this competition more times than anybody else Paris Saint-Germain
00:23PSG beginning a decisive month of April here in Lille tonight
00:30they will surely be confirmed as Ligue 1 champions once again this coming weekend
00:37they were very nearly confirmed as champions last weekend this will be the pattern of the game
00:44for the whole 90 minutes probably
00:47ball in for Nuno Mendes really inviting delivery to the back post
00:51Desirée Douai unable to find it Nuno Mendes with the ball in
00:59difficult one for Douai to keep down
01:07inside the chance to put the ball into the box so some defending to do for Paris Saint-Germain
01:11and Dunkirk have scored six and a half minutes gone
01:15wow Vasil Sasso with the goal
01:26and the second division outsiders draw first blood here
01:36an absolutely textbook goal the free kick delivery from the left-hand side helped on
01:42its way at the near post by Alex Gergen the former Paris Saint-Germain player
01:47and turned in by Sasso beating Matvei Safonov in off the underside of the bar
02:02field to Dempele Paris Saint-Germain overloading that right hand side Dempele with too much on the cross
02:12Dempele
02:28PSG not panicking a long way to go Dempele drills it in all the way across the face of goal
02:33once again
02:57looks to the skies
02:57to the skies
03:01the start to the game
03:03that he was envisaging
03:05and not the start to the game
03:07Dunkirk
03:09envisaging in their wildest dreams
03:11the long kick down field by the goalkeeper
03:13headed on by Gaitan Korte
03:15controlled and then
03:17smashed in by Mohamed Alsah
03:19the young winger from Saudi Arabia
03:21picked up in January
03:23such a simple goal
03:25unbelievable
03:27that a team of Paris Saint-Germain's calibre
03:29could concede a goal in that fashion
03:37currently in a very sticky position
03:39in this French Cup tie
03:41it's a long time since PSG lost
03:43a La Liga position in the Cup
03:47we have to go back to March 2009
03:49a very different era for Paris Saint-Germain
03:51before the
03:53takeover a couple of years later
03:55which transformed the club
04:1186 years later
04:13they're back in the last four
04:15there's a goal back
04:17for Paris Saint-Germain
04:19it's come at a really good time
04:21for them
04:23right on the stroke of half time here
04:27Dembele lashing it in
04:29running back to half way
04:31it's a goal they've been threatening
04:33to score
04:37made back to him by Ashraf Hakimi
04:39they have overloaded that right hand side
04:41throughout the game tonight
04:43and finally brings its reward
04:45Hakimi for Dembele
04:4731 goals in all competitions
04:49for the French international forwards
04:51what a season he's having
04:55standing down at the entrance to the tunnel
04:57he will head towards the
04:59changing room to Paris Saint-Germain
05:01players and staff will head towards the changing room
05:03as well, they will be encouraged by the fact that
05:05they got one goal back
05:07just before the interval but
05:09it's been Dunkirk's half
05:11Dunkirk getters underway
05:13in the second half of this Cup
05:15semi-final, they lead Paris Saint-Germain
05:17by two goals to one
05:21having been 2-0 up before the half hour mark
05:25saw PSG pull a goal back
05:27just before the break
05:31and they may have
05:33an awful lot of defending to do
05:35again in this second half
05:39change for PSG with
05:41Salah Ramos replacing
05:43Mourinho and Emery
05:47Ramos will play through the middle
05:49of the attack, Dembele will
05:51stick to the right-hand side and Desirée Doué
05:53just dropping back into the
05:55midfield three along with Jérôme Neves
06:01in the league at the weekend, early on
06:03they scored an equaliser just before the break
06:05and went on to win 6-1
06:07there's the back post header
06:09and there is the equaliser
06:11Marquinhos, the captain
06:13turns it in, the Dunkirk
06:15players protesting to the referee
06:23the Parisians
06:25the reason the Dunkirk players are complaining I think is
06:27because of that, the header from Marquinhos
06:29initially, from which PSG
06:31were given a corner, they certainly felt
06:33it shouldn't have been a corner
06:35the corner played short by Dembele, back
06:37to Ousmane Dembele
06:39and the scorer of PSG's first goal
06:41late in the first half
06:43setting up Marquinhos
06:45to head in the equaliser early in the
06:47second half
06:51attempting
06:53to conclude
06:55Dunkirk may be seeing their big chance
06:57slip by, but they nearly
06:59retake the lead again immediately
07:01that's good
07:03Doué, oh it's a good inflection
07:05that's cool
07:07Éric Jolin could only
07:09palm it on its way into the net
07:12and from 2-0 down
07:14just before half-time
07:19to 3-2 up
07:21just past the hour mark
07:24PSG have
07:26certainly come to life, Doué
07:28playing the 1-2 with Barcoula
07:31and that shot
07:33taking a crucial
07:35touch off the defender
07:37on its way through, Erwin
07:39Jolin was wrong-footed
07:49I think it was Kéros
07:51the unfortunate defender who got the touch
07:53on that
07:55but Désiré Doué will of course
07:57claim it
08:00a player who's been in tremendous form
08:03just
08:05all the way
08:07by the Paris Saint-Germain defence
08:09as they look to get it clear
08:13struggling to do so
08:21Sassou Bardelli
08:24Sassou
08:26no-look pass from him
08:28Bardelli, this is good play
08:31Jojen
08:33Tijanek hits it into the side netting
08:44it's just
08:46the latest reminder that
08:48Dunkirk
08:50are
08:52not dead
08:53in Ligue 1 the whole of this first season at PSG
08:57Dembele
09:00when it comes to Fabian Ruiz
09:02who hits it, another one
09:04comfortably saved
09:06Dembele
09:08Dembele across to
09:10Mendes on the far side
09:12Fabian Ruiz
09:14comes to this Banyan once again
09:16it's another one that's taken a deflection
09:18and hits the upright
09:21eventually
09:23he's passed Lemar and Saint-Brieuc
09:25who have come from 2-0 down tonight
09:27and it's 4-2 now
09:29to Paris Saint-Germain
09:31Dembele running away
