PSG advances in Coupe de la Ligue

PSG advanced in the Coupe de la Ligue with a convincing 2-0 victory over Nancy Lorraine in front of a modest crowd of under 16,000 at Parc des Princes. As expected Paul Le Guen used an alternative lineup with Mateja Kežman and Péguy Luyindula paired up-top with Mickaël Landreau, Guillaume Hoarau, Claude Makélélé and Ludovic Giuly excluded from the starting grid for this weekends tussle against Havre AC. The striking combination worked to a charm with with Péguy Luyindula scoring twice at the half-hour mark and six minutes later with Mateja Kežman providing. PSG now advances to the quarter-finals with RC Lens, Girondins de Bordeaux, Vannes OC, Nice, LB Châteauroux, Havre AC and FC Metz who upset Olympique Lyonnais.
