PSG took the lead in the 16th minute when Joao Neves capitalized on a rebound after his initial shot hit the crossbar, tapping it in at the far post. Goncalo Ramos was the star of the night, scoring a hat-trick. He first netted a close-range goal in the 36th minute and then converted a penalty early in the second half. Ramos completed his treble with a well-executed strike, marking his first-ever hat-trick for PSG. Desire Doue and Senny Mayulu also found the back of the net, with Ousmane Dembele adding a final flourish five minutes before the match ended.
PSG head coach, Luis Enrique, expressed his contentment with the result, stating, "It’s been a great night for us, reaching the semi-finals and giving different players the opportunity to perform." He also praised Stade Briochin for their remarkable cup run, acknowledging their valiant effort despite the heavy defeat.
This victory continued PSG's unbeaten streak, which has been ongoing since November. Next, they will face Lille in Ligue 1, followed by a crucial Champions League match against Liverpool.
Other notable results in the French Cup quarter-finals included Dunkerque’s 3-2 win over Brest, a penalty shootout victory for Reims against Angers, and Cannes’ 3-1 triumph over Guingamp.
