    FT: Les Herbiers 0 - 2 PSG!! Paris Saint-Germain have won the French Cup!! Their opposition deserve a massive pat on the back for their spirited display, shown through just the two-goal deficit.

    HT: Les Herbiers 0 - 1 PSG! Well I don't think many would have expected there to be just one goal in it going into half-time.

Still all to play for in France!
