Holder PSG beats Toulouse 2-1 to reach last 16 of French Cup
PARIS (AP) Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a last-gasp penalty as defending champion Paris Saint-Germain rallied to beat Toulouse 2-1 and reach the last 16 of the French Cup on Tuesday.
Ibrahimovic scored a late header when PSG won 1-0 at Toulouse in the league last weekend, and his winner this time came in the 89th minute after Toulouse defender Uros Spajic clumsily tripped left back Layvin Kurzawa just inside the penalty area.
Ibrahimovic sent goalkeeper Mauro Goicoechea the wrong way from the spot to prompt relieved celebrations at Parc des Princes.
Toulouse outplayed PSG in the first half, and took the lead when defender Francois Moubandje swapped passes with midfielder Adrien Regattin and slotted past goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu.
Center half David Luiz headed PSG level after halftime.
