Paris Saint-Germain lift French League Cup after easy victory over Bastia

Paris Saint-Germain win the Coupe de la Ligue with a 4-0 victory over Bastia.

Paris Saint-Germain have lifted the Coupe de la Ligue after a 4-0 victory over Bastia.

Bastia were on the attack early with Sebastien Squillaci and Giovanni Sio directing headers towards goal in the opening 15 minutes.

Paris Saint-Germain began to get a foothold on the game though, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic headed over from an Ezequiel Lavezzi cross.

Ibrahimovic broke the deadlock in the 20th minute after Squillaci took down Lavezzi in the area. Squillaci received his marching orders and the Swede dispatched his penalty into the back of the net.

The lead was doubled as Ibrahimovic directed the ball into the bottom left corner of the net just before the break.

Lavezzi came close to adding a third in first-half stoppage time but directed his shot straight at Alphonse Areola.

PSG came out flying at the start of the second half with Javier Pastore directing a long-range shot on goal and Lavezzi sending a shot wide of the right post from inside the area.

Ibrahimovic was denied his hat-trick when his shot was blocked in the 53rd minute, before Bastia had a rare foray forward in the 56th minute with Florian Marange heading wide.

Marco Verratti was played in one-on-one in the 71st minute but Areola denied him, and Areola was called into action once again five minutes later. This time, Marquinhos's shot was parried by the Bastia goalkeeper.

Cavani put the result beyond doubt in the 81st minute, heading in from a Serge Aurier cross and he added a fourth in stoppage time when he found the bottom right corner.
