in
the
competition
since
2014.

The
skipper
headed
the
runaway
Ligue

leaders
in
front
after
28
minutes
at
Stade

la
Rabine.

Mbappe
then
took
centre
stage
after
the
break,
striking
three
times
to
put

2022

Unbeaten
against
lower-league
opposition
in
the
Coupe
de
France
since
2010,
a
much-changed
PSG
quickly
imposed
their
authority
on
proceedings,
enjoying
over
three-quarters
of
the
possession.

The
visitors,
who
have
won
six
of
the
last
seven
editions
of
this
competition,
also
registered
eight
shots
inside
the
opening
25
minutes,
with
Kimpembe,
Xavi
Simons,
Ander
Herrera
and
Georginio
Wijnaldum
all
drawing
saves
from
Clement
Petrel.

But
there
was
no
denying
Kimpembe,
who
broke
the
deadlock
with
a
free
header
from
Nuno
Mendes’ corner.

Kimpembe
turned
provider
14
minutes
after
the
restart,
Mbappe
latching
onto
his
hopeful
long
ball
and
racing
away
before
doubling
the
lead.

The
France
striker
made
it
3-0
in
emphatic
fashion
in
the
71st
minute
as
he
fired
a
stunning
20-yard
effort
into
the
top
corner
from
Simons’
pass.

That
was
the
talisman’s
fourth
brace
in
as
many
appearances
for
PSG
in
all
competitions.

But
hungry
for
more,
he
completed
his
hat-trick
five
minutes
later,
playing
a
neat
one-two
with
Eric
Ebimbe
before
sliding
into
the
empty
net.
