Paris Saint-Germain academy product Jonathan Ikoné came back to haunt his old club on Monday as he scored the only goal in Paris FC's 1-0 win over their city rivals to reach the last 16 of the French Cup. Substitute Ikoneé stabbed home in the final 20 minutes to surprise the dominant record 16-time winners and current champions at the Parc des Princes.
PSG lost their first home game in the competition since 2022 and suffered their first last-32 defeat since 2014.
"We're really happy, we managed to defend well," Ikoné told France Télévisions. "I'm really happy with my goal, just a joy, and I hope it's not my last goal."
Before kick-off, the hosts' former captain Mamadou Sakho, who began his career with the Paris FC academy before crossing town, announced his retirement from the pitch. The sides met earlier this month in the first top-flight derby in the City of Light since 1990, as Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé scored in a 2-1 win for the Champions League holders.
