Evian TG FC 2 - 0 Paris Saint-Germain

PSG took a 26-game unbeaten run in Ligue 1 with them to Annecy to take on Evian in Wednesday's late kick-off, and such is the strength in depth that the capital club can boast, coach Laurent Blanc was able to make six personnel changes from the team who coasted past Olympique Lyonnais 4-0 at the weekend - a result which sent the Parisians four point clear at the top.Pascal Dupraz made only one change from his Evian team that lost 2-0 in Bastia last time. Djakaridja Koné replaced Aldo Angoula, so Jonathan Mensah moved from right-back to centre-back, with Brice Dja Djédjé starting the game on the right side of the home defence. Such was PSG's attacking intent - particularly down the left flank through Lucas Digne - that Dja Djédjé was kept there for much of the opening period.   Profligate PSGEdinson Cavani could have had a brace in the opening ten minutes. Digne raced down the channel early on and crossed for the Uruguayan, but his header deflected off Cédric Mongongu and out for a corner (4'). On the other flank, Christophe Jallet did well to take a quick throw-in, finding the nearby Zlatan Ibrahimović. The Swede controlled sharply before crossing for Cavani, but this time his strike partner headed over the bar unchallenged (9').Dja Djédjé had Evian's best chance of the first-half, on a rare foray upfield. Ibrahimović saw his header cleared from a corner, and Les Roses broke away on the counter-attack. Sougou and Dja Djédjé found themselves two-on-one on the edge of the PSG box, but after a beautifully weighted pass from the former, the latter was unable to convert against his former employers (15').Soon after, Digne restored his ascendancy on that side of the Parc des Sports pitch. Blaise Matuidi's pass was meant for Ibrahimović, but having bombed past Dja Djédjé, Digne was on hand to pick up the pass. After working space for a shot, the former LOSC Lille man could only blaze wide of Jesper Hansen's far post though (16'). The chance that fell to Jérémy Ménez ten minutes before the interval summed up a profligate first half. Once again it was Ibrahimović who provided the opportunity, drilling the ball into the Evian box. Ménez stooped to head the ball home when a volley would perhaps have been easier, and Hansen didn't even need to make the save (35').Super-subBlanc has been lauded for his man-management and tactical wisdom since succeeding Carlo Ancelotti in the summer, and after an hour of fruitless toil, the former France captain threw on South American attacking midfielders Javier Pastore and Lucas Moura - over 80 million euros-worth of talent - for the final phase (62'), but it was opposite number Dupraz who was to take the plaudits. 21-year-old N'Sikulu had only been on the pitch for four minutes when he dealt a hammer blow to PSG. Pastore tried to trick his way past Mensah on the edge of the Evian box but lost possession. One, quick-fire, Daniel Wass pass later and the visitors were rushing to get men back to defend. Sougou saw a shot blocked by Marquinhos, but N'Sikulu was on hand to slam home the rebound for just his second Ligue 1 goal (75').Pastore had the chance to make amends soon after when Ibrahimović picked out the Argentine with a pin-point chip. Pastore was unmarked and got power behind the header, but Hansen was well placed to make the save (86'). PSG's bid for a domestic double last season came to an end here at the Parc des Sports, crashing out of the Coupe de France quarter-finals with ETG winning through on penalties, and desperate to avoid a repeat disappointment they threw everything forward in the dying minutes.Evian were to have the last word though. Wass and Sougou combined brilliantly down the left-hand side with PSG right-back Jallet posted missing. Wass then nutmegged Thiago Motta in order to find his partner in crime once again, and this time Sougou danced past Thiago Silva before slotting the ball past a helpless Salvatore Sirigu (87') and Evian held on to seal a shock 2-0 win - PSG's first league defeat since March. The Qatari-backed giants remain a point clear of Lille at the top, while Evian climb to 15th with their fifth win of the season.
