Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice as Paris St-Germain edged Nantes 2-1 to reach the French League Cup final.
The Sweden striker capitalised on an error by
goalkeeper Remy Rio to open the scoring in the fifth minute with a shot
on the half-volley.
Nantes equalised with nine minutes to go when Olivier Veigneau turned in Georges-Kevin Nkoudou cross.
But Ibrahimovic secured PSG's passage when he headed home Lucas Moura's cross in the final minute.
Zlatan strikes again
- Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored 32 goals in 33 appearances for club and country this season
PSG will play the winner of
Wednesday's semi-final between seven-time French Ligue 1 champions Lyon
and second division Troyes on 19 April.
It also keeps alive PSG's hopes of claiming a domestic double. They are five points clear of second-place Monaco in Ligue 1.
"It was a real cup tie, the script is often like that," said PSG coach Laurent Blanc.
"In the second half Nantes applied more pressure, were more involved, created some chances and equalised - but in the last 10 minutes my team stepped up a gear.
"We're in the final, that's what we were looking for and we've done it."
