Referee Ruddy Buquet blows his whistle, and Paris FC get tonight's capital derby underway in Coupe de France. Fans will be hoping for a repeat of the thriller that we saw during their last meeting in Ligue 1. Stay tuned!

It's early moments in the game, but PSG have controlled most of the ball, with Nkambadio being the busiest player for the visitors so far. The 22-year-old custodian is called to action again as he comes off his line to collect the ball off Kvaratskhelia, who was teed up by Mayulu.

A good chance for the hosts to take lead. Barcola, who has been a livewire on the flanks for PSG, plays an inch-perfect ball into the box. However, Ramos is inches away from getting at the end of it, and Paris FC survive another scare.

Much better from both sides, with Gory having the first shot on target with a weak attempt that was gathered by Chevalier. Vitinha comes close minutes later with a rebound that that went just over the bar. It feels like goals are inevitable soon in this Paris Derby.

Moments after Gory blasted his close-range effort over the crossbar, Nkambadio makes a terrific save to keep out a curling shot from Barcola. We are the half-way mark in the first half, and the first goal is yet to come despite a couple of half chances.

Just five minutes plus stoppage time left in the first half. It has been a frantic first half, with seven shots, although both sides have managed just a solitary crack on target. Other than a couple of nervy moments, Paris FC have defended well, with their goalkeeper being quite busy.

However, the visitors are forced into an early change due to injury as Gory comes off for Ikone.

It has been an energetic and end-to-end first half, but we are still searching for the first goal of this cup tie. Both sides had plenty of shots, but none of them have seriously threatened the goalkeepers. A big second half awaits.

PSG get the second half underway, hoping to convert their dominance on the ball into something tangible within regulation time. Paris FC, meanwhile, have made two changes at break. Ilan Kebbal comes on in place of Guebbels, while Thibault De Smet replaces Ollila.

It's still early in the second half, but it looks like more of the same as PSG continue wave after wave of attack through the flanks. Kvaratskhelia plays a brilliant ball into the box, and Nkambadio has to be alert to parry it away from his own goal. The resulting corner comes to nothing.

Paris FC make their fourth change of the night, bringing on Koleosho, who joined the club on Friday on loan from Burnley. Cafaro is the one to make way. The visitors need some attacking spark up top, with most of the football being played in their half, and Nkambadio is the reason they are still in the contest.

Luis Enrique finally turns to his bench, bringing on Dembele, Mendes, and Doue. Coming off are Kvaratskhelia, Pacho, and Mayulu. Just moments later, Barcelona is teed up by Mendes, and the youngester lets fly from inside the box. The shot beats the goalkeeper but goes inches wide of the post.

Chances abound for the home side, with Dembele the latest one to squander a really good opportunity. Doue's cross was flicked towards the Ballon d'Or holder by Ramos, but Nkambadio did well to hold on to the header. The Paris FC goalkeeper is having some game tonight!

Paris FC take the lead completely against the run of play, and it's first half substitute Ikone who puts the visitors ahead at Parc des Princes! A brilliant ball into the box by Kebbal, and Ikone made no mistake from inside the box to fire it past Chevalier. No celebration from the former PSG attacker.

Doue gets the first yellow of the night for kicking at Otavio. Substitute De Smet gets his name taken within five minutes as well for a foul on Dembele. PSG can't take advantage of the free-kick, with time running out.

PSG came close through Zaire-Emery, who struck the crossbar from the edge of the box. The fourth official indicates a minimum of six minutes to be added on. Six more minutes for PSG to find an equaliser and keep their title defence alive.

The referee blows his whistle to bring this Paris Derby to an end, and it's the minnows who seal an unlikely victory. Ikone's late goal was enough to dump PSG out of the competition, bringing an end to their title defence in the Round of 32. Enrique's side have only themselves to blame, wasting an endless number of chances. Paris FC grabbed their opportunity, and they move on to the last 16!
