Angel Di Maria scores twice as PSG cruised to the semi finals of the Coupe de France

Angel Di Maria was the star man for Paris St Germain last night as they cruised to the semi-finals of the Coupe de France.

Di Maria who hit the net twice in the game also produced a magical performance for the home team as they defeated Olympique Marseille 3-0 on Wednesday.

The league leaders were without Brazilian super star Neymar, who sustained an injury in his foot over the weekend.

The injury requires surgery and Neymar is likely to be on the doctors book for six to eight weeks.

PSG's were victorious despite two quarter-final shocks as third division club, Les Herbiers and Chambly, despite both teams fighting against relegation, were able to upset the big boys to reach the last four.

Les Herbiers defeated second division side, Lens 4-2 on penalty kicks after both side failed to break the deadlock throughout 90 minute of play on Tuesday.

While Chambly defeated top-tier Strasbourg 1-0 with a late brilliant goal just before the stroke of full time.

Di Maria, whose game time have been reduced following the signing of Neymar from Barcelona, also proved to the fans that he still got those deadly performance in him, hit the net with his weaker right foot.

He was constantly on the attack and was causing a lot of trouble for the Marseille defenders.

The winger broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time when fired in a right footed shot from 20 metres.

The shot was slightly deflected off Marseille defender Adil Rami, prompting the Marseille goal-keeper Mandanda to kick his post in frustration.

The winger scored the second in the 48th minute with a calm finish after a teasing cross from left back Yuri Berchiche's sailed past two of Marseille defenders.

Mandanda, somehow kept out Edinson Cavani's header and Julian Draxler shot inches wide with a spectacular overhead kick.

Cavani closed the scoring book with a brilliant goal in the 82nd minute.

A perfect move through the middle left Cavani with the time to crash a thumping low shot past the Marseille defence and past Mandanda as the home fans celebrated at the Parc des Princes.
