Goals from Edinson Cavani and Javier Pastore fired reigning Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain into the last-16 of the Coupe de France at the expense of Bordeaux.
The capital club plundered a two-goal lead through the Uruguayan striker (13) and his Argentinian teammate Pastore (32) before Diego Rolan responded one minute after the break.

The Ligue 2 team took the lead through Moustapha Sall's early own goal but St Etienne showed their top-flight credentials by going 3-1 ahead in the second half thanks to Kevin Monnet-Pacquet and Ricky van Wolfswinkel's brace.
Tours then forced extra-time with a strike from Youssef Adnane and Bryan Bergougnoux's penalty, but Mevlut Erdinc and Monnet-Pacquet got Les Verts over the line before 120 minutes were up.
Their task had been made slightly easier by the dismissal of striker Christian Kouakou, who picked up his second yellow card for TFC in 103rd minute.
An all Ligue 1 clash between Monaco and Evian ended 2-0 in the principality club's favour earlier on Wednesday, with Lucas Ocampos and Anthony Martial grabbing the goals in the final 30 minutes.

While Championnat side Boulogne claimed a 1-0 victory over Grenoble thanks to Julien Begue's third-minute goal, two other ties between lower-league opposition went to extra-time.
