Half-Time Report: Paris Saint-Germain frustrated by resilient Auxerre

Auxerre hold on until half time as they remain level with Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe de France final.

Auxerre and Paris Saint-Germain are goalless at half time of a Coupe de France final which has offered few chances so far.

Auxerre dominated in the opening 15 minutes, but they failed to seriously test Nicolas Douchez in the PSG goal.

Cheick Diarra fired wide from the edge of the box, while Frederic Sammaritano forced Douchez into a comfortable low save from distance.

However, they almost fell behind as Edinson Cavani went close for the Ligue 1 champions when he latched onto the end of a Lucas Moura cross, only to direct his header a few inches over the crossbar.

PSG dominated from then on as Zlatan Ibrahimovic went close to breaking the deadlock twice in five minutes, but Auxerre goalkeeper Donovan Leon made a couple of point-blank saves to keep the scores level.

Leon could not do anything about Thiago Motta's effort a few minutes after, as the Italian smashed a shot from the edge of the box against the post.
