The hosts bore down on goal from the off, with Javier Pastore breaking and setting up Ezequiel Lavezzi, but the striker's subsequent shot was blocked and deflected out for a corner, which came to nothing.

Ajax were in strong shape at the back and managed to hold PSG back for a period, though the French giants came close when Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Blaise Matuidi both fired wide around the quarter-hour mark.

In the 21st minute, Davy Klaassen came within a whisker of heading home following Mike Van der Hoorn's cross, but the young midfielder just failed to connect with the ball.

Just three minutes later, however, Laurent Blanc's charges pushed forward again, with Lavezzi forcing a good one-on-one save from Jasper Cillessen.

Eventually, PSG broke the deadlock when Ibrahimovic and Lavezzi combined to set up the unmarked Cavani in the 35th minute, who duly slotted into the empty Ajax net.
