Half-Time Report: Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores two as Paris Saint-Germain lead Bastia

Paris Saint-Germain are on their way to victory in the Coupe de la Ligue final with a 2-0 half-time lead over Bastia.

Bastia were on the attack early with Sebastien Squillaci and Giovanni Sio directing headers towards goal in the opening 15 minutes.

Paris Saint-Germain began to get a foothold on the game though, and Ibrahimovic headed over from an Ezequiel Lavezzi cross.

Ibrahimovic broke the deadlock in the 20th minute, after Squillaci took down Lavezzi in the area. Squillaci received his marching orders and Ibrahimovic dispatched his penalty into the back of the net.

The lead was doubled 20 minutes later, again through Ibrahimovic, who directed the ball into the bottom left corner of the net.

Lavezzi came close to adding a third in first-half stoppage time but he directed his shot straight at Alphonse Areola.
