Poor pass from Matuidi, as Deplagne picks up the ball and tries to waste as much time as possible. Back to Douchez, and it's hoofed back across goal. Less than 90 seconds left!
Edinson Cavani's miss holds so much meaning now. Had that gone in, this might've been a different game.
90' +1
Into the first of THREE additional minutes at the Parc des Princes.

Montpellier withstanding the pressure now as Stambouli performs a wonderful tackle on Cavani to deny the Uruguayan. And the tensions continue!!

79'
SAIHI! Oh, what a save by Douchez. The clock is ticking, and that could've killed it off. Lovely ball into the path of the midfielder, who cannot lift it over Douchez, who claims at his feet.
78'

The last time PSG had lost at home was a 1-2 defeat to nine-man Rennes in Ligue 1, in November 2012. More than a year ago! Can Montpellier hold on?

Woeful free-kick from M'Baye Niang. That was an opportunity that has gone begging. And now for the introduction of the duo.
64'
Free-kick conceded by Verratti on the edge of the box, and Montpellier have a free-kick. Brilliant position as Ibrahimovic and Motta prepare to come on. Chants of 'IBRA' go up in anticipation!
63'
PIONNIER! Brilliant save, right down to deny Edinson Cavani. The Uruguayan holds off the defender to fire a low shot with the goalkeeper equal to it. Pressure mounting, frustrations growing!
62'
Jeers against the referee as Olivier Thual dismisses calls for a free-kick. Looked like a hand went in there, as up at the other end, Cabella has a header flashed wide of goal.

52'
Free-kick Montpellier. Verratti with a rather unnecessary challenge on Jamel Saihi, and the Italian is lucky to escape a booking. Free-kick drilled in, and headed away by Silva.
51'
Marveaux has a neat touch towards Souleymane Camara who attempts to race his way into the penalty box. Has Thiago Silva on him, under pressure and the Brazil captain has won that tussle.
49'
Tiene locates Deplagne, who hoofs the ball far forward, about 50-60 yards. Rolland Courbis looks on frustratingly at the blatant conceding of possession by the young full-back.
48'
Taken by Lucas Digne, surprisingly, and the left-back's bid to score his first goal for PSG ends in failure, as he blasts the ball over the bar.
47'

46'
J. Marveaux enters the game and replaces A. El Kaoutari.
UNDERWAY in the second half at the Parc des Princes. Can Montpellier put the first cross in PSG's bid for a quadruple?

Cabella's ball into the box is easily saved by Nicholas Douchez, who begins play promptly. Towards Menez, who is hacked down by Jamel Saihi.
43'

38'
CAVANI!! The chances are coming. And the chances are going. A brilliant cross into the box is met by the Uruguayan, who attempt to emulate Andre Pierre Gignac's scissor kick for Marseille last night. Flies over the bar.
36'
MONTANO! Stunning shot, and parried behind for a corner by Douchez. Well worked by the Colombia striker, who powers everything behind that. The corner is wasted, however.
34'
Montpellier surviving by the skin of their teeth as Pastore is unsuccessful in front of goal. The visitors are beginning to be overwhelmed, as Cavani glances his header wide, and the cross into the box evades everyone!
32'
Lucas feeds Van der Wiel on the right, towards Verratti, but Tiene's approach forces the hosts to go all the way back, before possession is conceded to Deplagne.
31'
HOWLER!! Well, Cavani has arguably a vote for miss of the season. After scoring an easy effort, this time he has put it wide! Moura picks up the loose ball on the right, squares for the Uruguayan. Open goal, and he's put it wide!
30'
E. Cavani has scored a goal for PSG!
PSG equalise, as Montpellier are pegged back within ten minutes of taking the lead. Cavani bursts forward again as Pastore helps it on for Matuidi, but the shot is parried by Pionnier.
GOAL!! PSG 1-1 Montpellier - CAVANI! The easiest goal he'll score. But the ball, the source of the attack is fantastic. Pastore flicks a superbly weighted pass towards Digne, who squares for Cavani. Fantastic.
27'
The visitors are holding ranks to frustrate Edinson Cavani and go. Can Courbis' side go a full remaining hour and more without conceding? Unlikely. The champions are still in possession.
26'
Cabella, subject of interest from Newcastle United, is upended by Verratti and requires a bit of treatment, but he should return in time. Meanwhile, PSG push forward.
25'
And the boos and jeers continue as Montpellier break on the counter, towards Camara on the left. Only Montano ahead of him as Cabella gets possession, but he cannot get past the last defender.
24'
PSG ramp up the pressure still. Cavani lets it slip towards Digne, who drills it into the box, but the defence holds sway. Poor from the champions, can they equalise?
22'
Really shock opening from the visitors, with their first chance at goal. Already they've broken the deadlock that PSG have been trying so adamantly for 22 minutes. Can they hold on?
20'
D. Congré has scored a goal for Montpellier!

16'
Chants of "Allez Paris" rings out, as PSG knock on Montpellier's door in this Coupe de France tie. They've dominated the early proceedings here at the Parc des Princes.
14'
MATUIDI!! Horrible effort. Should've been 1-0 that. Menez cuts open the defence, and seeks Van der Wiel on the edge. The Dutchman finds Matuidi in the centre, but he hoofs it well wide.
13'
Great delivery from Lucas. Corner meets the head of Marquinhos, who glances it wide, via the defender. Another corner for the champions, bt it is unsuccessful.
12'
Montpellier are blocked into their own half right now. Pastore central to most moves as Matuidi tees up Digne who makes a neat run. Turned behind for a corner by Daniel Congre.
10'
Goal for PSG, but it's ruled out for offside. But a rather controversial decision that. Pastore with a superb through ball for Digne, who rifles it home. But, the left-back was onside!
9'
Montpellier really under the cosh in the early stages as PSG break at speed. Lucas Moura hacked down by Jamel Saihi, and it's a free-kick for the hosts in a promising position.

3'
PSG turning up the heat already. Great shot from Lucas Moura by distance, but it is a good parry from Pionnier, at a decent height. Verratti attempts to connect with the loose ball in the area, but cannot get past Stambouli.
2'
Jeremy Menez bundled over by Camara, and the free kick is played forward by Pastore, towards Digne. But Laurent Pionnier claims possession of the ball.

Referee Olivier Thual gets us started at the Parc des Princes, in the final match of the last 32 of the Coupe de France.
Good evening and welcome to live coverage of the Coupe de France fixture between Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier HSC at the Parc de Princes in Paris. The 2013 champions of France face off against their predecessors in the last 32.
PSG meet Montpellier for the first time since the opening day of the 2013-14 season, when they tussled towards a 1-1 draw, with the capital club meeting expectations since, and their southern opponents languishing in 16th place.
The eight time winners of the Coupe de France are still competing in all four fronts. Top of Ligue 1, in the last 16 of the Champions League, and through to the semi-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue.
PSG meanwhile are expected to blow away the opposition, after that tumultuous 5-0 win over Nantes at the weekend - more than 900 passes made, with a 93% completion rate to totally dominate the Canaries.
Elsewhere in the Coupe de France, there has been a few notable talking points. Arch rivals Marseille continued their shocking defensive form, going down 4-5 at home to Nice, the first time they've conceded five at home since 1980.
The other big talking point was Monaco's 3-0 win over Chasselay earlier this evening. Falcao scored, but was stretchered off with what looked like a serious knee injury. Monaco have confirmed that he Colombia striker will undergo extensive tests to understand the nature of the injury, but the former Atletico star's World Cup dream is on the line.
