Sochaux vs. PSG

Jérémy Clément, Clément Chantôme and Peguy Luyindula scored the other PSG goals and Sochaux's former PSG midfielder Stéphane Dalmat netted a consolation for the hosts.

Tunisian international Yassin Mikari had Sochaux's first chance and Grégory Coupet repelled the effort. PSG came more into the game and Sochaux suffered an injury blow midway through the first half when former PSV Eindhoven defender Jérémie Brechet was forced off and had to be replaced by Maxime Josse.

In the 35th minute Luyindula was one on one with the Sochaux goalkeeper and went down under the challenge of Teddy Richert. Monsieur Kalt awarded a penalty. Erding took the responsibility but Richert went the right way and made a terrific save, before blocking the follow-up from Christophe Jallet, only for Clément to at last force the ball over the line.

At the start of the second half the capital club maintained their upbeat tempo and Sessegnon and Luyindula could have extended their advantage. The second goal duly arrived ten minutes after the break. Midfielder Chantôme played a one-two with Christophe Jallet, shrugged off the challenge of Dalmat and calmly clipped the ball over Richert.

Erding finally got his goal and celebrated it in low-key fashion. Jallet's right-wing cross deflected off Sochaux defender Damien Perquis and Erding supplied a delicate near-post finish for his third Ligue 1 strike of the season in only his fifth game for PSG since his summer transfer.

Dalmat emulated Erding by scoring against his former club with a long-range effort that surprised Coupet. Straight from the ensuing kick-off PSG scored their fourth and final goal. Jallet played the ball towards Luyindula and the French international somehow managed to get the ball under control and hold off Perquis before beating Richert.
