LE MANS, France — Brazilian winger Nene and striker Kevin Gameiro scored two goals each as Paris Saint-Germain beat amateur side Sable FC 4-0 to reach the last 16 of the French Cup.
Sable, which plays four divisions below PSG, started brightly but struggled after Nene put PSG ahead with a penalty in the 36th minute.
"It’s a good result. The first half was a bit complicated because we tried to play too much one-touch football. I wasn’t happy with that," Ancelotti said. "I was much happier in the second half when we played well on the counter attack."
Winger Jeremy Menez set up Gameiro for his first goal in the 65th, and Gameiro ran onto a through ball from Nene to make it 3-0 in the 73rd, taking his season’s tally to 12.
Nene scored with a clinical finish in injury time, but missed the chance for a hat trick in the last seconds.
PSG midfielder Javier Pastore, the French record signing at C42 million ($60 million), limped off with a thigh injury in the first half.
"Pastore has a problem, we will know more in the next few days," Ancelotti said.
