PSG needed penalties to beat Montpellier on Wednesday, though Monaco got the job done in the allotted 90 minutes, with Cesc Fabregas delivering a star turn.
Monaco had to come from behind after Alexis Peuget s fine opener, but Arthur Bozon s calamitous own goal and Aurelien Tchouameni s header put Niko Kovac s team in control.
Wissam Ben Yedder s 21st goal of the season dashed any lingering comeback hopes, and Rumilly Vallieres incredible run came to an end with a whimper as Fabregas – who provided two assists – curled in an exquisite free-kick before Aleksandr Golovin finished things off.
Eager to make the most of an unprecedented opportunity, Rumilly Vallieres had their reward for a bright start in the 20th minute.
