A day after signing a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain, leading man Edinson Cavani turned in his 45th goal of the season with a well-timed backheel in the Coupe de France semi-final.
Wednesday's tilt against a second-string Monaco side immediately favoured the four-time defending Ligue 1 champion, and after Julian Draxler opened the scoring, Cavani gave PSG a commanding 2-0 lead with remarkable ease.
