Doue dazzles, Dembele assists as PSG cruises past amateur opposition. Ramos doubles the lead, securing a dominant French Cup victory.

In the round of 64 of the 2025/2026 Coupe de France, Paris Saint-Germain traveled to Nantes to face Vendee Fontenay Foot (National 3) and won 4-0 without breaking a sweat, with Doue and Dembele putting Paris in a comfortable position from the first period. Ramos widened the score with a double, and PSG finished 2025, a historic year, with a fine victory.

In a packed Beaujoire stadium, VFF kicked off and played the long ball, without success. Paris immediately took control of the ball and tried to build up play (2nd minute). The hosts were very aggressive and disrupted the Parisians in the early part of the match (5th minute). The Parisians had a good first offensive, but it came to nothing in the final action (9th minute). Dembele surged down the right wing and crossed. Ramos headed the ball; he was slightly impeded, but it went over the bar (11th minute).

Isolated on the left, Doue showed his skills and won a good free kick, which came to nothing, and the first corner was for the hosts, poorly taken (15th minute). After receiving several knocks in a short time, Boly stayed down and complained of an ankle injury (20th minute). But still no card... The free kick was taken by Zabarnyi, but was cleared (22nd minute). PSG opened the scoring: a superb through pass from Dembele to Doue, he controlled it and then placed his shot low along the ground (0-1, 25th minute).

The first bad news for PSG: the young Boly had to come off, too battered physically after numerous fouls received (29th minute). Neves replaced him. From a quickly taken corner, Doue was found in the box and shot hard with his left foot, it was deflected for a corner. From the resulting corner, Ramos managed to battle well in the box and won a penalty (33rd minute). Dembele stepped up and shot hard and low (0-2, 34th minute).

Paris had done the hard part, but Ndjantou was also injured... Mayulu also missed a pass for a 3-0 to Doue (37th minute). Paris largely had the match under control and continued to attack, but VFF hung on (43rd minute). Dembele played an incredible pass with his left foot, and Neves attempted a difficult volley which did not hit the target (45th+1 minute). At halftime, Paris was logically ahead.

Right from the start of the second half, Jangeal replaced Ndjantou, who was also injured, and the match resumed, with the substitute making an immediate impact by winning a corner (48th minute). On a counterattack, Keita managed to get into the PSG box, but he was pushed by Hernandez and shot wide (48th minute). Jangeal was in the thick of the action again in a combination with Doue, but his shot was blocked (50th minute). After a dazzling solo run from Doue, Ramos was served, but a local defender cleared off the line (52nd minute).

Paris scored a third goal in the ensuing play: Mayulu was played out wide on the right, he crossed into the six-yard box for Ramos, who scored from close range (0-3, 53rd minute). Immediately afterwards, Doue had fun on a counter, but his shot was saved by the goalkeeper (56th minute). Ramos scored a double in the next move. He lingered behind the defense, received a cutback in front of the goalkeeper, dribbled past him, and scored (0-4, 58th minute).

Luis Enrique took off all his stars, and the match continued (61st minute). The match was effectively over, and PSG enjoyed themselves against exhausted amateurs. Nsoki tried to find a teammate at the far post with a very clever cross, but the goalkeeper read the situation well (76th minute). The end of the match was uneventful, and a corner from Fontenay came to nothing (84th minute). A shot from Fontenay forced Marin to dive, and he made an impeccable save (85th minute).

Nsoki was released down the left by Jangeal, he played the ball into the box to Ramos, who had time to control and shoot, but it was completely tame (88th minute). Enzo Renou managed to get past Beraldo and then challenged Marin, but his shot was miscued, and the Brazilian collected the ball (92nd minute).
