PSG set up a Coupe de la Ligue final against Lille after Ezequiel Lavezzi and Angel Di Maria scored in a 2-0 victory against Toulouse.

Ezequiel Lavezzi and Angel Di Maria scored second-half goals as title-holder Paris Saint-Germain beat Toulouse 2-0 to secure its place in the Coupe de la Ligue final for the third season running.

A 12th successive victory for PSG sets a new club record, but Laurent Blanc's men toiled for much of the semifinal and relied on some superb last-gasp defending to keep Toulouse out.

Lavezzi put the home side into the lead at the Parc des Princes after 65 minutes, rolling the ball into an open goal after goalkeeper Mauro Goicoechea had blocked his initial shot, with Di Maria's fine individual effort sealing the win seven minutes later.
