PARIS (AP) – Neymar was involved in all three goals as Paris Saint-Germain cruised past Reims 3-0 on Wednesday to set up a League Cup final against Lyon.

The home side had a player sent off with about 20 minutes left but PSG was already 2-0 up in the semifinal by then.

Brazil center half Marquinhos rose well near the back post to head in Neymar's floating corner from the right in the ninth minute.

For the next goal, Neymar whipped in a free kick from the left which eluded the head of Marquinhos before being turned into the net by defender Ghislain Konan for an own goal in the 31st.
