Champions League - PSG complete confortable aggregate win over Leverkusen

                         Bayer Leverkusen's Stefan Reinartz (L) challenges Paris St Germain's Javier Pastore during their Champions League round of 16 second leg soccer match at the Parc des Princes Stadium (Reuters)                                   
PSG progressed to the Champions League quarter finals with a 2-1 victory against Bayer Leverkusen.
Leverkusen gave themselves hope with a goal on six minutes, when Sidney Sam headed in a Giulio Donati cross from the right wing. Hope promptly disappeared when Marquinhos thundered in a header from a corner seven minutes later.
There was another chance for the German side when Christophe Jallet conceded a penalty, pulling back Eren Derdiyok in the box. Rolfes struck his penalty firmly, but it was an easy save for Salvatore Sirigu to beat away.

Either side of the penalty, PSG had chances as Zlatan Ibrahimovic hit the bar, and Edinson Cavani shot against Bernd Leno from point blank range.
PSG went ahead on 53 minutes when Lucas Digne pulled the ball back for Lavezzi to take one touch to finish at the near post.
Bayer responded by going close with shots from Donati and Derdiyok, both bringing saves from Sirigu, but the match essentially ended when Emre Can performed an obvious dive and received a second yellow card, allowing PSG an easy finish.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      posted by Emanto Ngaloru  March 12, 2014.
