AP - Ludovic Obraniak scored with a last-minute free kick as Lille beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 to win the French Cup for the sixth time, ending a 56-year trophy drought and taking the first step toward a domestic double.
Obraniak took the free kick way out near the right touchline and PSG goalkeeper Gregory Coupet made a terrible error as he watched the ball sail over his head and into the left corner.
Coupet saved Mathieu Debuchy’s penalty a minute later, but French league leader Lille held on to win its first trophy since 1955, when it also won the French Cup.
