Ramos hat-trick as PSG thrash Briochin to reach French Cup semis

Paris St Germain's Goncalo Ramos scored a hat-trick to lead the French champions to a crushing 7-0 win over fourth-tier Stade Briochin in the Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday.

Joao Neves opened the scoring after 16 minutes when he pounced on a rebound off the crossbar to score at the far post. Ramos doubled the lead in the 36th minute with a close-range finish from Senny Mayulu's cross.

Ramos bagged his second from the penalty spot soon after the interval before setting up Desire Doue to make it 4-0.

Doue set up the Portuguese striker for his third goal and the 19-year-old also teed up Mayulu up for the sixth.

Substitute Ousmane Dembele struck a powerful shot to complete the rout five minutes from time, netting his first goal in the cup and 25th in all competitions this season.

Second-tier Dunkerque, who knocked out Lille on penalties in the previous round, secured their second big upset with a 3-2 win over Brest to reach the semis.
