Neymar capped off an exquisite build-up sequence from a couple of his Paris Saint-Germain teammates with an early first-half goal against AS Saint-Etienne in the Coupe de France final.
The goal was thanks to a quick one-touch passing sequence by Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria. The Frenchman patrolled into the half-space and dished off a pass to a waiting Di Maria. Mbappe received the return pass and sped on by into the penalty box for a shot attempt.
Mbappe was not able to finish the solo attempt but Neymar was there to slot in the tap-in score.
