Everyone, including the goalkeeper, are up for Orleans as they win a free-kick near the halfway line. The ball is floated into the penalty area from a long way out and kept alive by the hosts, as they win a corner. This is the last chance for them.
90'
Despite the lengthy stoppage stemming from Di Maria's injury, there will be just three minutes added on at the end of this match.
88'
PSG are looking a bit unsettled at the moment with everyone forward for Orleans. The hosts are working the ball around well in the final third, with some excellent movement behind the defence, but they have just been unable to pick out that decisive final ball.
84'
PSG eventually clear their lines following the free-kick and then a corner, but there's a real sense of belief in this ground. The hosts are sending everybody forward now in an attempt to find yet another equaliser!
82'
Juan Bernat gets yellow.
J. Tell enters the game and replaces A. Le Tallec.
Tell, an exciting youngster who has had a keen eye for goal this term, replaces Le Tallec for the final 10 minutes.
The hosts get in behind PSG down that right flank and Bernat commits a late foul. It's a free-kick in a dangerous area for Orleans, and a yellow for the full-back.
81'
M. Diaby has scored a goal for PSG! Assist by J. Draxler.
Draxler provides the assist, but Diaby really did that all on his own.
DIABY BREAKS ORLEANS HEARTS! 2-1! He's been on for all of a couple minutes and he's already broken the deadlock! It's an absolutely exquisite individual effort from Diaby who takes a pass from 25 yards out, bursts forward and gets through on goal courtesy of a lovely nutmeg, before applying a wonderful finish!
80'
Everyone is back in defence for the hosts now as they try and hold onto this result and send this match to penalties. Take note of the fact that there is no extra-time in the Coupe de la Ligue, so the hosts have just 10 minutes to get this game to penalties, where they really have a chance to win it.
78'
M. Diaby enters the game and replaces C. Nkunku.
PSG's final change sees Diaby come on at the expense of Nkunku, who has lacked sharpness in the final third in this match.
75'
M. D'Arpino enters the game and replaces T. Ephestion.
Orleans go to the bench for the first time tonight as D'Arpino comes on to replace Ephestion in midfield.

Description
73'
A quick switch of play leads to a chance for Alves, as PSG quickly try to restore their lead, but the full-back's first-time effort is blocked behind. There's a growing sense of optimism in the ground that there might be something special in store tonight!
71'
What an atmosphere this is! These fans are bouncing around in the stands as parity has been restored, setting things up for a terrific finish. PSG have been made to rue their missed opportunities, and it really is on a knife-edge now!
69'
J. Lopy has scored a goal for Orléans! Assist by D. Avounou.
AND THERE IT IS! 1-1! Out of absolutely nothing, Orleans are level! Lopy takes a simple pass in midfield and cuts inside onto his right, before driving a gorgeous strike beyond the reach of Buffon and in at the far post!
It was Avounou who provided the assist, but that was all in the finish from Lopy.
68'
Orleans' jaunt forward was not the start of a trend for them, as possession is firmly back with PSG who continue to play keep-away in midfield. Until they get that second goal, however, this one is far from over.
67'
Mbappe failed to find the back of the net in his four Coupe de la Ligue appearances last season.
63'
A much better spell here from the hosts, who get forward right on cue. They commit a number of men into attack, but are far too ponderous and hesitant with their passing as the opportunity amounts to nothing.
61'
Possession in this second half has been dominated by PSG to the tune of 80 per cent. They're all over the hosts who can't find a way out from the back right now, let alone an equaliser.
59'
K. Mbappé enters the game and replaces Á. Di María.
PSG smell blood as they look to put this one out of reach. Mbappe is brought on to replace the injured Di Maria.
58'
Bernat makes a wonderful run as he ghosts in behind the defence to get on the end of a cross in from the opposite flank, but just can't get the contact right at the far post. It almost looked as though he tried to take a touch instead of shooting first time, and Renault is able to deny him.
50'
One-way traffic early in this second half as PSG continue to force the issue as they up their pursuit of a second goal that would surely put this match out of reach. They remain on the front foot, with Orleans having to do some spirited last-ditch defending.
46'
G. Buffon enters the game and replaces A. Areola.
Underway in the second half!
PSG make a change at the break as Buffon comes on to replace Areola. There were no signs of an injury, so for now it's safe to assume this is nothing more than a coach's decision.
45' +1
HALF-TIME: ORLEANS 0-1 PSG.
44'
Tempers starting to flair as Pinaud fouls Di Maria, who gets right back up and into the face of the left-back, prompting the referee to intervene as a number of players flood in to have their say.
43'
Olle-Nicolle will be frustrated with his side for conceding so close to half-time, especially given how well they had played up to that point. It really does change the shape of this match now, though, as Orleans have a mighty hill to climb in the second half.
41'
E. Cavani has scored a goal for PSG! Assist by Á. Di María.
Good vision and even better execution from Di Maria to play Cavani through there, as he provides the assist.
PSG HAVE THE BREAKTHROUGH! 1-0! Cavani beats the offside trap as he gets on the end of a wonderfully dinked throughball from Di Maria, and he takes the chance first time, chipping Renault to break the deadlock!
34'
The intensity of this match is really picking up, and has continued to do so with Orleans consistently growing in belief. PSG have been sluggish all over the pitch. Could a shock be on the cards?
32'
Marquinhos catches Ephestion with a challenge eerily similar to the one Le Tallec was just booked for, but the PSG midfielder escapes without a caution. The home supporters are really liking what they've seen from their side through the opening half hour.
30'
A. Le Tallec gets yellow.
Le Tallec hunts down Thiago Silva in an attempt to win the ball back high up the pitch, but clips the heels of the defender from behind and is instead shown a yellow card.
29'
There's a bit more intent being shown now by PSG, as they attack with a bit of pace. Choupo-Moting tries to slide Draxler through again, but a strong intervention breaks up the chance before Nkunku can't control a pass and the ball rolls behind for a goal kick.
23'
Scuffed wide! All of the success Orleans have had going forward tonight has come down the left flank, and they're presented with another opportunity as a cross comes all the way through for Ziani, but the winger lashes a first-time effort well wide of the far post.
21'
Nkunku is presented with a shooting chance at the edge of the penalty area as the ball drops in his path following an only partially cleared corner, but his first-time effort is blocked. It was awfully congested there in the penalty area.
19'
Much of the same at Stade de la Source as PSG struggle to find any sort of rhythm in attack. They have been unable to pick out a good forward ball, with Orleans remaining completely untroubled at the back.
15'
PSG have settled things down again as they've got a stranglehold on possession, but it's all coming in harmless areas near the halfway line, with Orleans doing well to organise themselves.
13'
Perhaps motivation is proving something of an issue for PSG, who have generated nothing of note since that early chance inside the first minute. Perhaps a goal for the hosts will wake them up?
11'
Another good chance! Well it's Orleans who are showing all the attacking desire at the moment! Another opportunity following a cross in from the left falls for Le Tallec, but he hooks his volley wide of the far post!
9'
The desire possessed by Orleans has been quite encouraging from a neutral perspective in these opening stages, as they have shown a hunger to get forward and attack, not just sit back and let PSG attack at will.
5'
Orleans respond with a counter, urged forward by their passionate supporters. A good ball in from the left finds the head of Le Tallec, but the striker gets the contact all wrong as it comes to nothing.
3'
As expected, it's PSG who are dominating here from the off, dictating possession as they work the ball around in the attacking half. Everyone is back defending for the hosts.
1'
AND THEY'RE OFF! PSG are in all white as they get the match underway, with Orleans in yellow and black.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of this Coupe de la Ligue match as Orleans welcome PSG to Stade de la Source for this last-16 tie!
This is a competition PSG have absolutely dominated in recent memory, winning the last five editions while hardly breaking a sweat, with Orleans yet to ever reach a Coupe de la Ligue final.
PSG are playing a Coupe de la Ligue match for the first time today since lifting the trophy on the final day of March, hammering Monaco 3-0, and they come into the match on a high following a convincing win in Belgrade to book their place in the knockout stage of the Champions League.
Following a relegation scare towards the end of the 2016-17 season, Orleans rebounded with a mid-table finish last season and they’re continuing their climb as they look to work their way towards the top flight.
They won six in a row in the league earlier this season, but have taken a turn for the worst in recent weeks with just one point from their last six as they come into this match with the French giants in pretty poor form.
CONFIRMED TEAM NEWS:
ORLEANS (4-2-3-1): Thomas Renault; Gauthier Pinaud, Gabriel Mutombo Kupa, Steeve Furtado, Thomas Ephestion; Pierre Bouby, Durel Avounou; Joseph Lopy, Karim Ziani, Mame Ousmane Cissokho; Anthony Le Tallec.
SUBS: Quentin Lecoeuche, Jordan Tell, Gauthier Gallon, Armand Lauriente, Maxime D'Arpino, Cedric Cambon, Gaetan Perrin.
PSG (3-4-3): Alphonse Areola; Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Presnel Kimpembe; Dani Alves, Julian Draxler, Christopher Nkunku, Juan Bernat; Angel Di Maria, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Edinson Cavani.
SUBS: Kylian Mbappe, Thomas Meunier, Layvin Kurzawa, Thilo Kehrer, Moussa Diaby, Kevin Rimane, Gianluigi Buffon.
Despite coasting through much of the first half, PSG lead thanks to Edinson Cavani's opener just before the interval. The defending champions have not looked at all their best, but are perhaps a bit unlucky not to be further ahead with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting denied a great chance early on, while Julian Draxler also hit the post.
Orleans have threatened themselves, carving out a few good opportunities, but they've lacked composure at the decisive moments and that has prevented them from taking their chances. They should have some belief following that display, however, and will likely have a real go at an equaliser in the second half.
That's all for our live coverage, thanks for following along. Goodbye!
