Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores twice as PSG get 4-0 win at Leverkusen

Leverkusen: Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice as Paris Saint-Germain all but booked its place in the Champions League quarterfinals with a 4-0 away rout of 10-man Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday.

Blaise Matuidi got the visitors off to a flying start in the first leg of their round-of-16 tie by scoring in the third minute.

Ibrahimovic made it 2-0 with a penalty in the 39th, after Emir Spahic hauled down Ezequiel Lavezzi, and effectively killed the game three minutes later when he rifled a shot from outside the area into the top far corner for his 10th goal of the campaign.

Leverkusen had Spahic sent off for a second yellow card in the 59th, and PSG substitute Yohan Cabaye completed the rout in the 88th. The second leg is March 12 in Paris.
