Cabaye fires PSG to victory over Inter Milan

MARRAKECH, Morocco: French champions Paris Saint-Germain finished 2014 with a victory as a second half goal from Yohan Cabaye handed them a narrow 1-0 victory over Serie A side Inter Milan on Tuesday in Morocco.
In a prestige friendly, held in the North African country recently stripped of the right to host the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, PSG coach Laurent Blanc made numerous changes at the Grand Stade in front of some 30,000 supporters.
Former Newcastle favourite Cabaye grabbed the only goal of the match on 57 minutes when he converted following sustained pressure from the capital club.
Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani was a notable absentee and given an extended winter break while talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic was given a chance to prove his return to fitness and lasted the full 90 minutes.
PSG are currently third in Ligue 1, but only three points behind leaders and arch rivals Marseille, while they also have a key Champions League last-16 tie against Chelsea looming large in February.
Their next competitive match is against 2012 Ligue 1 champions Montpellier in the French Cup on January 5.
