990 Europe .The win moves PSG up to second place, level on points and on
goal difference with bitter rival Marseille, while Saint-Etienne remains in
fourth spot.The whole team did well and were starting to play the right away
again. The team spirits improved and weve won four (games in a row), PSG
midfielder Blaise Matuidi said. Were still within touching distance and thats a
good thing, because its very important not to let Lyon get too far ahead of us.
Weve beaten Saint-Etienne three times this season, so that shows that PSGs not
finished.Ibrahimovic was kept quiet until the second half, when his 60th-minute
spot-kick finally broke Saint-Etiennes stubborn resistance. It was awarded after
midfielder Jeremy Clement was adjudged to have handled the ball, with replays
showing it struck him just at the top of his right arm.As he was preparing to
take the kick, Ibrahimovic removed some debris thrown onto the pitch and
composed himself before shooting hard to the left of goalkeeper Stephane
Ruffier, who almost got his fingers to the ball.Moments earlier, Ruffier saved
with his legs after Ibrahimovic latched on to a fine pass from midfielder Marco
Verratti and tried to clip the ball over him.Ibrahimovic, who scored the winning
goal away to Saint-Etienne in the League Cup quarterfinals two weeks ago, missed
a chance to make it 2-0 in the 70th when he rushed his shot and his strike
partner Edinson Cavani hit the crossbar with a neat lob five minutes
later.However, Ibrahimovic was lucky not to be sent off in injury time for going
in late and high on Romain Hamouma with a wild and dangerous lunge, escaping
with a yellow card.Saint-Etienne lamented the penalty decision but failed to hit
the target once.Earlier, Lacazette scored his league-leading 21st goal of the
season to put Lyon ahead in the 31st minute — his 13th goal in the past nine
games — and then hurt his right hamstring two minutes later as he stretched for
a high ball.Lyon coach Hubert Fournier expects him to miss at least next Sundays
trip to fifth-place Monaco, with Lyon hosting PSG the following weekend.Alex has
probably pulled a muscle, Fournier said. Its the only negative point of the
afternoon.Midfielder Corentin Tolisso — one of eight homegrown players in the
side — added the other goal with a fine dipping strike in the 84th.Argentine
defender Guidi Milan was sent off as the last man when he fouled Rachid Ghezzal,
who went over under slight contact.Also, Evian beat fellow struggler Toulouse
1-0; Caen moved above Lens and into 18th place after a morale-boosting 4-1 win
at Rennes, and Lens drew 0-0 at Reims.

In their first meeting for six years, the Frenchmen dropped serve twice in the
first set, but Giquel broke Simon two more times in the second. Gicquel moves on
to face sixth-seeded Jarkko Nieminen of Finland, who advanced with a 7-6 (5),
7-6 (5) win against wild card Pierre-Hugues Herbert, despite the Frenchmans 23

edged the Toronto Marlies 3-2 on Sunday in American Hockey League action.Matias
Laba is headed to the Vancouver Whitecaps. After reports emerged on Tuesday that
the Toronto FC midfielder would head to Vancouver on loan, the team confirmed on
Wednesday that they had, in fact, traded for the Argentine designated player.
Toronto will receive future considerations. Laba came to Toronto last season
from Argentinos Juniors and started all 16 of his appearances with the club last
term. With the acquisitions of a trio of designated players this offseason in
Brazilian striker Gilberto, American international midfielder Michael Bradly and
striker Jermain Defoe of Tottenham, TFC had one more dessignated player than the
three allowed by Major League Soccer rules and Laba was the odd man out.

Whitecaps manager Carl Robinson, a former TFC midfielder himself, believes that
Laba can help the Vancouver midfield immediately. "Matias is a promising young
talent and we are excited to have him join our club," said Robinson in a
statement. "He is a hard, aggressive player who brings a lot of energy to the
pitch and although he is only 22, he is a natural leader on the field." The
Whitecaps open up the MLS regular season on March 8 at home against New York Red
Bulls.
