Striker Moussa Maazou scored in extra time as Monaco beat Lens 1-0 and reached the French Cup final.

Nene had already missed a penalty in Tuesday's match when Maazou broke the deadlock in the 110th minute to end stubborn resistance from Lens at Stade Louis II.

Nene crossed from the left and Maazou headed powerfully past goalkeeper Vedran Runje.

Monaco was awarded a penalty early in the second half and Nene scored. But when referee Stephane Bre ordered him to take it again, he blasted the ball over the crossbar.

Monaco plays either Paris Saint-Germain or amateur side Quevilly in the final. They play on Wednesday.
