PARIS (AP) " Monaco scraped into the League Cup final on Wednesday, beating Nancy 1-0 after top scorer Radamel Falcao was gifted a goal in first-half stoppage time. Monaco will face Paris Saint-Germain in the final in Lyon on April 1. Although free-scoring Monaco has scored 91 goals in 35 games overall this season, this was one of its more disjointed performances. The French league leader struggled to break down a well-organized Nancy side and did not threaten until late in the first half. PSG thumped Bordeaux 4-1 away on Tuesday, with winger Angel Di Maria and striker Edinson Cavani scoring two each.
