MATCH EVENT
0' 7th vs 6th in Ligue 1 to close out Matchday 6. OM would be 2nd with a win, PSG 3rd or 4th.
Marseille won just 1 of their last 6 games which surprisingly enough was against the current leader of Ligue 1 Uber Eats, Stade Brestois. They lost against Panathinaikos and drew the other 4 latest games. Kondogbia, Harit, Ndiaye move to the bench/stands compared to the starting 11 vs Ajax and Vitinha, Veretout, Balerdi came into it.
PSG defeated Dortmund with 2-0 at home during midweek but lost their last Ligue 1 match with 2-3 vs OGC Nice. Barcola replaces Vitinha in the PSG starting 11, that's the only change compared to the match vs BVB. Kang-in Lee has been subbed on Tuesday, today he is not in the squad due to the Asian Games.
6' 5 minutes are over and the ball has barely been in PSG's half yet.
8' GOOOOOOOOAAAL by Achraf Hakimi. And what a goal that is, a free-kick from about 20 meters from the right side is curled into the top corner by Achraf Hakimi. video
12' 1st chance for Marseille. After a long ball they have lots of space, Clauss passes the ball to Vitinha who attempts a shot from short distance but Marquinhos comes sliding in to block the shot.
15' Mbappé leaves the pitch (again), he has injury struggles ever since that foul that led to the free-kick which was scored by Hakimi.
17' Mbappé is back on the pitch and PSG play a corner through 2 intermediate stops back to their goalkeeper Donnarumma.
22' Big chance for Marseille! It's again Vitinha who heads a perfect cross from Jonathan Clauss onto the upper side of the crossbar. The play was initiated from Ounahi who played a great long pass to Clauss.
31' Mbappe now definitely leaves the pitch due to ankle problems, no bench player came on so far, but one will soon.
32' Substitution: Gonçalo Ramos on, Kylian Mbappé Lottin off.
37' GOAL by Randal Kolo Muani. Barcola runs to the middle and passes the ball to Hakimi who shoots from over 20 meters. His shot hits the post from where it goes onto Pau López legs which stop the ball from bouncing further away from goal, Kolo Muani who ran after the ball shoots it into the empty net. video
Half Time
46' Substitutions: Iliman Ndiaye on, Amine Harit on, Vitinha (Marseille) off, Azzedin Ounahi off
47' GOOOOOOOOAAAL by Gonçalo Ramos. Ousmane Dembélé fires in a cross and Ramos somehow heads the ball from this far from easy to take cross directly into the goal. It's the first goal for Gonçalo for Paris and also the 1st goal contribution for Ousmane with his new club. video
53' Hakimi gets fouled from Balerdi in exactly the same spot where Mbappé was fouled for the 1st goal, Hakimi will have another try...
54'...This time he tries it with a low shot which is slightly deflected from the wall and therefore off target.
58' Kolo Muani shoots from short range but Mbemba blocks the shot.
69' Substitutions: Danilo Pereira on, Fabián Ruiz on, Lucas Hernández off, Ousmane Dembélé off.
72' Good chance for Marseille. A free-kick comes in Balerdi lays it off for Mbemba who misses the target.
73' Yellow card for Samuel Gigot, the first card of this game.
75' Substitution: Joaquín Correa on, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang off. Aubameyang stays at zero Ligue 1 goals for Marseille.
82' Yellow card for Jordan Veretout.
82' Substitutions: Nordi Mukiele on, Carlos Soler on, Achraf Hakimi off, Bradley Barcola off. The MOTM leaves the pitch and Mukiele celebrates his comeback after a long break.

85' Yellow card for Renan Lodi.
89' GOOOOOOOOAAAL by Gonçalo Ramos. It's a brace! PSG counter, Kolo Muani outpaces Veretout and passes the ball to the center where Ramos stays calm and puts it past Pau López.
