Messi was inches away from making it 1-0 when his free-kick hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced out. PSG would finally get Lopez’s net to bulge on the stroke of half-time when Mbappé slipped the ball inside to Neymar. He steered a fine ninth goal of the campaign in off the post. Neymar tied Lille’s Jonathan David for the league lead in goals scored with nine when he guided Mbappe’s low cross beyond of Lopez’s grasp in stoppage time of the first half.

Marseille had a good spell at the start of the second half with Chancel Mbemba. Jonathan Clauss testing Donnarumma with efforts in quick succession. Mbemba – sent acrobatic attempt inches wide. Marco Verratti sent a shot straight into Lopez’s feet after breaking into the box. Achraf Hakimi was the next to try his luck, but his effort from a tight angle was tame (70′). OM went down to 10 men when Samuel Gigot was sent off for a tackle from behind on Neymar, in which he got none of the ball (72′). Marseille, to their immense credit, ran hard for the rest of the game, but that had little impact on the scoreline as PSG ran out 1-0 winners.
Pablo Sarabia was brought in to replace the Argentina attacker 10 minutes from the end after he had recovered from a minor calf injury layoff Although Marseille refused to give up, PSG dominated the tempo of the game and re-posed a danger via Sarabia before inflicting the visitors with their second straight Ligue 1 loss.
