The French football league has been in turmoil as Marseille thrashed Angers 2-1 at the Stade de France on Saturday night. The result was expected but it is certainly a shock for fans of both teams.
In the first half, Marseille had the better of possession and were able to create chances that would have led to goals. However, their best chance came in the 45th minute when they created a one-on-one with Anger's goalkeeper but failed to convert his save. This gave Marseille a lead after just 18 minutes.
It was not long before Marseille struck again. In the 66th minute, Payet scored the only goal of the game. His shot from outside the box hit the post and rebounded off the back of the net before being deflected into the bottom corner of the net by a teammate.
