On Sunday night, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) continued their impressive run in the French Ligue 1 by defeating Marseille 2-0 at the Parc des Princes Stadium. The victory was PSG's sixth straight win in all competitions and moved them to within two points of league leaders Lyon.
The match got off to a slow start as both teams struggled to create any real chances. However, PSG took control of the game in the second half when they were awarded a penalty for handball. Neymar stepped up to take the spot-kick and sent the keeper the wrong way, giving PSG the lead.
Marseille came back strong in the second half and created several good chances to level the scores. However, it was PSG who broke the deadlock again just before full-time when Lionel Messi found space on the left-hand side of the box and fired home from close range.
The result means that PSG will go into next week's round of fixtures with a comfortable lead over their nearest rivals. They will now face Lyon in their next game, which is sure to be a tough test given the form they have been in this season.
In addition to the goals scored by Messi and Mbappe, PSG also had a solid performance from their defence, which kept Marseille at bay throughout the match. It was a well-deserved win for PSG, and one that could put them in a strong position going into the rest of the season.
