PSG seeks to stay at the top of Ligue 1 and must defeat Marseille in the new edition of Le Classique. The match was very even, but the Parisians managed to break the parity just before halftime: Kylian Mbappé received the ball in the area and assisted Neymar for the 1-0 lead.
Referee Clément Turpin had added three minutes to the first half at Parc des Princes and the initial seconds were underway. At that moment, 'Les Minots' were trying to come out from their own field with a combination of passes and Jordan Veretout, with a turn, eluded Vitinha's mark.
However, the PSG Portuguese player ended up keeping the ball: Marco Verratti appeared and made the ball bounce. Immediately, the former Porto player assisted Kylian Mbappé on the left, inside the area, and the Frenchman, surprising the Marseille defense, did not choose the individual finish.
'Kiki' made a short pass to the penalty spot and there appeared Neymar, free, to inflate the nets. Goalkeeper Pau López tried to react, but the Brazilian's shot was very precise and went in next to the post.
If Paris Saint-Germain manages to secure their victory, they will add 29 points and will again be the sole leader of Ligue 1 2022-23, leaving Lorient behind with 26 points. Meanwhile, Olympique de Marseille will accumulate their second consecutive defeat and will remain in fourth place, with only 23 points, complicating their chance to fight for the title.
