Header and to collect: Goal by Marquinhos for PSG's 1-0 against Strasbourg.

PSG only needed 15 minutes to score the 1-0 against Racing de Strasbourg in the match corresponding to matchday 16 of Ligue 1. Brazilian international Marquinhos, who played in the last World Cup, took advantage of a great assist from Neymar to score the opening goal of the night at Parc des Princes.

The play started after a foul near the visitors' area. Without thinking twice, 'Ney' took the ball and prepared to execute the action. The '10' sent the ball into Strasbourg's six-yard box, where Marquinhos was under the mark of his opponents.

However, with a lot of experience and skill, the Brazilian defender managed to anticipate and subtly head the ball into the center of the goal, leaving Marz Sels with no chance to react for the 1-0 in favor of PSG.
