Paris FC beats OM 3-2 at the Vélodrome and climbs to 2nd place in Ligue 1

Paris FC learns quickly. Overtaken last year at the Vélodrome (5-2 defeat), the Parisian club, present in the elite for its second season, offered itself a prestigious victory on Sunday September 6 at the Marseillais (3-2), at the end of the third day of Ligue 1. The Parisians signed their second consecutive victory, after their clear success against Nice last week (3-0), and climbed to 2nd step in the ranking.

Like their offensive festival against the Aiglons, Liam Rosenior's players quickly shook the nets against an OM team that was too fragile defensively. Lassine Sinayoko, who arrived from Auxerre at the end of July, iced the Vélodrome in the 23rd second of play, taking advantage of an error by the Marseille defense to open the scoring. Amine Gouiri quickly equalized (8th) and OM put their foot on the ball, but without making the difference. Worse, the Marseillais were punished on a corner, where Lassine Sinayoko scored a double with a header (19th).

De Lange, several times decisive

Before the break and after returning from the locker room, the score could have increased significantly for Bruno Genesio's players, who could count on his goalkeeper Jeffrey de Lange, author of several saves. The Parisians Pablo Pagis, another summer recruit, Luca Koleosho, and Ilan Kebbal were very dangerous.

OM thought they were holding the draw when Amine Gouiri scored a double to bring his team level (53rd): he took advantage of a favorable counterattack to hit a volley from the right. The meeting then remained undecided for a long time, with opportunities on both sides. But as the end of regulation time approached, Marseillais CJ Egan-Riley deflected a shot from Moses Simon with his arm. After watching the video, Clément Turpin announced to the public that he was awarding a penalty to the PFC, which was responsible for transforming... Lassine Sinayoko.

Amine Gouiri tried to respond in his long-distance duel against the Malian striker. In vain. With this second defeat in a row, after that against Monaco (2-0), Marseille is sinking and is now 10th in the Ligue 1 standings. "It comes down to details. And we are not yet at the top in terms of details", admitted Marseillais Amine Harit, at the Ligue 1+ microphone. "But no one is cheating. Everyone is 100%, everyone is running. We are going to turn our backs, work and reverse the trend," promised the Moroccan international. The Marseillais' next trip to Rennes already promises to be perilous.
