Sinayoko scores a decisive hat-trick for Paris FC against OM

Sinayoko's hat-trick

An integration close to perfection. Recruited from Auxerre this summer, Lassine Sinayoko is hitting very hard at the start of the season. The Malian striker, a week after opening his account, scored a fantastic hat-trick this Sunday during Paris FC's victory against OM (2-3). “My very first as a professional. It has a very special flavor. We come from Paris, we do this in Marseille, there is nothing more beautiful” celebrated the person concerned at the Ligue 1 + microphone after the meeting. Ultra-effective in the last gesture, he knew how to put himself in a good position each time, at the heart of a drifting Marseille defense. To conclude his superb evening, he showed perfect composure to convert without trembling the winning penalty at the end of the match.

Pagis and Koleosho, a left side of fire

Sinayoko was lethal at the finish, but the Parisians were also able to rely on a left side in great shape. Like Luca Koleosho, untenable in a piston role. The Italian international mystified Aguerd on the opener and continued to make differences with the ball. Very enterprising, and sometimes whimsical, like his brilliant backheel which narrowly missed the target at the start of the second half. His understanding with Pablo Pagis was one of the strong points of the PFC. The former Lorient player showed constant accuracy in directing the game and serving his teammates. A decisive passer on the second goal, he then offered a caviar poorly negotiated by Kebbal at the very start of the second half.

Gouiri maintained the suspense

On the street in defense throughout the match, OM stayed alive in this match thanks to Amine Gouiri's double. Author of a first equalizer full of opportunism, after a big error from Chergui, the Marseille striker then scored a double, this time with a beautiful sequence in the heart of the Parisian area. Available to his teammates throughout the meeting. A big match despite the outcome of the match.

Harit as detonator

The other Amine from OM was also to his advantage. Returned to his right lane, Amine Harit showed real progress, after two lackluster performances against Strasbourg (4-0) then Monaco (2-0). Highly visible with the ball, he often provoked and created differences. Very active and decisive. His pressing caused Chergui's error on Gouiri's first goal, then he broke away to serve his teammate on the second Marseille equalizer. Irreproachable, we felt very touched after the final whistle.

FLOPS

OM defenseless

A staggering defensive feverishness. And very worrying. Trapped after only 23 seconds of play, the Marseille rearguard suffered martyrdom on each Parisian offensive. Geoffrey Kondogbia, catastrophic in Monaco, was absent, but the central hinge Nayef Aguerd-CJ Egan Riley hit rock bottom. The Moroccan international, much too soft on the opening score, showed no authority. Not yet physically ready. At his side, the Englishman confirmed that he did not have the qualities to perform at this level. Easily overtaken and often poorly positioned, he completed his work by causing the penalty for the Parisian victory, for a flying arm which did not escape the video. In their defense, the two men were never protected by a very weak midfielder. Himad Abdelli once again confirmed his very difficult start to the season.

Chergui guilty

We left him all smiles, after his (unexpected) goal scored against Nice last weekend (3-0). Samir Chergui did not experience the same evening at the Vélodrome. Once again associated with Coppola in the central hinge, the Algerian international himself caused Marseille's first equalizer, with a too crushed back pass towards Trapp. Guilty on this action, and late to counter Gouiri's sequence on the second Marseille goal. A very laborious performance, ultimately without consequence for the capital club.

Paixao too discreet

A magnificent free kick on the bar. And that's it. For his return to the Marseille left wing, Igor Paixao lacked influence and had great difficulty getting rid of the marking of Camara and the other Parisian defenders. A performance that was too neutral for the one who ultimately stayed on Canebière, at the end of a transfer window as long as it was difficult. OM will quickly need a more inspired Paixao.
