In a surprising turn of events, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) managed to secure a convincing victory against Marseille, even without their star player, Kylian Mbappe, who was sidelined due to injury.
The match saw PSG’s right-wing players taking center stage in the scoring department. In the 8th minute, Achraf Hakimi showcased his skills by scoring directly from a free-kick, giving PSG an early lead. Hakimi continued to impress, hitting the post with a powerful long-range shot, which opened up an opportunity for Kolo Muani to further extend PSG’s lead.
As the second half kicked off, Goncalo Ramos, who had stepped in as a replacement for the injured Mbappe, demonstrated his scoring prowess by netting two goals for PSG. This stellar performance contributed to PSG’s resounding 4-0 victory over their rivals, Marseille.
With this win, PSG not only bested Marseille but also leapfrogged Monaco to claim the 3rd spot in the rankings. Both teams had amassed 11 points, but PSG’s superior goal difference secured their higher position, leaving them just two points behind league leaders Brest.
In their upcoming fixture, PSG is scheduled to face Clermont on September 30th. Following their impressive 4-star victory, Coach Enrique has granted his players an extra day of rest before resuming training, allowing them to savor their well-deserved triumph and prepare for the challenges ahead.
