Marseille boss highlights team’s growing maturity | OneFootball

The Olympique de Marseille continued their good run by defeating Metz 3-0, with a standout performance from Brazilian Igor Paixão, who helped Roberto De Zerbi's team to provisionally take the lead in Ligue 1 during the 7th round.

The goals only came in the second half, but as soon as Paixão, formerly of Coritiba, opened the scoring at 51 minutes, the visitors took control of the match, quickly extending their lead with goals from Danish Matt O’Riley (69′) and Algerian Amine Gouiri (76′).

De Zerbi values team's maturity

With 15 points, OM is ahead of Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon, who have the same number of points but a lower goal difference, before their respective Ligue 1 matches on Sunday.

Positive moment under De Zerbi's command

Metz remains at the bottom, with only two points, still winless in the competition.

Igor Paixão establishes himself as a standout

The Brazilian Igor Paixão, 25 years old, who had scored two goals midweek in the thrashing against Ajax in the Champions League (4-0), has solidified himself as the star of Olympique de Marseille's attack, with a shot that deflected off defender Sadibou Sané and ended up in the back of the net.
