Match in Five Sentences: Marseille were beaten by Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at the Vélodrome. Ferran Torres opened the scoring in the 66th minute with a near-post header from Désiré Doué's delivery. Angel Gomes levelled for Les Olympiens (72.), but Marquinhos quickly restored the visitors' lead from close range (74.) and Tim Weah then received a second yellow and was sent off (77.). Paris Saint-Germain racked up 31 attempts, illustrating their control despite a busy night for Jeffrey de Lange. Paris Saint-Germain rise from 13th to 6th and host Le Mans next, while Les Olympiens drop from 10th to 17th and visit Troyes next.
Player of the Match: Ferran Torres came off the bench and headed the opener, adding two further efforts on goal to tilt the contest in Paris Saint-Germain's favour.
Stat of the Match: Nuno Mendes created five big chances, a constant supply line from left back.
Three Things We Learned: Les Phocéens finished with 10 men after a second-yellow dismissal, which blunted their late push. Jeffrey de Lange produced eight saves, keeping the margin narrow against sustained pressure. Amine Gouiri created four key passes and supplied the assist for Gomes's equaliser.
