Star who said he wants Sporting assists in win over Marseille (2-0) | OneFootball

Monaco beat Marseille 2-0 at home in the second round of Ligue 1 and moved clear at the top of the French league, with six points from two matches. Eric Dier, a defender who admitted he wants to return to Sporting, provided an assist.

Paris Brunner was the standout player of the match, scoring both goals for the side coached by Filipe Luís. The German forward opened the scoring in the 13th minute, rising highest in the box to head in an Aleksandr Golovin cross.

In the second half, Brunner made the difference again with a brilliant individual moment. After receiving a long pass from Eric Dier, the striker cut in from the right, left Geoffrey Kondogbia and Egan-Riley behind, and fired a low shot into the bottom-left corner, giving Jeffrey de Lange no chance.

Flávio Nazinho also stood out, playing the full 90 minutes for Monaco. The Portuguese left-back, who came through Sporting’s academy, seems to be gaining ground in the pecking order and establishing himself as the first-choice option at the start of the season.

With this win, Monaco move onto six points and sit at the top of Ligue 1. In the next round, the principality side will face a stern test as they travel to Paris Saint-Germain. Marseille, meanwhile, with three points, are in eighth place and will host Paris FC in the next round.
