Match Summary

Sinayoko scored again in the 19th minute after Pablo Pagis set him up, and Paris FC carried the lead into half-time.

Marseille needed a response and got one. Amine Harit found Gouiri in the 53rd minute for the striker's second goal, and the score was level again.

Key Moments

Those opening exchanges mattered because they put Marseille on the back foot at home. The hosts equalized once, then fell behind again, and from that point they were chasing rather than dictating.

Gouiri's second goal after the break looked like a platform for a point. The late penalty removed it. With little time remaining, Marseille could not recover a third time, and Sinayoko's hat-trick became the difference in a match the home side largely controlled on the ball.

Match Statistics

Marseille enjoyed 61 percent of the ball and took five corners to Paris FC's four. The shot count told a different tale. Paris FC attempted 18 shots to 13 and put seven on target against five. Discipline was quiet: two yellow cards for the visitors, none for Marseille, and no red cards.

After two Ligue 1 matches, Paris FC are fifth with four points and a goal difference of plus three. Marseille sit ninth on three points from two games, with a goal difference of plus two.
