There were two disallowed goals in the first half, but the most remarkable moment of the match came in the 73rd minute. While Lionel Messi was on his way to the goal of Olympique Marseille in a dribble, suddenly a supporter of the home team in sneakers was chasing him.
The match was stopped and the fan was taken away by the stewards. Paris Saint-Germain fans weren’t welcome in Marseille, but it was another grim night in the gritty port city in the south of France. Neymar was pelted several times when he took his corner kicks. There is a good chance that Marseille will soon have to play temporarily in an empty Stade Vélodrome, because the club has been warned regularly by the French Football Association in recent months. There was again a large audience in the stands tonight.
In the first there were two disallowed goals. Marseille defender Luan Peres first worked the ball into his own goal after fifteen minutes, but the Brazilian got away well. In the twentieth minute, the Polish striker Arek Milik (ex-Ajax and Napoli) thought to make the 1-0 for Olympique Marseille, but that party was canceled either. PSG were with ten men from the 57th minute, after Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi received a direct red card.
Paris Saint-Germain are the leaders in Ligue 1 with 28 points after 11 games. The pursuers RC Lens (21 points), OGC Nice (19 points), Olympique Marseille and Stade Rennais (18 points) are already well behind the team of Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine coach let Georginio Wijnaldum come in for Neymar in the 83rd minute.
