All the while… Marseille is recovering! Marthelino’s team seems to be recovering after the shocking elimination by Panathinaikos, continuing victoriously in Ligue 1. The “Fokaeis” beat Brest 2-0 at the “Velodrome” and now share the top of the league with Monaco, counting seven points.
Finally a victory for Paris, who comfortably and with the spirit of a champion beat Lance 3-1 at the “Parc des Princes” with Mbappe scoring twice.
At the Velodrome, it took four minutes for Marseille to take the lead against Brest when, following a free-kick by Veretou, Mbeba opened the scoring with a perfect header. The visitors pressed hard and from 24′ to 30′ they missed great opportunities to equalize with Meunier, Kamara and Le Duaron.
The home team took advantage of Brest’s failure and in the 65th minute Sarr made it 2-0, sealing the victory.
In Paris, Luis Enrique’s side broke the Gordian tie against Lance just before half-time with Asensio beating Saba to make it 1-0. In the second half, Mbappe doubled the goals for Paris with a strong shot, while in the 90+1′ the Frenchman, after an assist from Ruith, made it 3-0.
The only thing Lance managed to achieve was the goal of honor in the exhalation with Shotoka feeding Gilavogi and he after passing Donnarumma made the final 3-1.
