Paris Saint-Germain beat Marseille 2-0 in the Ligue 1 round 12 match on Wednesday night, with goals from Lionel Messi and Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappé. The victory was a major blow for Marseille, who were looking to bounce back from their defeat against Monaco last week.
Marseille had been in good form earlier this season, but they were unable to break through against PSG in their previous encounter. However, it was clear that they needed to improve their defensive play if they were to succeed in the league.
The first half saw both teams struggle to find the net, but it was not until halftime when PSG broke the deadlock. With just over ten minutes left in the first half, Neymar found the bottom corner of the penalty area, but his effort was saved by Marseille goalkeeper Jean-Louis Kourouah.
In the second half, both sides struggled to maintain possession, but it was only when PSG went ahead that things started to look promising. Kylian Mbappé scored from a free-kick, and he added another goal in the 85th minute to make it 2-0.
The win was a huge boost for PSG, who have now won four straight games in Ligue 1. They will be hoping that their performance against Marseille can carry them into the next round of matches, which starts on March 27th.
