### Payet, Undav and Guendouzi Score as Marseille Clinch 3-0 Victory Over Clermont in Top League Clash
Marseille secured their first league victory of the season on Sunday afternoon when they defeated Clermont Auvergne 3-0 at Stade Jean-Marc-Aubry. The result was a significant boost for the French side, who had been struggling with a poor start to the campaign.
The match began brightly with Marseille dominating possession early on. Their attacking trio of Payet (7th), Undav (8th) and Guendouzi (11th) were instrumental in creating chances. Payet's goal came just after half-time, converting a well-taken penalty kick from Undav. This goal gave Marseille a lead that proved to be enough to secure their win.
In the second half, Marseille continued to press, but it wasn't until the final stages that they managed to double their advantage. Guendouzi scored his second goal of the game, converting a fine free-kick opportunity from the edge of the box. This goal sealed Marseille's 3-0 victory over Clermont.
The performance from Marseille's forward line was particularly impressive. Payet, known for his pace and skill, set up both goals. Undav, while not scoring directly, provided excellent support for his teammates. Guendouzi, a versatile midfielder, played a crucial role in both scoring efforts and in helping Marseille maintain control of the game.
Clermont, despite having some good opportunities themselves, struggled to find a way through Marseille's defensive lines. Their lack of cutting-edge tactics and poor finishing skills ultimately contributed to their defeat.
This victory marks a positive step for Marseille, who now have two wins in their opening four matches of the season. It also sets the tone for the rest of the league campaign, where they will face tougher opponents and need to continue improving their performances if they want to stay competitive.
As Marseille look ahead to their next fixture against Lyon on November 5th, this 3-0 win serves as a reminder of what is possible with a strong front-line and a solid defense. With the squad continuing to adapt and improve, there is no doubt that Marseille has the potential to challenge for the top spot in the French league table.
