Marseille: 🟢W ⚫D ⚫D 🟢W 🔴L

Paris FC: ⚫D 🟢W 🟢W ⚫D 🔴L

Paris FC fans will already know this, but for the fans who are new to Ligue 1, the visitors have two special players in their squad tonight - Julien Lopez and Maxime Lopez. The pair are not only teammates but also brothers!

Julien, the older one, is a former Algeria U21 international, and is on the bench tonight. Maxime, a former France U21 international, starts in the heart of Paris FC's midfield.

Paris FC, despite being a newly-promoted side in Ligue 1 without the biggest budget in the world, have a former Champions League goalkeeper on the bench tonight - Kevin Trapp. The former PSG goalie is a new signing for Paris FC, but he is not going to be first choice this season, with that role belonging to Obed Nkambadio.

Referee Marc Bollengier blows his whistle, and the game is underway. Marseille quickly take control of the ball. Stay tuned for live updates from the game!

Despite having around 15% of the ball, it's Paris FC who has the first decent opportunity. Willem Guebbels receives a cross into the box an dheards it goalwards, and sees his effort crash against the right post! So unlucky for the Frenchman... and Marseille fans can breathe again.

Gouri takes the ball and runs with it, but fails to play his teammates on after Paris FC defenders clear.

It's Marseille's turn for the post to deny them. Aubameyang shows off his class with a sublime first touch to receive a cross from the wings, and the Gabonese striker shoots from inside the box, but sees it crash against the left post.

Aubameyang makes another foray into the box and goes down under a challenge. The referee waves play on, and Marseille players are not happy.

A VAR intervention results in Marseille winning a penalty from the foul on Aubameyang. Mason Greenwood steps up to take the penalty, and the Englishman makes no mistake, driving his shot low into the right corner. The hosts take the lead.

After winning the penalty that led to the first goal, Aubameyang gets on the scoresheet himself with a good effort. This time, Greenwood turns provider, crossing the ball into the box, and Auba made no mistake with his shot from five yards out.

Paris FC pull one back against the run of play, and its Ilan Kebbal who finds the top corner to keep his side in the contest. The goal was entirely created by the Algerian, going past the defenders inside the box before finishing past Rulli.

Simon tries to find an equaliser for Paris FC with another individual effort. He goes past two defenders and then shoots from outside the box, but Rulli is ready this time, making a good stop to preserve Marseille's lead.

A minimum of four minutes added on at the end of the first half. Paris FC have really grown into the game, and Guebbel's shot found the net five minutes or so ago, but was ruled out for offside. The visitors are looking dangerous, and Marseille have to defend well.

The referee blows his whistle, and it's half-time at the Stade Velodrome. Marseille have the slight advantage, having scored twice in quick succession. But Kebbal's solo effort has brought Paris FC back in the game, and the visitors threatened all throughout the first half. A big 45 minutes await.

The second half is underway at the Velodrome, with Marseille hanging on to their one-goal lead against a dangerous Paris FC side. Stay tuned!

What a chance for Paris FC to equalise. Captain Maxime Lopez puts in a delightful ball into the box, and Moses Simon loses his marker before getting his head onto the ball. The header is good, but it flies just over the bar. Another big chance goes begging for the visitors.

Moments after his headed effort missed the goal, Moses Simon makes amends with the equaliser that Paris FC were searching for. Kebbal plays the ball to the Nigerian, who runs into the box and then shoots past Rulli to find the back of the net. It's all square at the Velodrome!

Marseille had a great opportunity to reclaim the lead through Balerdi, whose header from inside the box was straight into the arms of Nkambadio. Inches on the either side, and it would have been a goal.

Both sides make changes. Bilal Nadir replaces Timothy Weah for Marseille. Paris FC bring on Alimany Gory and Jean-Philippe Krasso, with Guebbels and Simon coming off.

Aubameyang scores his second goal of the night as Marseille retake the lead. The hosts have been on the front foot in the last few minutes, with Hojbjerg coming close with his effort from inside the box.

However, continued poor defensive work from Paris FC allows Aubamyeang a chance to get into the box, and the Gabonese shoots to find the back of the net. No chance for Nkambadio.

This game had pretty much everything, and now you can add a stunner to that list. Hojbjerg receives the ball from Bilal Nadir and lets fly from 25 yards out with his right foot, and it flies past everyone to find the bottom corner. What a way for Marseille to round up the win!

Mamadou Mbow brings down his man in the box, and the referee immediately awards a penalty to Marseille. Greenwood, who scored a spot kick in the first half, steps up to complete his brace, but his effort goes just wide off the left post. Paris FC survive this time around.

Just as I was about the say that the six minutes of stoppage time had flown by without much action, Marseille complete their rout with the fifth goal of the night in what could have been the last touch of the game.

And it was a goal to saviour too, from Robinio Vaz, who find the back of the net with an audicious effort from the tighest of angles. Greenwood adds an assist to his name.

It is all over at the Stade Velodrome, and Marseille have utterly dominated Paris FC in the last half-an-hour to seal a 5-2 win. The hosts squandered their two-goal advantage in disappointing manner. But after Simon's equaliser, Roberto de Zerbi's side were unplayable, scoring three times in the last 20 minutes or so to complete the thrashing of newly promoted Paris FC.
