Marseille 1-2 PSG: Doué's creativity ends a goalless match
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- 31 shots, above their five-match season average
- Marseille had 39% possession, below their average
- 74' goal worth +1.2 FN xPts, the highest value
A goalless first half gives way to chaos
A goalless first half gave way to three goals in eight minutes. Ferran Torres put Paris Saint Germain ahead in the 66th minute, Angel Gomes levelled in the 72nd, and Marquinhos restored the lead in the 74th. Three goals in eight minutes was all the scoring there was, and Marseille stayed on three points in 17th place.
De Lange keeps Marseille in the contest
Paris Saint Germain's 31 shots were well above their average across five matches this season, and far more than Marseille usually face. Jeffrey De Lange made eight saves to keep the scoreline close. He could not stop the two second-half goals that put the visitors in front for good.
Little possession, but the usual shot count
Marseille had only 39% of the ball, well below their five-match season average. Even so, their 12 shots were close to the 13.6 they usually manage. Output held up without the ball, and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg put all three of his shots on target.
Levelled, then behind again within two minutes
Gomes's equaliser in the 72nd minute was worth +0.9 FN xPts, but Marquinhos's goal two minutes later was worth +1.2. Torres's opener in the 66th minute had been worth +1.1. Timothy Weah's dismissal in the 77th minute left Marseille ten men for the rest of the match. Paris Saint Germain climbed from tenth to sixth on eight points.
Player of the match
Désiré Doué 8.5Dominant
Four shots and five key passes, plus the assist for the 66th-minute opener.
His value lay in ending the goalless match. Torres's 66th-minute opener came from his pass, and Paris Saint Germain were still ahead when he was replaced in the 79th minute. He completed all three dribbles and won five of seven duels, so he earned his points on both sides of the ball.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
