The French capital has witnessed another thrilling match in the world of football with Marseille defeating Angers 2-1 on Sunday night.
The match was a close one as both teams were well-prepared and executed their strategies effectively. However, it was Marseille who had the edge in terms of possession, with a clear advantage in terms of chances.
It was during the second half that Marseille took the lead through a header from Mathieu Valbuena. The ball found its way into the back of the net after a quick movement by Mads Lindahl, but Marseille's goal was not enough to prevent Angers from taking control of the game.
Despite the scoreline being level, there were plenty of positives for Marseille. Payet led the team with a strong performance, scoring his first goal of the season against Angers. He made some crucial saves throughout the match, including a diving save off a corner kick.

The penalty was taken by Jérôme Boateng, and despite the high energy level at the Parc des Princes, Marseille were able to hold on to the lead. In the end, Marseille held on for a 2-1 victory and moved up to third place in the Ligue 1 table.
Overall, Marseille proved to be a formidable opponent this weekend and showed why they have become such a dominant force in European football. They will now have to keep up the pressure on their rivals to maintain their position in the league and perhaps even win some major titles themselves.
