Reduced to 10 shortly before the end of the first half, PSG still won on the pitch of Olympique de Marseille (2-0). Geneva’s Ulisses Garcia played the entire match in the Marseille defense, putting in a rather good performance.
Reduced to 10 after the expulsion of Lucas Beraldo for a last-ditch foul in the 40th minute, PSG did not crack under the pressure from the Vélodrome. Dominating in the first period at 11 against 11, the French champions insisted on opening the scoring through Vitinha in the 53rd.
Garcia pretty solid
Taking advantage of Marseille’s offensive clumsiness and also having an excellent Donnarumma in his cage, PSG doubled the lead on a counterattack from Gonçalo Ramos (85th), who had replaced Kylian Mbappé 20 minutes earlier.
The 2018 world champion was rather discreet in this meeting. He even sometimes clashed with Ulisses Garcia. Established in the Marseille defense, the Genevan – who was recovering from injury – put in a rather clean performance with a team he joined last January.
