00:04Well, Marseille have had a difficult start to the season after losing their last three league games.
00:09So Paris Saint-Germain are hardly the ideal opponents, but the Southerners did win this fixture last term
00:14and will again be counting on their passionate support tonight against the champions.
00:20Marseille kicking from left to right in this first half.
00:23Now PSG looking to come forward. Dembele is allowed to run a long way.
00:29He's found Douay. Douay on his left foot.
00:33Now that shot looked as though it took a deflection and Douay is claiming a corner,
00:38but it looks like he's not going to get it as we see that slightly comical throw there from Emerson.
00:51Yeah, we saw Kellyanne Abdallah on the bench.
00:56The Marseille youngster who has been impressive so far this season was being tipped to start tonight.
01:04Now again, Claret Skelly are running.
01:06Again, Nuno Mendes. This time he squeezes it under De Lange.
01:10There was no PSG player on hand to turn the ball in though.
01:17And now Claret Skelly are one-on-one with Weah.
01:20Back to Ruiz. He goes for goal. Possibilities here.
01:24Totally unmarked, Desiree Douay.
01:27Sees his shot blocked.
01:29The French international had it back momentarily.
01:36Oh, a mistake there. Dembele in the clear and Dembele has he scored.
01:40No. The flag stayed down.
01:45Dembele managed to get in behind the Marseille defense.
01:50He looked offside, but did Fabien Ruiz get a touch or not?
01:54Either way, it's a bad miss from Dembele.
01:59It looked like a foul on Peixal.
02:02Advantage being played and a decent strike from Hojbjerg.
02:05Marseille's first effort on goal easily saved by Safinov.
02:15Safinov, Hojbjerg's header is straight to Douay.
02:17Look at the space now for Claret Skelly.
02:20Claret Skelly coming inside.
02:25Shot on for Vitinha.
02:29Well, Marseille had managed to get numbers back, and that was not an easy one for Vitinha.
02:37It was about 30 yards out.
02:42Well played by Guiri.
02:46Guiri again gets the ricochet.
02:48Good ball into the middle.
02:49Big chance for Marseille.
02:51It's a bad miss.
02:55Arik crosses.
02:57PSG survive for the moment.
03:00This is Guiri.
03:02Amin Guiri.
03:03Can he go for goal?
03:05He takes a tumble.
03:05No penalty.
03:07Neil Mopé.
03:10Abdele crossing deep.
03:12Arik now.
03:13PSG under real pressure.
03:16Now Angel Gomez.
03:19Emerson.
03:21Emerson charging forward.
03:24This is Angel Gomez.
03:27He's got it all wrong.
03:30The former Manchester United youngster.
03:36Was just perhaps caught on his heels.
03:41And then rushed the...
03:43Dembele again.
03:44The pace of the game has really lifted as Dembele goes for goal and curls it high over the top
03:51of the Langers bar.
03:52Dembele coming infield.
03:55Still going, Dembele.
03:58Now on his right foot.
04:00Goes for goal, Usman Dembele.
04:0829 years of age.
04:11Usman Dembele.
04:12It's his 14.
04:13It's his 14th.
04:14As well as brilliance.
04:19Individual brilliance and...
04:22It's perhaps the collective side as well that Luis Enrique has really brought to Usman Dembele.
04:27The half-time whistle's blown here.
04:28It's been a fairly even half of football.
04:32Marseille have competed with Paris Saint-Germain.
04:35And at the interval there is nothing to choose between these.
04:44Underway then in this second half of the Velodrome.
04:47It's Marseille 0, Paris Saint-Germain 0.
04:49It's been tactical.
04:53It's been cagey at times.
04:55Both teams have had chances.
04:58Mainly half-chance.
05:02Douai.
05:05Douai onto his left foot.
05:06Goes for goal straight at Delanger.
05:09It is a shot on target though for Paris Saint-Germain.
05:11They must have just...
05:13A solitary effort in the first half.
05:15Already won in the first two minutes of the second.
05:18Nobody there.
05:19And Marseille might have got themselves in trouble.
05:23Dembele finds Douai.
05:27Douai with the cutback.
05:28Ferris Gelia with the shot.
05:31The former Schalke player.
05:34Inviting Timothy Weir onto this one.
05:36Weir goes for goal.
05:37It's deflected.
05:38And it will be a corner to Marseille.
05:44Angel Gomez to take the corner.
05:48Gomez delivers.
05:49Headed away by Pacho.
05:55Again, Gomez.
05:57Abdelhi.
06:04Now, Angel Gomez with the cross.
06:07Again, it's Willian Pacho.
06:08The man mounting at the back for PSG who clears.
06:13Here's Nuna Mendes.
06:16The cross to Dembele.
06:18Dembele!
06:18The cutback.
06:19Oh!
06:20It would have been a sensational goal.
06:24Ferris Gelia with the flick from Dembele's cutback.
06:28It is just wide.
06:30And it all started from that tackle by Pacho on Arit.
06:36Just tremendous the way that Kvaric Gelia allows the ball to run behind him and flicks it.
06:42The instep of his right boot.
06:46Would it be?
06:47It's Nuna Mendes.
06:48The cross from him.
06:49Dembele!
06:53Just had to stretch for it.
06:56Couldn't find the target.
06:57It's another really good delivery.
06:58This time, Nuna Mendes.
07:01PSG are moving up a gear or two in this second half.
07:06You can see there's more intensity, more.
07:09It's hard to do much better than that once you've scored the winner in a World Cup final for your
07:14country.
07:15So, Vitinha, Vitinha with the, uh, I think it was a cross.
07:19It's deflected behind off our gear.
07:32The cross from Douai.
07:34And then Mendes and the header.
07:36Joao Neves is off target.
07:40Paris Saint-Germain are getting closer.
07:47The cross from Douai.
07:49Superb.
07:50A very good header by Nuna Mendes.
07:52And Joao Neves knows that was a big chart.
07:55And now Douai.
07:56Torres.
07:58Dembele's got some space here.
08:00Ousmane Dembele looks to curl one.
08:06Here's Mendes.
08:07Shot on for Douai!
08:11Well, it was a presentable opportunity that, for the former Rennes player.
08:17He's just inside the box.
08:20Curls it nicely, but just too high.
08:23Amin Arendt.
08:24Can they conjure something, Marseille?
08:27Boivier.
08:55Boivier.
08:55The touch from Gomez.
08:56He's made a real mess on both occasions.
09:10Why to Dembele?
09:14Dembele's cross is deflected.
09:15Oh, De Lange has dropped it.
09:20Well, they're starting to pepper the Marseille goal, aren't they, Paris Saint-Germain?
09:24It's going to be a test of the 28-year-old Dutchman, Jeffrey De Lange.
09:43Now, De Lange has let in 10 goals in his last four matches, having started the season with a clean
09:49sheet here against Strasbourg.
09:58Now, the cross is whipped over, and there is the goal.
10:02Ferran Torres arrives at the near post.
10:06And Paris Saint-Germain get the goal that their second-half performance has warranted.
10:11They have upped the ante, and it's that man again, Torres.
10:15The Spaniard, with his seventh goal in just his sixth appearance for Paris Saint-Germain, he silences the velodrome.
10:25The champions were in front.
10:33Well, this is a goal that had been coming since the start of this second-half.
10:39Paris Saint-Germain have just looked more threatening.
10:42A really quality ball in from Desiree Douay, and the header by Torres.
10:48Exceptional.
10:51Absolutely no chance for De Lange and Marseille have got a lot of work to do now.
11:03PSG, a goal to the good with just over a quarter of this game remaining.
11:07Abdallah's delivery goes a long way.
11:12Nodded back across.
11:14Now Guiri.
11:15Now Hojbeg.
11:16Shot on for Hojbeg!
11:18Into the arms of Safinor.
11:20For the last time Marseille lost four consecutive league games in 2015.
11:25Torres with the shot.
11:26It's another real menacing moment from the Spaniard.
11:32Firm low shot.
11:33De Lange does well to get down and across.
11:36It's a good challenge from Hojbeg.
11:38Amin Guiri now.
11:39He's got runners either side.
11:40This is Angel Gomez.
11:41Gomez in the box.
11:43Beautifully done by Gomez!
11:45Angel Gomez levels it for Marseille with a brilliantly taken strike.
11:51The velodrome erupts however level.
12:01PSG going in front through their substitute.
12:06Marseille responding with a substitute of their own.
12:10Angel Gomez.
12:13After some fine work there by Pierre-Emil Hojbeg.
12:17Hojbeg winning it.
12:19Guiri feeding Gomez.
12:20He still had plenty to do.
12:22Jinx inside Pacho.
12:24And a cool finish.
12:26From the former Manchester United man.
12:29Marseille 1.
12:30PSG 1.
12:37Usman Dembele's delivery punched away by De Lange.
12:50Marseille have gained a few percentage points but they're behind again.
12:59Marquinhos has given PSG the lead once more.
13:04The captain so often the man who comes up with an important goal.
13:09He's got another one here.
13:14Another quality ball into the box and the skipper Marquinhos arriving.
13:22Oh, the velodrome deflated again.
13:24Look at this though from Nuno Mendes.
13:26Whipped him beautifully.
13:29The Marseille defenders didn't follow the run of Marquinhos.
13:33He was the most alert player in the six-yard box there.
13:38PSG back out in front.
13:45I was just saying, Marseille's win percentage chance went up to 12%.
13:50It'll probably be back down to 2%.
13:54There's just a power about this PSG side, a conviction.
13:59They know they're capable of scoring.
14:03Marseille coming again.
14:04That was a poor choice though from Hojbeg.
14:06He had Abdullah in space to them.
14:17The return pass.
14:18Nuno Mendes being held back there.
14:21Timothy Weyer is off.
14:24Booked in the first half.
14:25Weyer.
14:27Second yellow for holding Nuno Mendes back.
14:29And Marseille's night is going flat here.
14:34The skipper has been sent off.
14:37And honestly, I don't think he can have any complaints.
14:40He knew he was on a booking.
14:45Certainly, on first viewing, it looked like he held back Nuno Mendes.
14:55No doubt about it.
14:57You just can't get away with that sort of challenge when you're on a yellow card.
15:02But then, Timothy Weyer's difficult start to the season continues here.
15:08And Marseille's chances get slimmer still.
15:24Well, he's being applauded off, Timothy Weyer.
15:26But I think he'll feel deep down that he's made a silly mistake.
15:37Oh, PSG in again with Dembele.
15:39Marseille fast asleep as PSG took that free kick quickly.
15:46Marseille fast asleep as PSG took that free kick quickly.
15:53But I think he'll feel deep down that he'll feel deep down that he'll feel deep down that he'll feel
15:59deep down.
16:03And now I'm in query.
16:08Gomez tackled by Vitinha
16:12Marseille are going to try, of course they will, to get an equaliser
16:15but
16:19another corner then Mico Godz to take

17:00great skills from Nuno Mendes
17:02De Lange almost dropped it in front of Ferran Torres
17:14some Marseille fans in front of me getting up and making their way towards the exits which
17:19suggests they don't have a
17:23huge amount of belief in the ten men of Marseille

17:29Nuno Mendes

17:42after Nuno Mendes had
17:45marauded his way
17:46up that left-hand side

18:16João Neves
18:18gets it past the wall
18:20but it's over the
18:21frame of the goal
18:27it needs to be a good delivery
18:29from Abdallah
18:31didn't quite beat the
18:32the man at the near post
18:35Gomez has it though
18:37good cross from Gomez
18:38maybe a chance at the far post
18:41Safinoff is out

18:50Safinoff looked like

18:52Egan Riley going in

18:54from the Englishman
18:55who's not even looking
