This Sunday’s round of the French Championship marked a good result for Olympique de Marseille and a happy afternoon for the Brazilian Lucas Paquetá. Coach Jorge Sampaoli’s team beat Troyes this Sunday (28), 1-0, and entered the G-4 of the tournament. The athlete from the Tite team was decisive in Lyon’s victory.
Marseille started with great intensity and almost scored the first with a shot from outside the area of Dimitri Payet, in the 4th minute. Opponents stopped Marseille with repeated fouls, preventing the owners of the case from progressing with the ball.
The hosts put pressure on Troyes, who defended themselves and tried to score a goal on the counterattacks.
In the second stage, after some missed opportunities, Spaniard Pol Lirola received a launch from Payet and opened the scoring for Olympique, at 29, decreeing the team’s victory.
The Brazilian Gerson came at the end of the match, at 37 minutes, but participated little in the game.
Earlier, at 13:00 (GMT), Lyon beat Montpellier, 1-0, with a goal by Lucas Paquetá at 17 of the first half.
