KATHMANDU: Marseille secured a 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in Ligue 1, handing the defending champions their first defeat of the new season.
The match, delayed on Sunday due to a storm warning in southern France, saw Marseille take the lead just five minutes in.
Naïf Aguerd scored with a header from a cross after PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier had come out to intercept the ball, leaving the Moroccan defender to tap it into an open net.
Despite dominating possession throughout the match, PSG failed to break down Marseille’s resolute defense.
With this win, Marseille maintains a perfect start at home, securing three consecutive victories and climbing to sixth place with nine points from five games.
Notably, this marks the first time in six home meetings that Marseille has scored against PSG.
PSG drops to joint second place, level on 12 points with Monaco but trailing on goal difference, while Lyon and Strasbourg also share the same points tally.
