Ligue 1: Sinayoko hat-trick condemns Marseille to defeat against Paris FC

Lassine Sinayoko struck three times at the Vélodrome as Paris FC defeated Marseille 3-2 in a lively Ligue 1 match. The result gave Marseille a second consecutive league defeat, following a 2-0 loss at Monaco, and exposed more worrying defensive fragility.

Paris FC needed only 23 seconds to take the lead. On the visitors’ first attack, Koleosho moved into the area and set up Sinayoko for an easy finish. Marseille quickly recovered after Cherki’s misplaced back pass allowed Amine Gouiri to equalize in the eighth minute.

Marseille then improved in possession but continued to leave gaps at the back. Paris FC regained the lead in the 19th minute when Sinayoko, left unmarked in front of goal, headed in from a corner. Marseille nearly equalized before halftime, but a fine free kick from Paixão struck the crossbar.

Harit became increasingly influential after the break. As Marseille wavered and Paris FC threatened again, the Moroccan winger drove forward and supplied Gouiri, who completed a well-executed move to make it 2-2 in the 60th minute. Both teams had strong spells during the final half-hour, but the decisive moment went Paris FC’s way. A shot from Simon struck Egan-Riley’s raised arm, initially escaping referee Clément Turpin but prompting a review by video officials. Turpin awarded a penalty, and Sinayoko converted it to complete his hat-trick and secure a prestigious victory. Paris FC now has seven points from three matches, while Marseille sits 10th, four points behind.
