. At ten, Paris concedes a draw
Reduced to ten after the exclusion of Achraf Hakimi at the start of the second half (57th), Paris SG failed to win but preserved the essential by keeping its clean sheet. OM, which has been chasing a success in its garden against its enemy since November 2011, missed the boat by lacking in realism (1 shot on target in 15).
The first period, marked by a great intensity of intensity and other, was quite spectacular if it ended with a zero and blank score.
PSG should have opened the scoring on a goal against his camp of Luan Peres, but it was refused by the VAR for an offside from Neymar (14th). This woke up OM, who had fallen asleep a little after thunderous first minutes. Arkadiusz Milik believed to give the advantage to the Phocéens, but his but was also canceled by the video assistance for an offside of Pol Lirola, who had served him (21st).
Despite the Parisian domination, Marseille goalkeeper Pau Lop was not often requested but he was decisive on the head of Lionel Messi (26th) and against Neymar (31st).
The exclusion of Hakimi, for a fault on Cengiz Under at the edge of the surface after intervention of the VAR (57th), complicated the Parisian task and gave wings to OM, which however lacked efficiency, like a header from Valentin Rongier just off (65th) or a missed recovery from Konrad de la Fuente, yet alone at the far post (77th).
PSG however remained threatening against, as on this overflow from Mbappé, who served Neymar in withdrawal but the Brazilian’s shot was controlled (78th). Launched in depth by Messi, the French international was then taken superbly by William Saliba (83rd).

Nice, 2-0, overthrew Lyon in the last moments (3-2). OL, who completely mastered the match for 80 minutes with goals from Karl Toko-Ekambi (35th) and Houssem Aouar (68th), cracked in the final and even finished ten after the exclusion of Tino Kadewere ( 85th).
The entry of Youcef Atal was decisive: he first reduced the score (81st), before causing a penalty converted by Andy Delort (89th) then being the source of the third goal signed Evann Guessand (90th +2).
Nice is temporarily back on the podium (3rd with 19 points), while Lyon suffered a stoppage (9th, 16 pts).

Téji Savanier reduced the score from the penalty spot (81st).
