According to a match report from Dawn Sport, striker Lassine Sinayoko was the hero, scoring all three of his team's goals including a late penalty to secure the points.

How did Paris FC secure the win in Marseille?
The visitors made a dream start at the Stade Vélodrome. After just 25 seconds, left-back Luca Koleosho got behind the defense and squared the ball for Sinayoko to tap in. Marseille responded quickly through Amine Gouiri, who netted his third league goal in as many games, but Sinayoko restored Paris FC's lead in the 19th minute with a free header from a Pablo Pagis cross. The second half saw another equalizer from Gouiri, setting up a tense finale. The decisive moment came when a shot from Moses Simon struck the arm of Marseille's CJ Egan-Riley. After a VAR review, a penalty was awarded in the 85th minute, which Sinayoko calmly converted to complete his hat-trick and win the match.
