 | Marseille maintains the pace of PSG with another victory19-12-2020 |
During the week, Marseille ended its participation in the Champions League ingloriously, but today continued its magnificent performance in Ligue 1. Andre Vias-Boas` team won 2:1 against Monaco and returned to second place in the standings. The regional derby was largely decided very early on. The hosts took the lead with two goals until the 13th minute. Towen opened in the fifth, and Benedetto doubled the lead. Ben Yeder scored from the penalty spot in the 79th minute. Marseille recorded its sixth consecutive victory in the championship and is only a point behind Paris Saint-Germain, and also played a game less.
In the absence of penalties, Dmitri Payet Vias-Boas bet on the Benedetto-Toven duo and it did not disappoint. The two combined for both goals. First, the Argentine found the Frenchman, who opened the score with his head, then the roles were exchanged and Benedetto scored. The defense of Monaco repeatedly failed to cope with the attacks of the opponent and the guests had to thank Steve Mandanda for not getting a new goal until the break. The goalkeeper made two great saves after hits by Foland and Badashile. In the second half, Marseille stepped back and played more cautiously, but the guests did not bother them much. They still scored in the 79th minute, when Ben Yeder scored from a penalty he made himself.
