JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain was beaten by rivals Marseille 1-0 in the third week of Ligue 1 at the Parc des Princes Stadium, France, Sunday, September 13 local time. The party, known as Le Classique, has 14 yellow cards and 5 red cards.

Marseille's victory was presented by Florian Thauvin 'single goal, before hot tension devoured the match between the two rivals of modern French football.

Layvin Kurzawa, Leandro Paredes and Neymar were shown to be red cards from the PSG camp, while on the side of Marseille Jordan Amavi and Dario Benedetto were also sent off by referee Jerome Brisard, according to notes from Antara.

Hot tension had been visible since the game was barely two minutes old, when Angel Di Maria's shot hit Boubacar Kamara's arm, but because the distance between the two players was too close, Brisard ignored PSG's requests for a penalty.

PSG's players were again claiming a penalty when Neymar fell because Hiroki Sakai's shirt was gripped, but again Brisard didn't budge.

The home crowd who booed Dimitri Payet during the match fell silent when Thauvin welcomed his free kick to put Marseille ahead in the 31st minute. Brisard briefly consulted VAR before conceding the goal.

The 1-0 score lasted until halftime in the first half which saw 10 fouls for each side.

Goalkeeper Steve Mandanda then made a brilliant save to save Pablo Sarabia's first-touch shot in the 57th minute. Three later he did it again to secure Neymar's shot.

In the 62nd minute, Di Maria finally threw the ball into the visitors' goal, but the goal was ruled out because the line judge had raised the flag for offside when Idrissa Gueye sent in.

A minute later it was Benedetto's turn for Marseille to be disallowed, because Thauvin had previously been caught offside when he grabbed the ball vomited from Payet's shot.

PSG continued to attack but there were no goals scored, which might cause frustration among the defending champions.

In the sixth minute of injury time there was a riot between the two teams who ended up red cards for Benedetto and Amavi for Marseille as well as Kurzawa and Paredes.

Brisard then reviewed the incident via the VAR replay screen and gave Neymar another red card.

While leaving the field, Neymar appeared to accuse him of receiving racial abuse from Marseille players, but this had not been followed up because the whistle sounded the match after sounding the visitors' victory.
