JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is getting closer to winning the French Ligue 1 title. A 2-1 victory over Olympique Marseille made Les Parisiens even more firmly at the top of the standings with 74 points.

Now PSG are 15 points adrift of Marseille who occupies second place. With eight games remaining, of course, the hope of winning again is increasingly open.

In addition, this victory also strengthened PSG's might over Marseille. Based on Opta's data, this is the French capital club's 30th victory over their rivals.

Neymar scored PSG's opener in the 12th minute. However, Marseille equalized through Duje Caleta Car's goal in the 31st minute.

In the extra minutes of the first half, PSG was awarded a penalty. Kylian Mbappe, who became the executioner, did not waste the opportunity to bring his team ahead.

This goal made a personal nick for Mbappe. He managed to score seven goals in Classique matches in Ligue 1.

No single player has been able to record better results than Mbappe in this competition.

In addition, Mbappe also equaled the record of PSG legend, Pedro Miguel Pauleta. He made 211 games for Les Parisiens.

In this match, Lionel Messi had to face the fact that two of his goals were disallowed for offside, cited from Antara from Reuters.
