Ten-man Paris St-Germain secured a 2-0 victory over Marseille, extending their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to 12 points. Vitinha opened the scoring with a low strike in the 52nd minute, and substitute Goncalo Ramos sealed the win in the latter stages, ending Marseille’s 19-game unbeaten home run.
PSG played with 10 men for over 50 minutes after defender Lucas Beraldo was sent off for bringing down Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Although Marseille thought they had equalized, Jordan Veretout’s effort was ruled out for offside.
With just 10 points needed from their remaining seven games, PSG is on track to retain the Ligue 1 title. Kylian Mbappe, set to join Real Madrid in the summer, was substituted in the 63rd minute.
