Aubameyang and Greenwood demolish Paris FC

Aubameyang and Greenwood Dismantle Paris FC in Vélodrome Rout

Must Watch Futmetrix Score: 84/100. Marseille transformed the Orange Vélodrome into a shooting gallery, crushing Paris FC 5-2 in a display of unbridled attacking prowess where Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mason Greenwood orchestrated a masterclass in clinical finishing.

The Goal Avalanche: When the Vélodrome Became a Sniper's Range

From the 18th minute, intensity exploded across the pitch. Greenwood broke the deadlock from the penalty spot—VAR-confirmed drama—and the floodgates opened. In a breathless ten-minute spell (18-28), three goals traded places: Aubameyang doubled the lead by the 24th, before Ilan Kebbal pulled one back for the visitors at 2-1. But Marseille refused the suspense. What promised to be a crunch match became a one-sided affair.

Greenwood's Playmaking, Substitutes as Executioners

The second half? A carnival where balance tilted decisively toward the home side. Mathias Simon dragged Paris FC back to 2-3 in the 58th, but it was mere consolation. Aubameyang sealed his brace in the 73rd, Pierre Hojbjerg added a fifth in the 81st, and Romain Vaz closed the curtain at the 90th. Substitutes Bilal Nadir (two assists) and Vaz transformed the match into a Parisian rout.

A Lesson in Killer Instinct

Marseille dominated with 61% possession and 11 shots (seven on target). Paris FC, restricted to 39% possession, attempted resistance but crumbled against relentless intensity in the final third. The title race begins badly for the visitors; Marseille has served notice to Ligue 1.

Key Questions

What made Aubameyang the Man of the Match?

Two goals, decisive presence, a 9.9 rating: the Marseille striker dismantled Paris FC's defence with surgical precision.

What caused the seven-goal thriller?

Marseille's offensive explosion from the 18th minute, Paris FC's porous defence, and three goals in ten minutes that settled the contest.

How did substitutes change the game?

Nadir (two assists) and Vaz (one goal) buried Paris FC from the 63rd minute onward, turning dominance into total collapse.

Why is this match rated 84/100?
