Lassine Sinayoko Hat-Trick Fires Paris FC to Victory Over Marseille

Paris FC extended their impressive unbeaten start to the Ligue 1 campaign on Sunday, securing a hard-fought 3-2 victory away at Marseille. The result moves Liam Rosenior’s side to second in the early league standings, boasting seven points from their opening three fixtures.

The visitors made an immediate impact at the Velodrome, stunning the home crowd by taking the lead just 25 seconds into the match. Luca Koleosho broke through the Marseille defense and delivered a precise square ball for Lassine Sinayoko to open the scoring. While Marseille responded in the eighth minute through Amine Gouiri—who capitalized on an errant back pass from Adama Camara—Sinayoko restored the lead for Paris FC shortly after by heading home a Pablo Pagis cross.

Sinayoko Seals Treble in Dramatic Finish

The contest remained tightly contested throughout the second half. Marseille leveled the score for the second time nine minutes after the restart when Gouiri struck a clinical close-range volley from a difficult angle. As the hosts pressed forward in search of a decisive goal, they were caught on the counter-attack in the final stages.

A shot from Moses Simon struck the arm of CJ Egan-Riley, and after a VAR review, the referee awarded a penalty to Paris FC. Sinayoko stepped up to the spot in the 85th minute, converting the chance to complete his hat-trick and secure all three points for his side. Paris FC now look ahead to a home clash against Lyon, while Marseille face consecutive defeats following their opening-day victory over Strasbourg.

In other Ligue 1 action, Strasbourg secured a dominant 6-2 away victory against Troyes. Despite falling behind to an early Antoine Mille strike, the visitors responded emphatically. Jacobo Ortega leveled the score before the break, with Diogo Sousa, Giovanni Reyna, and Conrad Harder also finding the net. English winger Sam Amo-Ameyaw added two late goals in the 85th and 88th minutes to complete the rout.

Elsewhere, Rennes maintained their own unbeaten start to the season with a 2-1 win at Angers. The league landscape remains competitive, as reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain continue to search for their first win of the season following a 2-1 home defeat to Monaco on Friday. Meanwhile, Lille secured an away victory against Toulouse, and Lens suffered their second consecutive loss, falling 1-0 at home to Lorient.
