PSG beat Marseille 2-1 as Torres continues scoring run

Paris Saint-Germain defeated Marseille 2-1 in the Ligue 1 Le Classique on Sunday, September 20, 2026, extending their rivals' poor run of form. The victory was secured by two quick goals after Marseille had equalized, with Ferran Torres continuing his prolific start for the club. Torres, who joined PSG from Barcelona in August, scored the opening goal in the 66th minute. He came off the bench to replace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and headed in a cross from Desire Doue. Marseille's Angel Gomes equalized in the 72nd minute, but PSG captain Marquinhos restored the lead just three minutes later, bundling in a rebound after his initial header was saved. The win moves PSG up to sixth in the Ligue 1 table, five points behind leaders Monaco after five matches. For Marseille, the defeat marks a fourth consecutive league loss and a fifth straight defeat in all competitions, leaving them in the relegation zone as club football enters a three-week international break. Torres has now scored seven goals in six appearances for PSG since his transfer. Five of those goals have come in his last three games.
