Super Eagles winger, Moses Simon, opened his goal-scoring account for newly promoted Paris FC in their 5-2 heavy defeat to Marseille in Ligue 1
The vastly experienced winger started for his side in this encounter, but they fell behind early on courtesy a Marcus Greenwood 18th-minute penalty. One quickly became two when veteran Aubameyang made it two in the 24th minute.
Going two goals down before the 25th minute mark parked Paris FC to live, with Kebbal pulling one back for the visitors in the 28th minute before he turned provider for Moses Simon’s equalizer with a defense-splitting pass that caught Marseille’s defense sleeping and opened the gate for Simon to slot the ball past Rulli for 2-2.
The fight back ultimately amounted to nothing as Aubameyang scored a third goal to restore Marseille’s lead in the 73rd minute before Hojbjerg put the game beyond Paris FC with a fourth goal in the 81st minute. Vaz wrapped up the scoring for Marseille, sealing an impressive home win against the newcomers.
Simon and his teammates will pick themselves up and hope to turn things around in their next home game against Metz on the 31st.
