Yesterday, the PSG footballers, defending champions, continued their 23rd "Ligue 1" tour today.
The first to examine their opponents this season were the "Marseille" team, which had been leading the tournament table for a long time. Rising to second place, Marcelo Bielsa's troops forced the league's outsiders, "Evian", to surrender with a minimal result.
The victory of the port city club was determined by Andre-Pierre Gignac's precise strike. "Marseille" temporarily reduced the gap from the leader "Lyon" to one point.
French championship fans saw five more matches last night.

"Marseille" 1 - 0 "Evian" [1-0] 49' Andre-Pierre Gignac (from the penalty spot)
