Marseille Blow 2-0 Lead as Paris FC Strike Late to Deepen OM Crisis
What looked like a routine night for Marseille turned into another warning sign, as a two-goal advantage vanished in the closing minutes against Paris FC, leaving OM stuck with a damaging draw and more questions than answers.
Marseille arrived in Paris under pressure. A painful European exit earlier in the week had already shaken confidence and this Ligue 1 match was meant to steady the ship. For most of the game, it seemed to do exactly that. Marseille controlled the tempo, played with authority and found solutions in attack. Mason Greenwood led the charge, sharp, involved and decisive. He opened the scoring from the penalty spot, then helped create the second goal, calmly finished by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. At 2-0, with time running down, Marseille looked safe.
But football has a way of turning quickly and this match flipped in a matter of minutes.

Paris FC, quiet for long stretches, refused to fold. As Marseille eased off, small lapses began to appear. A poorly defended set piece allowed Jonathan Ikoné to pull one back, instantly shifting the mood inside the stadium. Suddenly, Marseille looked nervous. Passes slowed. Decisions hesitated. And deep into stoppage time, a costly mistake sealed their fate. A rushed challenge in the box gave Paris FC a penalty, calmly converted to complete a dramatic comeback and stun the visitors.
For Paris FC, this draw feels like a win. Against one of France’s biggest clubs, they showed resilience and belief, climbing further away from the relegation danger zone. For a team fighting to establish itself at this level, moments like this matter. They build confidence, credibility and momentum.
For Marseille, the implications are heavier. This is not just two dropped points. It is another example of a pattern that is becoming hard to ignore. Strong spells followed by late collapses. Control without closure. Promise without protection. In the league table, Marseille remain under pressure, with rivals closing in and little margin for error. Mentally, this kind of finish can linger, especially after a bruising European defeat days earlier.
The spotlight will now turn to leadership on the pitch and decisions on the bench. How does this team manage games when ahead? How do they protect results? And how do they respond when confidence is tested?
This draw does not end Marseille’s season, but it does underline a fragile moment. For Paris FC, it could be a turning point. For Marseille, it is another reminder that talent alone is not enough.
