    In a thrilling match-up between two of France's top clubs, Marseille and Monaco, it was Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, Lucas Moura, who emerged as the man of the match. However, for the first time in his career, he did not score a goal.

    Instead, it was midfielder, Adama Traore, who led the way for Marseille with a brace, while winger, Maxwel Cornet, also found the back of the net to secure a comfortable 3-0 victory over their rivals.

    The match started off with both teams showing great attacking intent, but it wasn't until the 25th minute that Marseille finally broke through. A well-placed header from Traore gave them the lead, which they held onto for the rest of the half.

    Marseille continued to dominate the second half, creating several chances but failing to convert them into goals. However, in the 64th minute, Traore scored his second of the game, capitalizing on a poor clearance by Monaco goalkeeper, Steve Mandanda.

    The final goal came just five minutes later, as Cornet slotted home a well-taken penalty, after being brought down by a tackle from defender, Marcelo D'Alessandro.

    Despite the defeat, Monaco will be disappointed with their performance against such a strong team. They showed some good attacking play, but were unable to convert their opportunities into goals. The loss will surely put pressure on their manager, Vahid Halilhodzic, to turn things around soon.

    Overall, this was a great display of football from both teams, with Marseille emerging victorious thanks to a combination of excellent individual performances and solid teamwork. It will be interesting to see how they respond in the coming weeks and whether they can continue their winning run.
