Marseille temporarily tops the French League

Yesterday, Marseille reached the top of the French Football League temporarily, by defeating its host Angers 3-0, in the opening of the ninth stage of the "Ligue 1".

Left-back Jonathan Clos scored a goal (35) and assisted others, scored by Colombian Luis Soares (50) and Brazilian Gerson (59), to lead Marseille by one point in the lead (23) over Paris Saint-Germain (22), which hosts struggling Nice today.

Thus, Marseille continued its brilliance under the leadership of its new Croatian coach Igor Todor, and has not received any defeat so far with seven victories and two draws. Marseille, who has been seeking the first French league title since 2010, hopes to surprise Saint-Germain, and not be runners-up for the second season in a row.
