End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME! Paris Saint Germain are held to a goalless home draw by arch rivals Marseille in Le Classique and are now six points behind leaders Nice in Ligue 1. A sound defensive display from the visitors who gain a point on Rudi Garcia's first match in charge.
90'+2
Marseille hack the ball clear and this is going to end as a draw...
90'+1
Two minutes added time to be played. PSG have a corner...

Marseille look pretty comfortable as the clock ticks closer to full-time. PSG just haven't been at the races this evening.
87'
A cynical foul from Diarra sees the midfielder go into the referee's book. PSG have a free-kick now, around 25 yards out.

Now Gomis is down inside his own penalty area. He doesn't look hurt and it's just a matter of wasting more time. PSG's frustrations grow...
85'
A cross is drilled into the penalty area by Maxwell but, again, it's a Marseille player who reacts first to clear the danger.
83'
It isn't going to be PSG's night, is it? This result, as it stands, will pile on more pressure on manager Unai Emery.

MISS! Oh my, what an opportunity for the hosts! Matuidi delivers a low ball across the face of goal, leaving Cavani with a simple tap-in but the forward somehow sends the ball wide of the target from yards out. It was easier to score than miss!
80'
The space opens up for Maxwell who fires a shot at goal from 20 yards but it's always going wide. We're into the final 10 minutes now and PSG must find a goal if they're to move closer to league leaders Nice who currently top the table by seven points.
79'
PSG sub! Last throw of the dice for Unai Emery who throws on Ben Arfa in place of Motta. The hosts are throwing caution to the wind now.

The visitors are caught off guard however as PSG play a short corner and the cross is played into the penalty area towards Cavani who can't find the target. His header goes well off target.
76'
His team continue to keep their shape and they have fewer than 15 minutes to hold on.

Can Jese, the former Real Madrid forward, inspire his side to victory and silence his critics?

The home supporters are not happy as Di Maria is replaced by Jese and are making their manager know about it.

Di Maria fouls his marker as the corner delivery is sent into the penalty area. So frustrating for the home side!
71'
Great awareness from Marseille's defender Fanni to deny Cavani a chance to score with an audacious near-post flick. The hosts have another corner now.
