The game saw Angel Gomes score for Marseille in the 72nd minute, while Ferran Torres and Marquinhos netted for PSG in the 66th and 74th minutes, respectively. Timothy Weah of Marseille was shown a red card in the 77th minute, leaving his team with 10 men for the remainder of the match. The match took place in an atmosphere marked by subdued fan support, with the Vélodrome not fully occupied for a Classique match—a term used for the rivalry between PSG and Marseille—for the first time in many years. Marseille, having lost four games in a row, struggled against a PSG side that has been showing signs of improvement in recent weeks. Despite their efforts, Marseille dropped to 17th place in the league table before the first international break.

Ferran Torres opened the scoring in the 66th minute, and Marquinhos added a second goal in the 74th. Marseille responded with a goal from Gomes in the 72nd minute, but PSG's numerical advantage after Weah's red card proved crucial in securing the victory. Marseille's starting lineup included De Lange in goal, with Weah, Egan-Riley, Aguerd, and Emerson forming the defense. Midfielders Harit, Højbjerg, and Abdelli controlled the middle of the park, while Gomes came on as a substitute in the 30th minute. The forward line featured Gouiri and Maupay. PSG's lineup had Safonov in goal, with Zaïre-Emery, Marquinhos, Pacho, and Mendes in defense. Midfielders Ruiz, Vitinha, and Neves provided support, while Doué, Dembélé, and Kvaratskhelia formed the attacking trio. Ferran Torres replaced Kvaratskhelia in the 59th minute. The match was highlighted by individual performances, with Ferran Torres and Marquinhos standing out for PSG. For Marseille, Gomes scored his first goal since January 13. Weah's red card and the resulting numerical advantage for PSG were decisive factors in the outcome.
