Mali forward Lassine Sinayoko fires Paris FC to stunning win over Marseille with first career hat-trick

Malian international Lassine Sinayoko produced the performance of his career on Sunday, September 6, scoring a hat-trick to inspire Paris FC to a dramatic 3-2 victory over Marseille at the Stade Vélodrome in a thrilling Ligue 1 encounter.

Sinayoko wasted no time making his mark, opening the scoring just one minute into the game to give Paris FC an early 1-0 lead. Marseille responded quickly, with Algerian forward Amine Gouiri restoring parity in the eighth minute.

The end-to-end contest continued to produce drama as Sinayoko struck again in the 19th minute, putting Paris FC back in front at 2-1 before the interval.

Marseille came out strongly after the break and Gouiri once again found the breakthrough, scoring his second goal of the afternoon in the 53rd minute to bring the hosts level at 2-2.

With both sides pushing for a winner, the match appeared destined to end in a draw. However, Sinayoko had the final say.

The Malian forward stepped up from the penalty spot in the 86th minute and calmly converted to complete his hat-trick and send Paris FC to a memorable 3-2 victory.

The treble was particularly significant for Sinayoko as it marked the first hat-trick of his professional career, while securing one of the most dramatic victories Paris FC could have hoped for away from home.

Sinayoko’s three goals also underlined his growing importance to the Paris FC attack, with the Malian international proving decisive on a night when his side needed a match-winner.

For Marseille, the defeat will be a bitter one, having twice fought back from behind only to concede a late penalty that ultimately settled the contest.

But for Sinayoko and Paris FC, the night belonged entirely to the Malian striker, whose clinical finishing turned a chaotic encounter at the Vélodrome into a memorable personal milestone.
