Sports Desk: Mauricio Pachettino, the Argentine coach of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), won the first title for the new club just 12 days after taking charge. French giants PSG clinched their first title of the season by beating Marseille 2-1 in the French Super Cup final on Wednesday night. After about a month, Neymar Jr., the biggest star of the team, has given the impression of his best rhythm on the field.

Neymar was injured in the ankle match against Lyon on December 13. He returned to the field with the final match against Marseille. Where he has scored a big contribution in the victory of the team. However, Pachettino did not take the risk of playing Neymar from the beginning of the match. Neymar was sent off as a substitute for Angel Di Maria in the 75th minute of the match.

From the beginning of his career, he has to fight against the foul of the opponent. Even today there is no exception. He was the victim of three fouls in just 10 minutes. But it could not suppress Neymar, who was playing in a cheerful mood. The Marseille goalkeeper fouled Mauro Icardi in the D-box in the 75th minute of the match. The referee blew the whistle for the penalty after watching the VAR (Video Assistant Referee).

Neymar did not miss the easiest chance to score. Successful Spotki almost ensured the team's victory. Earlier, PSG got the first lead with the goal of Argentine Icardi. Where the contribution was made by Icardi's compatriot De Maria. Icardi headed in from the cross in the 39th minute of the first half. But it was resisted by the Marseille goalkeeper. However, Icardi got his name in the score sheet after getting the return ball in the gap.

Neymar later scored the second goal. There were only 5 minutes left in the match. However, Marseille made the last attempt to turn around. Dimitri Payet reduced the lead in the 69th minute of the match. However, they did not get the equalizing goal. As a result, PSG won the first title of the season with an easy victory.

PSG, the most successful team in the French Super Cup, won the title for the eighth time in a row and the tenth in all, the first under new coach Pachettino. The Argentine tasted the first title in his coaching career.
