Leandro Paredes and Dario Benedetto were first to display hostility which escalated into an all-out brawl between PSG and Marseille players.

Neymar got center stage hitting Alvaro Gonzalez on the back of the head, while Layvin Kurzawa and Jordan Amavi also traded blows.

As soon as things got back to normal, Neymar, Kurzawa, and Amavi were shown straight red as Paredes and Benedetto were also shown the exit on getting a second yellow card.
