Angel DI MARIA scored twice for PSG in their 3-1 win against Olympique Marseille.
The Argentine scored twice, one of which was a great free kick and assisted the other goal in his team’s league win. With the score at 1-1, DI MARIA scored from a very difficult angle, curving the ball into the side of the net and beating the goalkeeper.
At 2-1, DI MARIA decided to score one of the free kicks of the season. A lovely goal from well outside of the penalty area sealed the victory for PSG.
What a goal from Di Maria ! #PSGOM
