PSGParis Saint Germain2MarseilleMarseille0
Edinson Cavani scored in his first match for over a month as Paris St-Germain beat Marseille to strengthen their place at the top of Ligue 1.
Uruguay striker Cavani had been out since 31 January with a thigh injury but came off the bench late on to head in PSG's second.
Maxwell had opened the scoring with a low finish after being put clear by Zlatan Ibrahimovic's clever pass.
Marseille barely threatened, although Mathieu Valbuena had a late shot saved.
PSG are eight points clear of second-placed Monaco at the top of the standings.
