A thrilling Ligue 1 encounter saw Lille emerge victorious against Marseille with a commanding 2-0 win at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Lille controlled the match for large parts, despite Marseille holding a considerable advantage in possession (64% compared to Lille's 36%).
The first half was quite tight, but Lille managed to find the back of the net twice in the second half. The first goal came in the 28th minute, with J. David striking for Lille. Then, in the dying minutes of normal time, the second goal gave Lille the final margin of victory. J. David scored in the 90+4 minute mark with an assist from T. Weah.
The most exciting moment, however, came with a red card in the 77th minute for Marseille's Cengiz Ünder. The game saw several substitutions, with both teams bringing fresh legs onto the pitch as the game wore on, though this seemed to have had little impact on the final result. Lille showed great resilience in the face of Marseille's pressure, consistently winning aerial duels and effectively breaking down the attack.
Marseille's approach seemed to be focused on controlling the midfield and possessing the ball, but Lille's stronger defensive performance and clinical finishing proved too much to overcome. Lille capitalized on their opportunities with precise passing and powerful shots.
