A dominant performance from Marseille saw them defeat Lille 2-0 at the Orange Vélodrome. The home side controlled the game, out-possessing Lille by a significant margin (56% to 44%). Marseille fired 13 shots, with 5 on target, while Lille managed 13 shots with only 4 hitting the goal.
The match was practically decided in the second half. Two early goals by Thauvin and Gomis sealed the victory. The first, by Thauvin, in the 61st minute, followed by Gomis's strike in the 56th minute, put Marseille in the driver's seat and effectively ended any Lille comeback hopes.
While Lille showed some effort, especially in the opening stages, their approach seemed more reactive than proactive. Marseille, on the other hand, appeared well-prepared, utilizing their strength in possession and exploiting the spaces created.
Both teams made several substitutions throughout the match, providing some intriguing tactical shifts. A few of these substitutions were key to the game. Overall, Marseille's controlled display and crucial goals secured a well-deserved victory.
