Marseille extended its winning streak, defeating Lens 2-1 on the road; with its fifth straight victory, the team moved into the top four of Ligue 1. Marseille took the lead just two minutes in on a goal by Guiri, but Lens equalized shortly after with a goal by Toven.
Lens were hoping for a positive result to boost their morale after their humiliating 9-1 midweek loss to Como, but in the end, it was Marseille who came out on top. In the 82nd minute, Abdallah put the visitors back in front for the final 2-1 score, which lifted Marseille to 4th place.
Lille also continued its upward trajectory, defeating Rennes 2-1 and moving to within two points of second-place Paris Saint-Germain. Diaw’s goal put Lille ahead (24’), before Rennes equalized through Dia to make it 1-1 seven minutes later. In the 68th minute, however, Lille scored the winning goal through Engoi and remained on the winning track.
