Ethan Mbappé Fires Lille Past Marseille 1-0, Tightening The Ligue 1 Race

De Zerbi's blunt verdict heightens scrutiny on an OM side already leaking points late.

Overview

  • Lille won 1-0 thanks to Ethan Mbappé’s 10th‑minute finish from Nabil Bentaleb’s pass after a misguided rush out by goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli.
  • Lille drew level with Marseille on 29 points and extended their winning run to four in all competitions, staying fourth on goal difference behind OM.
  • Marseille created little until the closing stages, with Berke Özer denying Mason Greenwood and Geoffrey Kondogbia to preserve the clean sheet.
  • Roberto De Zerbi criticized his team’s display as deservedly beaten, reinforcing concerns over OM’s recurring late‑game lapses in recent weeks.
  • Lille highlighted its youth project before kickoff by confirming 18-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi’s contract extension through 2029.
