Overview
- Mbappé struck in the 10th minute from Nabil Bentaleb’s long pass, capitalizing on a poor rush from goalkeeper Géronimo Rulli for the game’s only goal.
- Lille move to 29 points, the same total as Marseille, keeping LOSC fourth on goal difference and giving Lens and PSG a chance to widen the gap later in the round.
- Berke Özer preserved the lead with late saves on Mason Greenwood and Geoffrey Kondogbia as a largely tight match offered few clear chances after the opener.
- The result marks Lille’s fourth straight win, with Nathan Ngoy impressing at the back; Hamza Igamane left injured in the first half and Olivier Giroud came on.
- Marseille traveled without Hojbjerg due to illness and have been grappling with late‑game lapses this season; the fixture aired on beIN Sports after the broadcaster used a scheduling ‘joker.’
