Overview
- Ethan Mbappé struck in the 10th minute from Nabil Bentaleb’s pass, punishing a misjudged exit by Gerónimo Rulli for the game’s only goal.
- Lille climb to 29 points, level with Marseille, and extend their winning run to four in all competitions while remaining fourth on goal difference.
- Marseille missed a chance to go top and created little until late, with Berke Özer denying Mason Greenwood and Geoffrey Kondogbia before Roberto De Zerbi admitted his team “played badly.”
- The defeat gives Lens, top, and PSG, second on 30 points, a chance to open a gap before Paris host Rennes in Saturday’s fixtures.
- PSG’s medical update notes Désiré Doué’s return to collective training as Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi continue rehabilitation, with goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier still sidelined by an ankle injury.
