Overview
- Ethan Mbappé scored in the 10th minute from a Nabil Bentaleb long pass after a misjudged exit by goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli.
- The result leaves both clubs on 29 points, with Marseille still third and Lille fourth on goal difference pending the weekend’s other matches.
- Berke Özer preserved Lille’s lead with late stops on Mason Greenwood and Geoffrey Kondogbia in the 76th and 78th minutes.
- Marseille traveled without long-term absentees Amine Gouiri, Facundo Medina and Hamed Traoré, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was ruled out through illness.
- Hamza Igamane left early with an apparent adductor issue and was replaced by Olivier Giroud, as De Zerbi later said his side “played badly” and deserved to lose.
