Overview
- Mason Greenwood struck first for OM in the 17th minute before Odsonne Édouard leveled from the spot after a Benjamin Pavard foul confirmed by VAR.
- Pavard then diverted an Adrien Thomasson corner into his own net on 53 minutes, capping a difficult week after errors in the Sporting CP defeat.
- Despite around 68% possession, Marseille fashioned few clear chances and could not break down Lens’s compact, well-organized block.
- The result reshaped the top of Ligue 1: PSG moved first on 20 points, Lens climbed to second with 19, and Marseille slipped to third on 18.
- Coach Roberto De Zerbi praised OM’s overall display and said the defeat was hard to explain, while sporting director Medhi Benatia called for calm ahead of Wednesday’s home match against Angers.
