Lille Halts Marseille's Six-Week Unbeaten Run With 1-0 Win as Brest Edges Monaco

The narrow victories tightened a congested Ligue 1 race defined by single decisive moments.

Lille's Ethan Mbappe netted the winner with the first clear chance of the game

Overview

  • Ethan Mbappé struck in the 10th minute for Lille after a mix-up between Marseille's goalkeeper and defense on Nabil Bentaleb's long pass.
  • The result marked Lille's third straight win and extended a strong home run to 16 wins and two defeats in the last 23 league matches.
  • Marseille failed to test the goalkeeper until the 76th minute on a night when its attack produced few clear chances.
  • Brest defeated Monaco 1-0 with a Kamory Doumbia header in the 28th minute to record a third successive victory.
  • Ludovic Ajorque was sent off on the hour for a bad tackle on Lamine Camara, yet Brest held on to rise to ninth as Monaco remained seventh.
