Marseille Falls to Lens in Stoppage Time, Raising Concerns Ahead of PSG Clash

A late goal from Neil El Aynaoui handed Lens a 1-0 victory over Marseille, as the hosts struggled to convert dominance into points before a pivotal match against league leaders Paris Saint-Germain.

Rabiot, sans solution.

Overview

  • Marseille dominated possession with over 75% in the first half but failed to capitalize on numerous scoring opportunities, including two shots hitting the crossbar.
  • Lens goalkeeper Mathew Ryan delivered a standout performance, making crucial saves throughout the match and earning man-of-the-match honors.
  • Neil El Aynaoui scored the decisive goal for Lens in the 94th minute, exploiting a late counterattack to silence the packed Vélodrome stadium.
  • The loss leaves Marseille 16 points behind Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue 1 standings and risks them losing their second-place position if Nice wins their match against Lyon.
  • Marseille faces a challenging schedule ahead, including a critical clash with unbeaten PSG next week, as they aim to secure a Champions League qualification spot.
