Marseille Secures 2-0 Victory Over Angers in Ligue 1 Clash

A dominant but initially wasteful Olympique de Marseille broke through in the second half to consolidate their position as PSG's closest challenger.

Marseille defeated Angers 2-0 in the 21st round of Ligue 1, with goals from Adrien Rabiot and Neal Maupay in the second half.
Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, Marseille struggled to convert opportunities in a frustrating first half.
Rabiot's header from an Amine Gouiri corner broke the deadlock in the 69th minute, followed by Maupay's goal five minutes later off another Gouiri assist.
Angers, ranked 13th, defended resolutely for much of the game but missed a crucial chance through Esteban Lepaul, whose shot narrowly missed the target at 0-0.
The win solidifies Marseille's second-place standing, giving them a six-point cushion over Nice and Monaco, though they remain 10 points behind league leaders PSG.
