Marseille held on through a chaotic second half to edge out Lyon (3-2) and secure three crucial points, keeping them firmly in second place in Ligue 1, ten points behind league leaders Paris Saint-Germain.

Second-Half Madness

After a dull first half with no goals, the game exploded in the second, with five strikes deciding the outcome. Rayan Cherki broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute after a scramble inside the box. But Marseille responded instantly—just eight minutes later, Mason Greenwood tapped in an easy finish from an Amine Gouiri assist, netting his 13th goal of the season, just one behind Ousmane Dembélé, the current top scorer in France.

Dramatic Late Winner for Marseille

Tension soared at the Vélodrome when Alexandre Lacazette leveled the score from the penalty spot. But the hosts kept pushing. After Lucas Perri denied Greenwood twice with stunning saves, Luis Henrique popped up in stoppage time, slotting home a Pol Lirola pass to seal a massive victory—keeping Marseille in the title race and preventing PSG from extending their lead any further.
