Updated:2025-12-17 08:36 Views:179In the Ligue 1 football tournament, Marseille has been making waves lately. Despite facing tough opposition from Nice, the French champions have managed to come out on top and secure a crucial win against their rivals.
The game started off evenly, with both teams struggling to find their rhythm. However, Marseille's defensive solidity proved too much for their opponents. They were able to hold onto possession and create chances that they could not afford to let slip away.
In the 28th minute, Marouane Fellaini headed home from close range after some excellent play by the visiting team. This was a great start to the match, and it showed how well the team was performing defensively.
The goal came just five minutes later when a corner kick was handled by Nice's goalkeeper, who was unable to clear it cleanly. The ball then bounced back into the box where Dimitri Payet found the opening goal with a superb shot from the edge of the box.
Marseille's dominance continued as they scored another goal in the 47th minute. A cross was collected by Antoine Griezmann, who calmly slotted the ball past the keeper.
It was a stunning performance from the team and a well-deserved victory over their rivals. The fact that they are still unbeaten in the league means they will be well-placed to qualify for the Champions League next season. With only one match left in the campaign, Marseille can look forward to a tough challenge at the Nou Camp.
