The closing match of the 12th day of L1 saw Lens deliver a stab to OM (1-0).

The closing poster of the 12e lifting of Ligue 1 almost made Bollaert go crazy this Sunday. Taken by their European obligations this week, Lensois and Marseillais certainly lacked the juice to justify their ambitions for victory. And yet the Sang et Or, at the end of boredom and through a festival of technical approximations, knew how to force their luck by finding the fault at the last minute.

It was on a set piece – a corner hit by Fulgini – that Gradit placed the header needed to snatch the three points in favor of RCL (1-0, 90e). The final blow for an OM who until then had shown themselves to be solid but without any offensive genius. Neither Vitinha, holder, nor Aubameyang, launched in the 70the minute, did not weigh enough on the match to offer theirs any prospects of success.

4 defeats in 6 days

Weighed down by four defeats over the last six days of the championship, the Marseillais, tenth in the standings, fall into the second part of the table with only two lengths ahead of the red zone. The Lensois, after a catastrophic start to the season, are regaining color and climb into sixth position, with three points more on the clock than their evening opponents (who have a match to make up against Lyon), and four points behind. from their rivals Lille, fourth.
