Amine Harit and Himad Abdelli scored in the second half to secure Marseille's vital triumph at Stade de l'Aube, ending a five-match winless run that had threatened to derail their campaign.
The goals proved decisive in what has been a difficult start to the season for the Provençal outfit. With only two wins from their opening matches, Marseille had found themselves battling in the lower reaches of the standings, piling pressure on the squad and coaching staff.
Sunday's performance demonstrated renewed urgency and attacking intent, particularly after the interval when both Harit and Abdelli found the back of the net to seal the points. The away victory offers Marseille a platform to build momentum as they seek to climb the table and distance themselves from the drop zone.
The win represents an important psychological boost for a club with considerably higher ambitions in Ligue 1. How the team responds in coming weeks will prove crucial to determining whether this result marks a genuine turning point in their season.
