On this evening started the 22nd round of the French championship. The only match of the evening featured the clubs Marseille and Montpellier. The home team, coached by Rudi Garcia, took the lead in the fourth minute with Bafetimbi Gomis scoring after a precise pass from Remy Cabella. The same Gomis doubled the host's lead before the end of the first half, when Cabella assisted him accurately once again. Finally, defender Rolando finished the first part of the match with a precise header. In the 49th minute, a penalty was converted by Riyad Boudebouz, reducing Montpellier's deficit, but Gomis soon completed his hat-trick. At the end of the match, a handball in the penalty area led to a red card for Montpellier's player William Remy, and Florian Thauvin scored from the penalty spot. The 5-1 victory allows Marseille's players to temporarily surpass Guingamp and rise to fifth place.
