On Saturday, the 22nd round of the French championship began - in the first match, Caen footballers welcomed Marseille at home. The guests from the port city were undoubtedly considered favorites, but there was a tough battle on the field, and both teams had few opportunities to score. However, Rudi Garcia's players finally demonstrated their mastery. They woke up in the second half, when Luiz Gustavo provoked a mistake from Ronny Rodelino in the penalty area and allowed Marseille to take the lead by converting a penalty kick by Dimitri Payet. After this episode, the visitors increased the pressure even more, and soon Caen goalkeeper Remy Vercoutre had to save his team from a shot by Clinton Njie. Later it became clear that this chance was not the last, as Florian Thauvin scored the second goal for Marseille in the 74th minute. Garcia's team achieved their 14th victory of the season and temporarily rose to second place in the league table. However, their chances of staying there are much higher, as Lyon will play against the almost unstoppable Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday. Result: Caen 0 - 2 Marseille [0-1] 55' Dimitri Payet (from the penalty spot) [0-2] 74' Florian Thauvin
