On Sunday evening, the first match of the 34th round of the French championship was played, in which "Marseille", currently in fourth place and still fighting for medals, hosted "Lorient", who until this evening was in the relegation zone. Showing poor form at the moment, Marcelo Bielsa's players suffered another defeat against the underdogs and managed to concede five goals in their own fortress. The guests took a 2-0 lead already in the 14th minute, with goals from Jordan Ayew and Francois Bellugou. However, after the break, "Marseille" managed to fight back and equalize the score. The scoreboard showed a 2-2 draw in the 67th minute. The real action started after that. Just a minute later, Romain Philippoteaux once again put "Lorient" ahead, but shortly after, Michy Batshuayi responded with a goal. Then, eight minutes later, Jordan Ayew scored his second goal, and a few moments later, Mattias Autret found the net. The hosts could not find any response and lost 5-3. Interestingly, "Lorient" only controlled the ball for 34% of the game time and managed to hit the target only 6 times. In total, the winners had 10 shots on goal in that evening. After the victory, "Lorient" temporarily climbed to the fourteenth place, while Marseille's eleven fell to the seventeenth position for the weekend. Result: "Marseille" 3 - 5 "Lorient" [0-1] 9' Jordan Ayew [0-2] 14' Francois Bellugou [1-2] 59' Andre Ayew [2-2] 67' Jeremy Morel [2-3] 68' Romain Philippoteaux [3-3] 76' Michy Batshuayi [3-4] 84' Jordan Ayew [3-5] 86' Mattias Autret
