Today, the first match of the 20th round of "Ligue 1" took place, where French football fans had the opportunity to watch the game demonstrated by "Marseille," who currently holds the first place in the league table.
Marcelo Bielsa's players fought against the tenth-placed team "Montpellier" as visitors. There is a high probability that after this weekend's matches, Marseille's players will no longer be called leaders, as they suffered a painful defeat this evening.
Despite the fact that the visitors controlled the ball a bit longer, after playing more than half an hour, "Montpellier" forward Kevin Berigaud opened the scoring with a great shot from outside the penalty area.
Hosts managed to extend their lead after the break - in the 62nd minute, after some mistakes by the guests' defenders, the ball was sent into the net by Paul Bastien Lasne. Then, Marseille's chances of taking points from Montpellier became very uncertain.
However, the strongest team in the first round of "Ligue 1" did not give up and tried to at least equalize. In the 68th minute, Bill Omrani managed to score a technical shot after a pass from Brice Dja Djedje. However, that was all Marseille could do in this evening's match.
Tomorrow, Paris Saint-Germain, currently third in the table, will play away against the outsider "Bastia," while Lyon, holding the second position, will host the average team "Toulouse" at home. Marseille's competitors are not the strongest. If they win their matches, Marcelo Bielsa's team would immediately drop two places lower.
In addition, on Wednesday, the previously postponed match between "Lille" and "Evian" was played. Thanks to a goal scored by Adam Traore, Lille's players celebrated a victory and climbed to eleventh place, while their opponents remain in fifteenth place.
