Troyes
Olympique Marseille
Outstanding performance
Olympique Marseille•GoalkeeperMarseille made their possession and quality count despite being outshot 15-5, showing the clinical edge that separates a title contender from a relegation-threatened side. Troyes actually created the better chances on paper, including two big chances missed, but lacked the composure to punish a Marseille side content to sit back and absorb pressure before striking through Harit's well-taken finish. Himad Abdelli's stoppage-time penalty put a flattering gloss on the scoreline after a heavily rotated Marseille side made nine substitutions to manage the game out. For Troyes, sitting 18th with a goal difference problem clearly reflected in their low goal expectation, this is another damaging defeat that leaves their survival hopes looking increasingly bleak, while Marseille continue to tick over efficiently in their pursuit of the title race.
