The only goal of the match was scored by CJEgan-Riley, who, after a cross from Emerson, headed accurately to the right corner, sealing the victory for the blues.
The match began with a balanced game. LeHavre tried to apply pressure from the start, with shots from MbwanaSamatta and EnzoKoffi that were rejected by the Marseille defense. The first goal came in the 17th minute, when Egan-Riley took advantage of an Emerson cross after a corner. From that moment on, Marseille took control of the match, with several scoring opportunities that were thwarted by the solidity of LeHavre's goal and the performance of their goalkeeper.
Throughout the second half, LeHavre looked for the tie with several attacking plays. Striker NayefAguerd tried to head in from the center of the area, but was stopped by the Marseille wall. In the defensive zone, AmineHarit received a foul that led to a set piece, but the ball failed to overcome the defense barrier. Marseille, for their part, maintained possession and pressure, with AmineGouiri and Pierre-EmileHøjbjerg trying to create chances, although without success.
The final result, 1‑0 in favor of Marseille, will keep the blues at the top of the table, while LeHavre will continue fighting to avoid the relegation zone. With this victory, Marseille consolidates itself as one of the strongest contenders of the season, while LeHavre will have to review its defensive strategy in the next matches to improve its position in Ligue1.
