For the first time since October 22 last year, Olympique de Marseille suffered a defeat in the French championship. Nice won 3:1 at the Velodrome and prevented the hosts to separate themselves from Lance in the second position, which is important for the direct place in the Champions League. Earlier today, Lens also failed to win, as they played 1:1 with Brest, who is fighting for survival, however, turned out to be that a point they earned was enough for a tie with Olympique.𝙊𝙣 𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩 🎯Gaëtan Laborde has scored 6 goals vs Marseille in #Ligue1UberEats, his highest tally against a single opponent 👊#OMOGCN 1⃣-2⃣ pic.twitter.com/93AbHHHcmU— Ligue 1 English (@Ligue1_ENG) February 5, 2023 An exciting match was played in a famous French port. The guests were more concrete and, above all, more concentrated than their rivals. Sofiane Diop and Gaetan Laborde responded best to when the ball sent from Khephren Thuram, the son of former French football star Liliane Thiram, bounced back. It was in the 38th and 44th minutes, which suggests that Olympique players were already deconcentrated.Thierry Henry laughs at OGC Nice attacker Sofiane Diop who caused himself an injury with a failed knee-slide celebration.

In the 60th minute, they performed an excellent action on the right side, and in the penalty area from the second plan, alone, Ruslan Malinovsky entered and scored his first goal since his recent arrival from Atalanta. It was a signal for Igor Tudor’s team that they could turn things around, but as time went on they became more and more powerless, and the winner of this match was definitely determined by Bilal Brahimi in the 85th minute. The Algerian shot brilliantly from the right side to the far corner, and this time Pau Lopez couldn’t even reach the ball. With these three points, Nice is back in the race for a European visa.LE MAGNIFIQUE BUT DE BILAL BRAHIMI FACE À MARSEILLE 🎯pic.twitter.com/prJoXyZ7Gc— Algérie Football Média 🇩🇿 (@DZFOOTBALLDZ) February 5, 2023 LIGUE 1 – Matchday 22Saturday PSG – Toulouse 2-1 (1-1)/Hakimi 38, Messi 58 – van den Boomen 20/Troyes – Lyon 1-3 (0-1)/Lopes 62 – Barcola 43, Cherki 59, Lacazette 90+3/Rennes – Lille 1-3 (1-0)/Gouiri 1, Zhegrova 59, Cabella 85, Andre Gomes 90+4/SundayClermont – Monaco 0-2 (0-2)/Maripan 3, Embolo 13/Ajaccio – Nantes 2 (0-0)/Guessand 64, Blas 89-pen/Auxerre – Reims 0-0Lorient – Angers 0-0Strasbourg – Montpellier 2-0 (1-0)/Diallo 1, 45/Brest – Lens 1-1 (0-0)Le Douaron 54- (Gradit 83/Marseille – Nice 1-3 (0-2)/Malinovskyi 60, Diop 38, Laborde 44, Brahimi 85/
