A goal from Jonathan Gradit in the 90th minute secured a 1-0 victory for Lens, propelling them into the European spots in Ligue 1 and plunging Marseille into further struggles. Unable to break a three-game winless streak, Marseille fell in the standings.

Frank Haise's side, who are set to face Sevilla in the Champions League, reaped the rewards of their increased ambition. During a corner delivered by Angelo Fulgini, Jonathan Gradit rose above, heading the ball past the Spanish goalkeeper Pau López.

The Lens victory in the match that concluded the twelfth round places them in the sixth position, securing a spot in European competitions, while Marseille, with only one point from their last nine available, drops to the tenth position.
