With the result, Olympique de Marseille reached 60 points in the French Championship and continues in the wake of leader Paris Saint-Germain, who has 66. In turn, Montpellier has 37 points and is only in 11th place. In the next round, the Marseille team visits Lorient, while the Montpellier team receives Toulouse.
In the first stage, the visitors opened the scoring with Nordin in the 12th minute, after a fulminating counterattack led by Khazri. Initially, the assistant marked offside in the bid, but VAR validated the goal. However, at 42 minutes, Olympique de Marseille tied the match with Guendouzi in a penalty kick.
The teams came back from the break with mismatched aim and failed to create many goal chances. Even dominating most of the offensive actions and counting on the support of their fans, Olympique de Marseille went blank in the second stage.
