Marseille edge past Lens as Gouiri and Abdallah settle Ligue 1 contest

Olympique de Marseille secured a 2-1 victory away to RC Lens on Sunday in the 10th round of Ligue 1, with Amine Gouiri and Keyliane Abdallah scoring the goals.

Gouiri gave the visitors an ideal start when the Algeria forward struck in the second minute. Marseille’s early lead put them in control from the outset, but they were soon forced to withstand sustained pressure from Lens.

The home side restored parity in the 20th minute, bringing Lens back into the contest and setting up an even battle between the two teams.

Neither side was able to find a decisive breakthrough for much of the remainder of the match. Marseille eventually regained the advantage in the closing stages, with Abdallah finding the net in the 82nd minute.

The young forward’s goal came during the final quarter of the match and gave Marseille a lead they held on to, securing all three points on the road.

The result represents an important away win for Olympique de Marseille. Gouiri’s early finish and Abdallah’s late intervention proved decisive as the visitors overcame RC Lens.
