Marseille had a disappointing second half, relinquishing their lead to Monaco. Falcao capitalized on a defensive lapse from Mendès to level the score. Marseille’s lackluster attack, with Valbuena out of form, Payet nearly invisible, and Gignac isolated, struggled to make an impact. The only positive, André Ayew’s revelation, was overshadowed by a yellow card.
Monaco secured the victory as Rivière found the net just in front of Mendes and Nkoulou, eluding Mandanda’s defense (2-1). This loss marked Marseille’s first defeat of the season in Ligue 1.
