Ligue 1 top three before stoppage time, nightmare for Marseille 🥶

This could prove costly at the end of the season.

On Saturday night, after PSG’s defeat to Monaco (0-1), Olympique de Marseille thought they had secured the top spot in Ligue 1 as they were leading 2-1 against Toulouse just minutes before the end.

But, in a scenario exactly like the match against Angers (2-2) exactly a month ago, the Olympians cracked in stoppage time from a long throw-in by Toulouse and conceded a draw (2-2).

As a result, OM remains second, one point behind PSG, and could even see Lens take the Ligue 1 throne on their own.

These missed ends of matches by Marseille are a recurring problem, given that according to @Statsdufoot on X, the Phocaeans have already lost three points in stoppage time this season.

But where it really hurts is that PSG and Lens have respectively gained four and two points during the final minutes of matches.

In other words, without stoppage time, OM would currently be leading with a six-point advantage over PSG and Lens, unlike today where they could be alone in third place in Ligue 1 if Lens beats Angers.
