Marseille secured a narrow victory over Lyon on Sunday, thanks to a crucial free-kick from Payet. The French club managed to secure all three points despite trailing at half-time and falling behind twice during the game.
In a thrilling encounter, Marseille's attacking play was stifled by Lyon's solid defense. However, Payet stepped up to the plate, scoring the only goal of the match in the second half after he converted a free-kick that had been sent into the box by Adrien Rabiot.
The win was a much-needed boost for Marseille, who have struggled since losing star striker Florian Thauvin to injury earlier this season. The win also helped them maintain their position in the top six of the Ligue 1 table, which means they still have a chance of qualifying for Europe next season.
Despite the result, there were some negative moments for Marseille. The team's defense was exposed again as Lyon scored two goals in the first half through Anthony Martial and Bertrand Traoré. However, Payet's late equalizer gave his side hope and ultimately delivered the result they needed.
Overall, it was a tough match for both teams, but Marseille emerged victorious thanks to Payet's late heroics. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the league reacts to this victory and whether Marseille can continue their momentum going forward.
