Olympique de Marseille secured a 1-0 victory over Toulouse FC in the 25th matchday of Ligue 1 on March 7, 2026, at the Stadium in Toulouse. Mason Greenwood scored the only goal with an assist from Igor Paixão, propelling OM temporarily to third place. This win serves as revenge three days after their Coupe de France elimination by the same opponent.
Olympique de Marseille exacted revenge on Toulouse FC with a 1-0 win in the 25th matchday of Ligue 1, played on March 7, 2026, at the Stadium in Toulouse. Three days after their quarter-final elimination in the Coupe de France against the Violets (2-2, 4-3 on penalties), the Marseillais responded under coach Habib Beye.
Mason Greenwood opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a powerful left-footed strike, off a cut-back from Igor Paixão who had outpaced Warren Kamanzi. This goal marked Greenwood's 15th in Ligue 1 and 25th across all competitions this season, securing OM's second straight league victory. The English number 10, formerly of Manchester United, was substituted at the 65th minute after receiving a yellow card ten minutes earlier following a tussle with Aron Donnum.
Igor Paixão, who had played nearly 90 minutes in the Coupe de France midweek, stayed on the pitch for over an hour and a half. The Brazilian provided his fifth Ligue 1 assist and was tireless, contributing defensively and offensively.
Gerónimo Rulli achieved his sixth clean sheet of the season, the first in Ligue 1 since mid-December against Monaco. The defense, featuring the Balerdi-Pavard partnership and the Kondogbia-Hojbjerg-Timber midfield, was compact and restricted Toulouse's chances. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, quiet with seven Ligue 1 goals, missed an opportunity in the 28th minute.
For Toulouse, coached by Carles Martinez Novell and sitting 12th in the standings, this loss confirms a poor run: four defeats and two draws in their last six matches. The Violets have won only one of nine games against top-7 teams. Yann Gboho hit the crossbar in the 52nd minute, but the team couldn't overturn the deficit despite a second-half response with Santiago Hidalgo's introduction.
These three points put pressure on Olympique Lyonnais for third place, which qualifies for the Champions League. Since the 2026 resumption, Marseille has recorded four wins, three losses, and two draws.
