Marseille crash to Ligue 1 defeat against Nantes

Marseille lost their fifth match of the season after two players were sent off, leaving them with nine men and conceding a goal and a late penalty to Nantes.

  • On 04/01/2026, Nantes beat Marseille 2-0 at the Velodrome, with Fabien Centonze opening and Remy Cabella sealing victory from the penalty spot two minutes from time.
  • Arthur Vermeeren's 26th-minute dismissal left Marseille a man down for an overexuberant challenge on Anthony Lopes, and Bilal Nadir was sent off after two quick yellows early in the second half.
  • Despite being down to nine men, Marseille's red cards and goals condemned them to their fifth defeat, leaving them eight points behind league leaders Lens.
  • Nantes provisionally climbed out of the relegation zone after their third victory this season at the expense of Auxerre, with coach Ahmed Kantari saying `It gives us a boost`.
  • The loss denied Marseille a chance to stretch their lead in the top three as they failed to capitalise on fourth-placed Lille's 2-0 defeat to Rennes on Saturday, while attention now shifts to the first Paris derby since 1990 between Paris Saint-Germain and Paris FC.
