Mason Greenwood continued his strong season in Ligue 1 by netting a decisive late goal in Olympique de Marseille’s 1-0 home victory over AS Monaco on Sunday. The win allowed Marseille to reclaim third place in the league standings.
The match at Stade Vélodrome remained tightly contested throughout, with both sides creating limited chances in a defensively disciplined game. Marseille, looking to bounce back after recent points dropped, struggled to break through a compact Monaco defense for much of the game.
Greenwood, who is spending the season on loan at Marseille, finally broke the deadlock in the closing minutes. The forward capitalized on a defensive lapse to score the only goal of the match, marking his 11th goal in Ligue 1 this season. His assured finish underscored his growing influence in the team and provided a timely boost in Marseille’s push for European qualification.
With the win, Marseille reclaims third place in the Ligue 1 standings, overtaking rivals in a closely packed top-four race. Monaco, who entered the match in strong form, were unable to convert their possession into goals and will look to regroup ahead of their next fixture.
This victory adds to Marseille’s improving domestic form, particularly at home where they have shown resilience and late-game tenacity in recent weeks. Greenwood’s continued success in front of goal has been a key factor in the club’s campaign, and he remains one of the standout performers in Ligue 1 this season.
The next round of fixtures will be crucial as teams jostle for position heading into the second half of the season. Marseille’s ability to secure points in close games could prove decisive as the campaign progresses.
