Olympique de Marseille 2-0 Toulouse FC: Ligue 1 Match Report, 1 November 2026

Everything in this one happened before the interval. Olympique de Marseille 2-0 Toulouse FC was also the half-time score, and the second half at the Vélodrome added nothing to either side's total.

Ninth on 12 points and plus five before kick-off, Marseille have had a season in distinct pieces. They beat Strasbourg 4-0 on the opening night, then lost four straight: at Monaco, at home to Paris FC, at Rennes and at home to Paris Saint-Germain. Three wins in a row followed: 2-0 at Troyes, 5-2 at Angers and 4-3 at home to Le Havre. Eight games, no draws.

Toulouse were 11th on 10 points, plus one, and had been close to the opposite: four draws in eight, and only one defeat since August, 1-0 at home to Lille on 3 September. Away from home they had not lost at all, with a 3-0 win at Le Mans and three 2-2 draws, at Brest, Lorient and Monaco.

That made it four league wins in a row for Marseille, and handed Toulouse their first away defeat of the season. It was Marseille's third clean sheet in nine games. Toulouse had scored twice on each of their previous two visits on record, losing 3-2 and drawing 2-2; this time they did not score at all. Marseille are now unbeaten in five league meetings since August 2024, four of them wins.

The site was not updated between 30 October and 1 November, so no call was ever made on this one.

Marseille move to 15 points from nine games and plus seven. Toulouse stay on 10, now from nine, and their goal difference drops from plus one to minus one, below zero for the first time since their 3-0 win at Le Mans on 16 October. The two-point gap between the clubs before kick-off becomes five.

Last season Marseille finished fifth on 59 points, 1.74 a game. Fifteen from nine is 1.67, reached the hard way. The run of defeats between late August and late September left them on three points from five games; the four wins since have been worth 12, and that has taken them most of the way back to last season's rate. The goals have carried over as well: 20 in nine games, against 63 in 34 last season.

For Toulouse the defeat ends a five-match unbeaten run of two wins and three draws. Ten points from nine games is a mid-table return for a club that finished tenth last season, and one defeat at Marseille does not change that description.

Nothing at either end of the table hangs on the ninth game of 34. It does confirm which way Marseille's season has turned since their 2-1 home defeat by Paris Saint-Germain on 20 September.
