**Marseille Scores Free-Kick, Narrowly Wins 1-0 in Ligue 1 Round 25**
In the thrilling conclusion to Marseille's Ligue 1 campaign for this season, the team secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against their rivals Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on Sunday night. The match was played at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille, with both teams vying for top spot in the league table.
The match started off as a close affair, with neither side able to break through the other's defense. However, Marseille finally found the breakthrough when midfielder Antoine Griezmann scored a stunning free-kick from the edge of the penalty area. The ball soared over PSG goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who made a heroic save to keep the score level at 0-0.
As the game progressed, Marseille continued to press forward, looking for more chances to break down the PSG defense. But despite their efforts, they were unable to find the back of the net again until the final minutes of the match.
With 10 minutes left, Marseille managed to create another opportunity when striker Dimitri Payet crossed the ball into the box. However, his header was blocked by PSG defender Lucas Moura, leaving Marseille with little chance of scoring.
Just before full-time, Marseille received a crucial assist when substitute midfielder Marc Pogba delivered a cross that was headed home by substitute forward Kevin de Bruyne. This goal proved decisive as Marseille won the match 1-0 and maintained their position in second place in the league standings.
"This is a great result for us," said Marseille coach Didier Deschamps after the match. "We deserved it, but we also had some tough moments. We'll take these points and focus on our next game."
While the win is significant for Marseille, the pressure remains high as they face tough competition in the upcoming matches. However, the result gives them a boost in confidence and keeps them in contention for the title.
The match will be remembered for several reasons: first, Marseille's impressive free-kick; second, the heroics of goalkeeper Courtois; and third, the late equalizer by De Bruyne. It was a testament to Marseille's resilience and determination in the face of adversity, which has been a hallmark of their season so far.
