The Lensois managed to bend their Marseille rivals in an incandescent Bollaert stadium, thanks in particular to their courageous captain, the Ivorian Seko Fofana, author of a magnificent goal with a dry strike outside the area. Loïs Openda doubled the score in the second half before Dimitri Payet came to give OM some hope. This victory allows Lens to take second place alone.
