Unseen hero settles Lille's trip to Marseille late

Olivier Giroud nodded the winner in the 86th minute as Lille beat Marseille 2-1.

Introduced to add penalty box presence (78.), Giroud immediately became a target for crosses against Les Olympiens. He then timed his run perfectly to glance in Thomas Meunier's delivery at the far post (86.).

The veteran forward's cameo was efficient and assertive. He won three aerial duels, made two clearances inside his own half, and completed all four passes, giving Lille an outlet and relieving pressure when needed.

Because Lille fed the flanks and delivered early, Giroud's movement and strength offered a reliable focal point against Les Phocéens, turning one clean chance into the decisive moment.

Lille remain fifth on 47 points. Les Olympiens visit Monaco next. Lille host Lens.
