Les Phocéens carried the greater threat after the restart, registering 19 attempts with nine on target. Lukas Hradecky kept Les Rouge et Blanc in front with seven saves, denying Igor Paixão and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg among others.

Six minutes were added and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw a close-range effort blocked as the visitors pressed, but the hosts' defence held firm.
