A stoic defensive effort from Olympique Marseille helped the visitors to all three points against Nice in Ligue 1.
Nice lost at home to a resolute Olympique Marseille team in this Ligue 1 fixture.
The only goal of the game came in the fifteenth minute, through Andre-Pierre Gignac.
The France striker powerfully headed home a cross from his club and international colleague Mathieu Valbuena, who again pulled the strings in midfield.
It was at the back where l’OM required their best performances though, with goalkeeper Steve Mandanda making some timely saves, and centre back Lucas Mendes forced into plenty of last ditch tackles and blocks.
Their efforts helped Marseille survive though, and the three points they gain help them retain second place in Ligue 1.
