Marseille delivered a stunning attacking display on the Côte d’Azur, dismantling Nice 5–1 to temporarily climb to the top of Ligue 1. The visitors opened the scoring early, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang striking in the 11th minute after a precise cross from Mason Greenwood. The English winger then doubled the lead in the 33rd minute — his effort helped by a slight deflection but fully reflecting Marseille’s growing dominance.

Just after the interval, Greenwood completed his brace, capping off a brilliant individual performance. Moments later, U.S. international Timothy Weah made it 4–0, burying any hopes of a Nice comeback.

Nice pulled one back through Cho, but substitute Peixoto restored the four-goal margin to seal a commanding victory for the visitors. For Marseille, the result extends an impressive trend — their sixth win of the season by a margin of at least three goals — while Greenwood moves clear at the top of the scoring charts with his tenth league goal.
