Marseille beat Toulouse 2-0 at the Stade Vélodrome.

The Ligue 1 clash between Marseille and Toulouse unfolded on 1 November 2026 under the lights of the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille. Both sides entered the match looking to add three points, but the home side quickly imposed its intent.

How it unfolded

The opening minute could not have been more dramatic. Amine Harit opened the scoring for Marseille, firing a right-footed shot from outside the box into the bottom left corner after a precise assist from fellow attacker Amine Gouiri. The early strike put Marseille 1-0 up and set the tone for the rest of the afternoon.

Twenty-four minutes later, Marseille doubled its lead. Amine Gouiri, who had supplied the assist for Harit, turned the tables by finding the net himself. He received a headed pass from Igor Paixão in the centre of the box and slotted a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner, making it 2-0.

The first half saw Marseille dominate possession and create the clear chances, while Toulouse struggled to find a foothold. Just before the break, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg was shown a yellow card for a bad foul, marking the first booking of the match.

In the second half, the tempo remained in Marseille’s favour. CJ Egan-Riley received a yellow card in the 78th minute, his only caution of the evening. Toulouse’s hopes of a comeback were further dented when Santiago Hidalgo was booked for a bad foul in the 86th minute. No further goals were added, and Marseille held on for a 2-0 win.
