Overview
- Ludovic Ajorque headed a first‑half brace to sink OM, and Mason Greenwood saw a late penalty saved as Brest won 2-0.
- Marseille stays fourth on 40 points, five behind third‑place Lyon, and could come under renewed pressure from Lille and Rennes.
- Habib Beye said the squad is suffering from a loss of confidence and a lack of aggression in the box, and he will take the team to Marbella for a short reset.
- The defense faltered again, with Nayef Aguerd and Benjamin Pavard struggling against Ajorque, marking the ninth time in 12 matches in 2026 that OM conceded at least twice.
- Appointed this week on a deal through June 2027, Beye has set targets of a top‑three finish and a Coupe de France push, with Lyon next in the league before a quarter‑final against Toulouse.
