Marseille secured their fifth win in the Ligue 1 season after a narrow victory over Toulouse at the Stade Velodrome on Saturday night. The match was dominated by Guendouzi's midfield mastery as he led the team to secure a clean sheet.

The game started off evenly and neither side managed to create any significant opportunities until the 25th minute when Toulouse midfielder, Kader Boudiaf, found himself one-on-one with Marseille goalkeeper, Mathieu Courtois. However, the Frenchman made a great save to deny his opponent a goal.

However, it wasn't long before Marseille took control of the match. In the 37th minute, the French club doubled their lead through a well-taken goal from substitute, Ousmane Dembélé. The winger picked up a pass from Florian Thauvin and calmly slotted the ball into the net from close range.

Toulouse tried to come back in the second half but were unable to find a way past the strong Marseille defense. In fact, it was only in the 84th minute that Toulouse finally managed to get on the scoreboard through a penalty kick from their captain, Clément Grenier.

Despite the equalizer, Marseille held on for the full 90 minutes to secure a hard-fought victory. It was a dominant performance from Guendouzi who controlled the midfield throughout the match, providing the necessary support for his teammates.

Overall, it was a solid display of football from both sides, but it was Marseille who emerged victorious thanks to the exceptional play of their midfielders. With this win, Marseille moves closer to securing a top-four finish in the league table.
