Marseille beat Reims 2-1 in the Ligue 1 match on Sunday, thanks to a stunning free-kick from forward Dimitri Payet. The match was played at Stade Vélodrome, and it was a tense affair throughout.

Payet, who is known for his exceptional free-kick abilities, delivered one of the most impressive efforts of the season. His strike was powerful and accurate, and it found the back of the net just before half-time.

The goal gave Marseille the lead and they went on to dominate the second half, creating numerous chances but failing to score. However, their persistence paid off when forward Florian Thauvin scored a late penalty to seal the win for the home team.

Reims were unable to compete with Marseille in the final third, and they struggled to create any real chances. Their defense was also let down by some poor defending, which allowed Marseille to take control of the game.

Overall, it was a great performance from Marseille, who have now moved up to fifth place in the table. They will be hoping to continue their good form as they look to secure a top-four finish this season.

In contrast, Reims will be disappointed with their result, and they will need to improve their defensive performances if they want to avoid relegation. Despite their struggles, Reims still have a chance of survival, and they will be looking to bounce back against bottom-of-the-table Nice next weekend.
