Lille secured their place in the playoffs for the French Ligue 1 season after securing a 2-1 victory over rivals Marseille on Sunday. The match was played at Stade de France and saw both teams battle it out to secure their spot in the top two spots.

The game started off with Marseille taking the lead early on, but Lille fought back to level things up before going ahead with a stunning goal from Jonathan David. However, Marseille refused to give up and fought back to take the lead again, with a well-taken strike from Dimitri Payet.

The match went into extra time, and despite some tense moments, Lille managed to hold on to claim the victory. It was a hard-fought win that will certainly boost the team's confidence heading into the final few games of the season.

With this result, Lille now has a comfortable gap between them and their nearest rivals, meaning they can focus solely on winning their remaining fixtures to secure their spot in the playoffs. A win against Nantes on Tuesday night is essential if they want to clinch their spot in the playoffs, and they'll need all three points to ensure their future in the competition.

Overall, this win was a crucial one for Lille, as it secured their spot in the playoffs and gave them a much-needed boost of confidence heading into the final stretch of the season. With just three more games left, there's still plenty of football to be played, but Lille have shown they're capable of delivering when it counts.
