Algerian internationals Himad Abdelli and Amine Gouiri played key roles in Olympique de Marseille's tense 4-3 win against Le Havre in the eighth round of the French league. Abdelli netted his third league goal in the 55th minute, while Gouiri provided an assist in the 50th minute, bringing his season tally to five goals and two assists. Despite Marseille holding a 4-1 lead before both players were substituted late in the game, tactical decisions by manager Bruno Genesio led to two quick goals for Le Havre, nearly jeopardizing the result. Defender Ahmed Touba started for Le Havre, and Rayan Khebbaz remained on the Marseille bench. Following this match, Marseille sits in eighth place with 12 points, while Le Havre remains at the bottom of the table.
