Reims' failure led to Marseille's victory with a free kick winner in the last minute. In the match between Reims and Marseille on Sunday, both teams were playing for their survival in Ligue 1. Reims had been struggling all season and needed a win to stay in the league, while Marseille was fighting for a top-four finish.

In the first half, Reims took control of the game with some solid defensive play and some good chances. However, they were unable to convert any of those opportunities into goals. The second half started much like the first, but Marseille came out strong and quickly took the lead through a well-taken goal from a free kick.

Marseille then added another goal in the 82nd minute, this time from a penalty after Reims defender Mathias Sanchis was fouled by Marseille forward Florian Thauvin. This gave Marseille a two-goal lead and seemed to put them in control of the match.

However, Reims did not give up easily. They continued to press and create chances, and in the final minutes of the match, they finally found their breakthrough. A corner kick was deflected towards the penalty area, where Reims striker Yoann Gourcuff headed the ball back towards the penalty spot. Marseille goalkeeper Romain Salin failed to clear the ball, and Gourcuff pounced on it to score the equalizer.

The match went into extra time, and Marseille had the upper hand until the very end. With just seconds left on the clock, Reims pulled off a stunning comeback with a free kick winner. Marseille goalkeeper Romain Salin made a save on a header, but the rebound fell straight to Reims player Benjamin Bourigeaud, who slotted home the winning goal.

It was a dramatic finish that saw Reims come from behind to defeat Marseille and secure their place in Ligue 1. It was a reminder that anything can happen in football, and that even when you think one team has the advantage, there is always a chance for a comeback.
