Defender Christopher Wooh scored from a corner in the fourth minute of stoppage time for Rennes, but after a VAR check referee Mickaël Leleu ruled it out for a handball. Forward Rémy Labeau Lascary put Lens ahead in the 39th and, after influential midfielder Téji Savanier twice went close for the visitors in the second half, a stoppage-time own goal from defender Becir Omeragic made it 2-0.
Marseille last won the league in 2010, with Didier Deschamps as coach. By comparison, Paris Saint-Germain had won just two of its record 12 league titles by then.
