Marseille and Ajaccio played out a goalless draw in their Ligue 1 match on Sunday, leaving both teams still at the same points gap in the race for the top spot.
The game was dominated by both sides' lacklustre attacking play, with neither team managing to create many clear-cut opportunities throughout the match.
In the end, it was a case of two teams playing out a frustrating stalemate, with neither side able to break down the other's defense.
Despite this, there were some positive signs for both teams as they look towards the second half of the season.
For Marseille, who sit second in the table, the draw is a reminder that they need to improve their attack if they want to challenge for the title. The French club has struggled to score goals so far this season, and will hope to find some form soon.
On the other hand, Ajaccio, currently sitting fourth in the table, can take heart from their performance against Marseille. They have been one of the most consistent teams in Ligue 1 so far this season, and will be hoping to continue their good form going forward.
Overall, it was a disappointing result for both teams, but one that could set them up for success in the coming weeks. As the season progresses, we'll see how each team performs and whether they can narrow the points gap between themselves and the leaders.
