Marseille, France – Rod Fanni scored late at the Stade Velodrome on Saturday to help Marseille move into second place in Ligue 1 with a 1-0 defeat of Valenciennes.
The two sides appeared to be heading for a scoreless draw until the fourth minute of stoppage time when Fanni rose above his mark to head home a corner kick delivered by Jeremy Morel.
Fanni's second goal of the season sees Marseille improve to 46 points on the season, five points shy of first-place PSG and one point clear of third-place Lyon.
The result places added pressure on PSG and Lyon to pick up maximum points from their respective matches on Sunday as they take on Sochaux and Bordeaux, respectively.
Valenciennes has dropped three of its last four league games to remain on 33 points for the season.
Toulouse and Troyes played to a dramatic 2-2 draw at the Stade Municipal de Toulouse on Saturday.

Troyes has drawn three straight league games to remain second from bottom with 19 points while Toulouse improves to 32 points.
