Marseille are now two points ahead of third-placed Lille and three ahead of fourth-placed Monaco with three games left.
Lyon, Nice, and Strasbourg are one point behind Monaco and separated on goal difference in what promises to be a hectic race to the line for a place in Europe’s elite club competition.
Paris Saint-Germain had already clinched a record-extending 13th Ligue 1 crown last weekend, the top three sides in France qualify automatically for the Champions League, with the side finishing fourth entering qualifying.
Earlier Sunday, Lille kept up its push for an automatic spot with a 2-0 win at Angers for its third straight victory.
Elsewhere, Nantes picked up a useful point in its fight to avoid relegation following a 0-0 draw with Toulouse.
Toulouse held on despite having French striker Noah Edjouma sent off late in the first half and avoided a sixth straight loss.
