Marseilles and Ajaccio played out a goalless draw in Ligue 1 on Sunday, with both teams failing to make the most of their opportunities to narrow the points gap between them.

The match was played at the Stade de la Mosson in Marseilles, with both sides looking to build on recent wins and secure a place in the top half of the table.

However, neither side could find the breakthrough in a dull affair that lacked any real excitement or clinical finishing from either team.

Marseilles had several chances to take the lead, with key players such as Adama Traore and Florian Thauvin missing crucial shots in the first half.

In contrast, Ajaccio struggled to create clear-cut opportunities, with their best chance coming through a header from the foot of the net by Yohan Cabaye.

Despite the lacklustre display from both sides, the game remained scoreless until the final minutes when Marseilles had a late chance to win the match, but were unable to convert their numerical advantage into a goal.

The result sees Marseilles remain firmly rooted at the bottom of the table, while Ajaccio's hopes of catching their rivals have been dealt a blow.

Overall, it was another frustrating afternoon for both teams, who will be hoping for better things in the future. The points gap between them remains unchanged, with only one point separating the two sides at the bottom of the table.
