Hours after the death of former Marseille president Tapie at the age of 78, Jorge Sampaoli's side lost 2-0 at Lille as Jonathan David struck twice for the second league game running. The Canadian moved level with Laborde at the top of the scoring charts after the Stade Pierre-Mauroy paid tribute to Tapie, the driving force behind Marseille's victory in the inaugural Champions League in 1993.
"RIP Boss," said a banner held up by Marseille fans. There was no minute of applause or silence observed, but a photo of Tapie was displayed for a few seconds on the giant screens in the ground.
Marseille players wore black armbands as fans chanted Tapie's name. However, that prompted some hardline Lille fans to jeer. "All the players had heard the news but we didn't talk about it, we just talked about the game plan we had to put in place," said Sampaoli.
Aurelien Tchouameni scored against his former club to spark Monaco to a 3-0 victory over Bordeaux.
