Levski's upcoming Europa League opponents Marseille continued to put their sluggish start to the domestic campaign behind them, securing a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 victory with a 2-0 win over Toulouse in Round 9. The triumph moves Les Olympiens onto 15 points, sitting just two adrift of fourth-placed Paris FC, who defeated Monaco 3-1 earlier in the evening. Toulouse, meanwhile, saw their five-match unbeaten league run snapped, leaving them in the bottom half of the table on 10 points.
The hosts largely wrapped up the contest at the Stade Vélodrome before the break, scoring both of their goals in the first half. Less than 60 seconds were on the clock when Moroccan playmaker Amine Harit opened the scoring for the Mediterranean side.
