Gerson struck seven minutes ahead of time when he fired home with an angled shot from Dimitri Payet, leaving second-placed Marseilles with 65 points with four games to go.
They lead the Stade Renais, who thrashed Lorient in a 5-0 six-point finish earlier on Sunday.
Fourth-placed Monaco also have 59 points after a 4-1 win at St.
The top two teams qualify directly for the Champions League group stage while the third-placed team will advance to the third qualifying round.
Marseille got off to a good start and Arkadyuz Milik’s 30m effort was thwarted by Predrag Rajkovic in eight minutes.
But the game failed to shine to life until the end of the second half when Payet found Gerson in the box for Brazil to score his sixth league goal this season.
Racing Strasbourg lost in the race for a Champions League place as they were beaten 1–0 by Lille, prevailing with a late goal by last year’s champions Mehmet Celik.
Strasbourg are now sixth on 56 points, one behind fifth-placed Nice.
Paris Saint-Germain secured their 10th French top-flight title on Saturday with a 1-1 home draw against RC Lens, who are seventh on 54 points.
