Paris Saint-Germain top the standings with 53 points.
Lees-Melou scored two minutes from time after stealing a Marseille ball from a throw-in to make a fine individual run into the box and beat goalkeeper Ruben Blanco.
Gennaro Gattuso's side had better possession throughout the game but could not capitalise on their numerical advantage after Brest striker Steve Mounie was sent off in the 60th minute.
