LIVE - OM-Strasbourg: Marseille leads thanks to Greenwood despite Strasbourg's dominance

In a closely contested match, Marseille leads Strasbourg 1-0 thanks to a goal by Greenwood, amidst a performance where Strasbourg demonstrates significant dominance.

During the 22nd round of matches, Olympique de Marseille faces Strasbourg at the Stade Vélodrome without their head coach Roberto de Zerbi, who was dismissed earlier in the week. This absence looms over the team as they strive to maintain composure and performance on the field. As the match progresses, Marseille manages to score first, with Greenwood delivering a brilliant goal despite struggling for possession against a strong Strasbourg side.

As the first half concludes, Marseille finds itself under considerable pressure from Strasbourg, who dominate play but fail to convert their chances into goals. Greenwood's opening goal late in the first half serves as a turning point, giving Marseille a 1-0 lead going into the break. The match is tense, with both teams probing for weaknesses, but it is Marseille’s defense that holds firm against Strasbourg's aggressive offense.

In the second half, Strasbourg aims to equalize quickly and make necessary substitutions to bolster their attack. The match continues with high stakes for both teams; Marseille looks to exploit their lead, whilst Strasbourg pushes hard for a deserving goal to even the score. The dynamic of the match highlights the unpredictable nature of football, particularly when a team is challenged yet manages to score from limited opportunities.
