Greenwood Strike Lifts Marseille Over Toulouse in Controlled 1-0 Win

Habib Beye said he substituted the booked forward to eliminate any risk of a red card.

Overview

  • The English forward’s first-half finish was his 15th in Ligue 1 and 25th in all competitions, moving OM provisionally up to third.
  • Igor Paixão supplied the assist for the winner, his fifth in the league this season.
  • Gerónimo Rulli posted his sixth clean sheet as OM earned their first Ligue 1 shutout in nearly three months with a compact display.
  • Beye explained he withdrew Greenwood shortly after a caution to prevent a possible sending off while protecting the lead.
  • Toulouse produced a subdued league performance and now focus on a Coupe de France semi-final against Lens.
