Joaquin Panichelli (L), who scored Strasbourg's added time equaliser battles with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg of Marseille

Overview

  • Strasbourg salvaged a 2-2 draw through Joaquin Panichelli’s 97th-minute penalty after Emerson Palmieri conceded a foul.
  • Marseille had led 2-0 through Mason Greenwood’s finish from Amine Gouiri’s pass and a curled strike by Gouiri early in the second half.
  • About 20–30 supporters tried to force entry to the presidential hospitality areas after the match, with objects thrown before stewards and police intervened.
  • Access points were locked down and CRS officers were deployed, and calm was later restored following the attempted breach.
  • The game came days after Roberto De Zerbi’s exit, with Jacques Abardonado in interim charge as ultras staged a kick-off boycott and banners called for Frank McCourt and Pablo Longoria to leave.
