Greenwood punches past a wall of legs
He had been found by Paixao but perhaps he should have moved on afterwards.
Florucz goes behind the defense
Fortunately he doesn’t take the ball towards the goal and it doesn’t lead to anything, but OM are vulnerable.
Yellow card for Weah
The American had been caught in control of his opponent. He makes a mistake and is logically punished.
The pace drops a little
The two teams have been observing each other for a few minutes.
The Belgians do not try to have the ball
They prefer to operate on counterattacks, that’s how they opened the scoring at the start of the match.
OM multiplies the passes
The Marseillais take their time to try to find the opening. Greenwood returns a lot to the axis to help with creation.
Paixao’s 4th goal in the European campaign
The Brazilian is the man of the Champions League for Marseille this season.
PAIXAO EQUALS WITH A LITTLE SUCCESS!
MARSEILLE WILL HAVE REACTED QUICKLY! Paixao combines well on the left side, he fails to hit but the ball arrives at Aubameyang, whose shot is poorly repelled by the goalkeeper. Paixao, who continued, can take the opportunity to conclude at point blank range. 1-1!
Good center of Khalaili
Rulli deploys well to catch the ball, a Belgian attacker was just behind. The Marseillais are having difficulty containing Khalaili.
Weah’s save at the halfway line
On a Marseille corner, the ball is lost and Union Saint-Gilloise goes on the counterattack. In one pass, the defense is pierced and it takes a last-minute tackle from Weah to counter the ball and prevent a face-to-face with Rulli.
The possession is Marseille
From the goal, Roberto De Zerbi’s players monopolize the ball, but without succeeding in approaching the goal for the moment.
OM concede again at the start of the match
Against Newcastle, Toulouse and Lille, in the last three meetings, the Marseillais have already conceded a goal in the first quarter of an hour. OM are still in difficulty and will have to react from now on.
KHALAILI OPENS THE SCORE FOR THE BELGIANS!
MARSEILLE STARTS BADLY! On the first situation of Union Saint-Gilloise, Khalaili gets on his left foot, triggers and deceives Rulli, who is caught at the near post with the powerful shot. 1-0 for the Union!
Weah tries to outflank Niang
He ends up on the ground, maybe there was a foul but the referee said nothing.
Greenwood’s first call
He is very well served by O’Riley, but the Englishman does not take advantage of it afterwards.
Let’s go to Brussels!
The kick-off is given in this meeting between Union Saint-Gilloise and Olympique de Marseille.

ABOUT: The ull – It, Mulus, Arith, Emerson – Vereen, Hourborg, O’Rey – Greenywood, Audino.
OM have good memories against Belgian clubs
Last time, against Oostende, a certain Valère Germain scored a hat-trick.
Greenwood not very decisive in the Champions League
The English winger, circling in Ligue 1, has struggled more on the European scene while Aubameyang and Paixao have both had notable matches. Mason Greenwood only scored once in the first five days, against Ajax.
Union Saint-Gilloise at the same level as OM
In this first phase of the Champions League, the two teams are on six points after five matches. Over the next few days, OM will meet Bruges and Liverpool, while Saint-Gilles will face Bayern and Atalanta. The points to be taken this evening risk being decisive.
Marseille must win in the Champions League
After their victory against Newcastle on the last day, OM regained a place among the top 24 in the ranking. The Marseillais must, however, stop their bad series, after a draw and a defeat in their last two matches in Ligue 1.
The eleven of the Union Saint Gilloise
Scherpen – Khalaïli, Mac Allister, Burgess, Leysen – Van De Perre, Zorgane, Schoofs – Niang, Rodriguez, Florucz.
The compo de l’OM
The ull – It, Mrough, Mristor, Emerson’s – Vereen, Hourborg, O’Rey – Greenywood, Audino.
Police vigilance around Lotto Park
Increased vigilance in Brussels and mainly around Lotto Park in the Anderlecht district where the match between Union Saint-Gilloise and OM is taking place. Around 1,000 Marseille supporters are expected and their presence in the city center has been prohibited as well as individual travel. Everyone had an appointment by bus or minibus for an escort convoy to avoid possible friction on the way to the stadium.
In recent days, a rumor has worried the authorities: the desire of ultra supporters of other clubs, notably those of Anderlecht, to come and do battle with the Marseille ultras.
In the city center, the instructions were visibly respected, because the afternoon passed peacefully, with a police presence in the pedestrian streets of Brussels. Tension could rise a notch near the stadium when the Marseille procession arrives.
