Olympique de Marseille is currently trailing 1-0 at home at the Stade Vélodrome against Olympiakos at halftime of this second matchday of the Europa League. The Phocaeans were caught off guard at the end of the first half by a Greek team that was both realistic and dynamic.
The key moment of this first half occurred in the 42nd minute. From a penetrating cross into the Marseille box, Santiago Hezze executed an impressive acrobatic finish, rising higher than everyone from a difficult position to send the ball into the net and give the visitors the lead (0-1).
Olympiakos even came close to doubling their lead in stoppage time when Roman Yaremchuk found the back of the net in the 45th+2 minute, but this goal was quickly ruled out for offside by the assistant referee. The Marseillais head to the locker room under the pressure of the score and will need to show a different face in the second half to change the course of the match.
