Greenwood's Penalty Miss Seals Marseille's UCL Blow
21 Feb
Summary
- Marseille lost 2-0 to Brest, hurting Champions League hopes.
- Habib Beye's first game as manager ended in defeat.
- Greenwood missed a late penalty, failing to spark a comeback.
Marseille's Champions League qualification hopes took a serious hit on Saturday when they were defeated 2-0 by Brest. This match marked the debut of new manager Habib Beye, who took the helm following Roberto De Zerbi's departure. The team's struggles continued under Beye, as they have now failed to secure a victory in their last four outings, a dismal record not seen in two years.
Ludovic Ajorque was the architect of Marseille's downfall, scoring a brace against Beye's side. Mason Greenwood was presented with a golden opportunity to narrow the deficit in the 82nd minute when he won a penalty. However, his weak shot was expertly saved by Brest's goalkeeper, Gregoire Coudet, ending any hopes of a comeback and leaving Marseille six points adrift of fourth place.
