Olympique Marseille kicked off the new Ligue 1 season in an impressive manner on Friday evening with a 4-0 victory over RC Strasbourg. The match took place at the Stade Vélodrome, where Marseille clearly dominated the visitors with Jeffrey de Lange as the new first goalkeeper and Igor Paixão in the starting line-up. Strasbourg also had an extra difficult time, as they had to play with one man less for more than thirty minutes after a red card.
With the departure of former Ajax player Gerónimo Rulli to Manchester City, Jeffrey de Lange is the new number one at Marseille. After last season, in which he only made five appearances in Ligue 1, he started the new season with a starting place. Igor Paixão, former Feyenoord player, also received the coach's confidence and was in the starting line-up. Jeyland Mitchell, who came to Strasbourg from Feyenoord this season, was on the bench for the entire match. Quinten Timber was suspended for the home team and missed the season opening.
The first half of the match was not exactly spectacular. Both teams seemed to be trying to keep their wits about them and chances were few and far between. However, after the break the game pattern changed quickly. Algerian striker Amine Gouiri opened the scoring for Marseille with a goal after an assist from Angel Gomes. Twenty minutes later it was Gouiri again who scored his second of the evening, this time from the penalty spot.
The situation for Strasbourg deteriorated when Samir El Mourabet received a red card, forcing the visitors to play with ten men in the closing stages of the match. This gave Marseille the space to expand further. Substitute Keyliane Abdallah scored the third goal of the evening just before the end of regular time. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, who are earlier this summerlost the captain's armband, completed the score and set the final score at 4-0.
With this convincing victory, Marseille has made a strong start in the new Ligue 1 season. Expectations are high for this team, which hopes to compete for the top positions in the competition under the leadership of new goalkeeper De Lange and the talented Paixão.
What's happening now
With this win, Marseille will focus on maintaining their momentum in the upcoming Ligue 1 matches. The focus will be on further integrating new players such as De Lange and Paixão, while also overcoming the suspension of Quinten Timber. Strasbourg, on the other hand, will have to rethink their strategy after this heavy defeat, especially in view of their next match.
