The spirited Brighton remained standing in Marseille – AEK is the only first in the group!

An unlikely match in Marseille with… winning it AEK!

THE Marseille welcomed her to the packed “Velodrome”. Brightonwith both teams staying at the… enjoyable 2-2 for the second matchday of the second group of the Europa League, where “Enos” also participates. The hosts took a 2-0 lead in the 20th minute, but the English responded in the second half and got a precious point.

Somehow, the Marseilles, after the away game 3-3 with Ajax, they stayed in the tie for the second consecutive match, while the “seagulls”celebrated their first point in the group.

With the… power of the seat to motivate her, the Marseille came into the match very strongly, threatening only in the 8th minute with Harith’s excellent free-kick. The home team’s pressure bore fruit in the 19th minute, when after a period of time in the opposition frames, Klaus made the parallel turn, with Baby from the penalty spot to open the score for 1-0!

Seconds later and before the well-well work celebrations on the stands of the “Velotrom”, the Marseilles found a second goal with Veretou! In particular, Harit took advantage of the tragic mistake of Dunk, carried the ball in the open field and, passing at the right moment to the French midfielder, made the 2-0! Gennaro Gattuso’s side continued to pose threats to a Brighton defense that was clearly out of rhythm in the first 45 minutes.

In the replay, and in the first essentially good moment of the English in the game, o Gross reduced for the “Seagulls” in the 55th minute with a close-range shot from Mitoma’s excellent turn. As time ticked on, Brighton turned up the heat, looking for an equaliser. A goal he finally found in the 88th minute from the white bullet with executioner Joao Pedro, after tagging Klaus.
