Greenwood-inspired Marseille not Nice after crushing Super Eagles striker and his OGC teammates

Marseille, led by Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, delivered a stunning 5-1 victory over OGC Nice in Ligue 1, handing Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi and his teammates a tough night at the Allianz Riviera.

Pulse Sports Nigeria reports that in the Friday night encounter, Greenwood was instrumental in the win, scoring two goals in a man of the match performance, while Aubameyang dominated with a hat-trick of contributions, which included two assists.

Their combined brilliance overwhelmed the Nice defence, which struggled to contain the attacking duo throughout the match in a blistering performance from Roberto De Zerbi’s men.

Despite Mohamed Ali-Cho’s late goal offering a consolation for the hosts, the damage had long been done, with two goals in the first and three in the second half.

Moffi, the Nigerian forward, was on the pitch for 68 minutes but was unable to find the net despite having four shots on target, showing the challenge Marseille’s defence presented throughout the clash.

This win solidifies Marseille’s position as serious Ligue 1 contenders, pushing them to the top of the table with 28 points.

However, their lead is precarious as defending champions Paris Saint-Germain sit just one point behind with a game in hand, ready to challenge at Parc des Princes, where they host Le Havre on Saturday afternoon.

Marseille’s dominant display sends a clear signal to the rest of the league that they are in formidable form, while the Super Eagles star and his OGC Nice teammates face a difficult task ahead to bounce back from this heavy defeat.
