Heads up, Sporting! Next Champions League rivals thrash Marseille – Ajax | OneFootball

Marseille defeated Ajax with a 4-0 thrashing this Tuesday, September 30th, in a match for the second round of the regular phase of the Champions League. The French club is Sporting's opponent in the third round of the competition, which will first still have to face Napoli.

The match at the Stade Velodrome started with a double dose of goals from the same man. The Brazilian Igor Paixão scored his first of the night in the sixth minute with a low shot, after being found by Aubameyang. His brace came in the 12th minute, with a powerful shot from outside the box (2-0).

Before halftime, there was still time for Marseille to make it 3-0. This time it was Mason Greenwood, after being assisted by Aubameyang. The Gabonese’s pass left the Briton one-on-one with the keeper, giving the French side a comfortable lead heading into the break (26’).

After providing two assists, Aubameyang decided it was his turn to score. After the teams returned from the break, the captain of the Gabon national team took advantage of a stolen ball to seal the final score with a 4-0 thrashing in the 52nd minute of the match.

It’s worth remembering that Marseille’s next commitment in the Champions League will be a clash against Sporting. Roberto de Zerbi’s men are set to face the Lions on September 22nd, at 8pm, at the Estádio de Alvalade, for the third round of UEFA’s millionaires’ competition.
