OM’s stunning stats in their win over Ajax 🔥 | OneFootball

An unforgettable evening at the Vélodrome.

This Tuesday evening, OM thrilled its supporters with an exceptional victory against Ajax Amsterdam in the Champions League (4-0), their fifth largest in the competition.

A success that was shaped in twelve minutes thanks to Igor Paixao's quick double. The Brazilian striker became the fastest player to score a double for OM in the Champions League. He thus dethroned André-Pierre Gignac and his double in 21 minutes against Zilina in 2011.

Moreover, Marseille hadn't led 3-0 so quickly at home in the Champions League since 1992 against Bruges according to StatsduFoot. Back then, the Olympians also scored three times after 26 minutes of play.

According to the well-informed StatsduFoot on X, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang became the oldest scorer in OM's history in the Champions League. Among African players, only Didier Drogba has scored at an older age in the Champions League.

Memorable victory.
