Match in Five Sentences: Marseille beat Angers 5-2 at Stade Raymond Kopa. Amine Gouiri opened the scoring in the 19th minute after Michael Murillo's pass. Les Phocéens then accelerated, with Mason Greenwood (24.), Hamed Junior Traoré (34.) and Tim Weah (40.) all striking before the interval. The visitors dominated the ball and territory, finishing with 23 attempts, 11 on target, and 66.0% possession. Angers saw Igor Paixão add a late fifth for the visitors (88.) before Jim Allevinah replied in the second minute of second half stoppage time, and they drop from 10th to 11th ahead of a trip to Paris FC.
Player of the Match: Mason Greenwood knitted attacks together and punished Angers with a composed first half finish, adding sharp link play and three successful dribbles to cap a standout display.
Stat of the Match: Les Phocéens produced 11 shots on target from 23 attempts, a ruthless away performance that reflected sustained control.
Three Things We Learned: Les Phocéens had four different scorers before the interval, spreading the threat across their front line. Angers mustered seven attempts and 34.0% possession, underlining how little control they enjoyed. Les Olympiens stay third on 35 points and host Liverpool in the Champions League next.
