Marseille Wins Late to Reach Ligue 1 Summit After Strasbourg Victory

Strasbourg initially took the lead through Abdoul Ouattara shortly after halftime, a goal that was confirmed after VAR intervention. However, Marseille fought back with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang equalizing in the 78th minute following a rebound off Strasbourg's goalkeeper Mike Penders, who was on loan from Chelsea. The winning goal came in stoppage time when Michael Amir Murillo capitalized on another rebound after a header hit the post, sealing a historic comeback for Marseille. This win marked Marseille's first away points of the season and ended a losing streak against Strasbourg that had lasted since 2022. The result also ended Strasbourg's perfect home record this season and reinforced Marseille's status as serious title contenders.
