Swords are high at the Velòdrome between Marseille and Atalanta in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals. Bergamasco’s side took the lead on the scoreboard thanks to a sharp shot from Scamacca in the 10th minute, but Gasset’s side did not take long to react.
With the score at 0-1, the locals turned to attack and, based on pushing and good arrivals from the wing, they began to surround Juan Musso’s goal. After a corner kick and quickly cut short, the ball reached Mbemba’s feet. The central defender, on the balcony of the area, did not hesitate and pulled out of his hat a fantastic shot that was impossible for the visiting goalkeeper. The ball hit the post before going in and it was 1-1.
Atalanta, who entered the match on a good footing thanks to Scamacca’s goal, dropped their performance after 0-1 and Marseille took advantage of that to gain prominence and make it 1-1 with a strategic play perfectly executed by Chancel Mbemba.
