As part of the return match of the 1/16 finals of the Europa League, Marseille beat Shakhtar at home
Already at the start of the match, Marino Pusic's team was able to open the scoring. Jonathan Kloss fouled Eguinaldo in his own penalty area and the match referee decided to award a penalty.
Georgy Sudakov approached the 11-meter mark and calmly carried out the “sentence”.
Even before the break, the Provencals responded with a goal of their own. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang beat Dmitry Riznyk with a shot into the near corner of the goal and became the top scorer in the history of the Europa League, scoring his 31st goal in this tournament.
Then the hosts were helped by their opponent’s mistakes. First, Nikolai Matvienko waved the ball wide after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's pass, allowing Ismaila Sarr to shoot Dmitry Riznyk, and then Taras Stepanenko made a pass to Geoffrey Kondogbia, who had only to cross the ball into the empty net.
