Sturm Graz defeats Olympique Marseille in Europa League

Europa League Sturm Graz Olympique Marseille Oumar Diakite Bruno Genesio

Sturm Graz secured their first victory in the Europa League with a 1-0 win against Olympique Marseille in Austria. Oumar Diakite scored the decisive goal in the 13th minute following a ball from Luca Weinhandl.

Marseille coach Bruno Genesio rotated his starting lineup significantly, making eight changes. The defeat marks Marseille's third consecutive loss in the competition, leaving their qualification prospects in a precarious position. Following the match, Genesio expressed disappointment with his team's performance, particularly during an insipid first half where the squad struggled with engagement and duels.

In Graz, police reported a largely calm atmosphere despite the match being classified as a ‘high-risk’ event by UEFA. While Marseille fans utilized pyrotechnics during their march to the stadium, no major incidents or arrests were reported by local authorities.
