Olympiacos beat Marseille to claim a fourth straight win

Imanol Alguacil’s Olympiacos extended their winning run with a 1-0 victory away to Olympique de Marseille on matchday two of the Europa League. Santiago Hezze’s early goal earned the Greek side three valuable points and secured a fourth consecutive win across all competitions.

After taking the lead, Olympiacos gave their opponents more of the ball and adopted a more cautious approach. Marseille, urged on by their home crowd, could not make that possession count. The French side pressed for an equaliser, particularly after the break, but ran into the resistance of Alguacil’s defence. Since his arrival, the coach has placed emphasis on that part of the game, with his team’s matches producing few goals.

Olympiacos stood firm during the periods of greatest pressure and made the most of their advantage to frustrate a rival unable to find the net. The away win extends the Greek club’s run, while Hezze’s strike proved decisive in this Europa League encounter.
