Marseille loses 1-0 at Sturm Graz for third Europa League defeat
Marseille fell 1-0 at Sturm Graz on Thursday, a third consecutive Europa League defeat, according to multiple French and Brazilian media.
Olympique de Marseille suffered a third consecutive defeat in the Europa League, losing 1-0 to Sturm Graz in Austria on Thursday. According to Placar, Oumar Diakité scored early for the home side, who moved to four points in the group, while the French club remains on zero.
Le Parisien and franceinfo report that this third defeat marks another step in Marseille's decline in the competition. Maxifoot attributes the loss to a first-half error by Kamissoko, and Foot National notes the future of the club in the tournament looks increasingly compromised. L'Équipe highlights the attacking struggles: only one shot on target in 90 minutes, with the strikers suffering against the Graz defense. After the match, coach Genesio called the first half "not worthy of Europe," according to Le Figaro. Meanwhile, RMC Sport quotes its After show as saying the new defeat is "a positive result."
