Union Saint-Gilloise 2-3 Marseille: Greenwood brace completes nervy comeback
Briefly

"The Belgian side, whose own play-off hopes took a hit, claimed a surprise lead before Roberto De Zerbi's team turned things around. Anan Khalaili opened the scoring just five minutes in with a lovely low drive after cutting inside from the right to pick out the bottom-right corner. However, Marseille struck back just 10 minutes later when Igor Paixao latched onto the rebound of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's saved shot and fired into the roof of the net."
"Greenwood got the first of his double four minutes before the break, drilling his low effort past Kjell Scherpen, who got a hand to the ball but could not stop it from hitting the net. In the 58th minute, Greenwood seemingly put the game out of sight for Marseille. He raced in behind before turning his defender and bending a lovely strike into the bottom-left corner."
Mason Greenwood scored twice as Marseille recovered from an early deficit to beat Union Saint-Gilloise 3-2, improving their chances of reaching the Champions League knockout stage. Anan Khalaili opened for Union after five minutes, then Igor Paixao equalised from a rebound before Greenwood's first, and Greenwood added a second in the 58th minute after racing behind and bending a low strike into the bottom-left corner. Khalaili pulled one back, but late goals were ruled out for offside and Geronimo Rulli made a decisive save to secure the win. Monaco beat Galatasaray 1-0 via Folarin Balogun's 68th-minute penalty. Greenwood has 35 goals across the last two seasons.
