Amine Gouiri scored in the 77th minute as Marseille beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 at the BayArena on Thursday, their first win of the Europa League season. According to L'Équipe, the result keeps Bruno Genesio's side in contention for a play-off place.
Kicker said Leverkusen were surprisingly passive and offered little going forward, handing the German side their first defeat in this competition this season. French outlets praised Marseille's collective performance, while RMC Sport noted nervous moments late on before the lead held.
Amine Gouiri has six goals and three assists in nine appearances this season. FootVal's valuation of him is €31m, against a market value of €30m on Transfermarkt, and his contract runs until June 2029.
Leverkusen travel to 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga on Sunday 8 November, and Marseille play Lens in Ligue 1 the same day.
