Late Greenwood Goal Lifts Marseille U19 Over Monaco U19 in Ligue 1 Opener
MARSEILLE, France (Interstat) — Mason Greenwood’s 82nd-minute strike delivered a 1-0 victory for Marseille U19 over Monaco U19 in a Ligue 1 youth match Sunday at Orange Vélodrome.
The closely contested game defied a pre-match projection from Interstat, which gave Marseille an 84.6% probability to win but had simulated a 2-2 draw. The lone breakthrough came when Greenwood finished a chance to secure the home win. The match featured three yellow cards, issued to Monaco’s Geoffrey Kondogbia and Vanderson, and later to Greenwood for his goal celebration.
With the result, Marseille U19 begins its domestic campaign with a win, while Monaco U19 starts with a loss.
