Match footage: Timothy Weah scoring debut for OM against Real Madrid
In a thrilling turn of events at the Santiago-Bernabeu, Olympique Marseille (OM) scored the first goal against Real Madrid in their ongoing Champions League match, thanks to a powerful right-footed shot from Timothy Weah.
The goal, which was set up by OM's number 10, Mason Greenwood, came in the 22nd minute of the match. Greenwood played a crucial part in the build-up, taking the ball from Arda Güler before finding Weah on the right side of Real Madrid's box.
Weah, seizing the opportunity, unleashed a powerful shot that beat Thibaut Courtois, the Real Madrid goalkeeper, leaving the home team scrambling to respond.
This goal marks the first for OM in the Champions League since Chancel Mbemba's strike on November 1, 2022, and the second overall in the group stage. Despite the early advantage, the score currently stands at 1-0 in favour of OM.
Roberto De Zerbi, the coach of Olympique Marseille at the time of the match, will be hoping this goal provides the momentum needed to secure a historic win against the Spanish giants. The match is set to continue, with both teams eager to make their mark in the Champions League group stage.
