00:00Could or bad, it's very simple, Marseille simply must take the three points here.
00:08So we get out of the way, it feels like a major European night, not a Ligue 1 game.
00:14But major European nights may well depend on the outcome here.
00:19Point time there in a bit too much of a hurry right from the get-go.
00:25I don't think Benjamin Lecoyne will race to restart the contest.
00:3024 next week for he and one or two of the others, the senior players on the bench.
00:35How many more in the Ligue 1?
00:37Big occasions playing Marseille, aren't they?
00:47Ray from the other's box.
00:50It's a good time for Leo.
00:52Rochier.
00:56You're going again.
00:59Space opens up, they went a long way round.
01:02And it's off the top of the crossbar, not into the net.
01:05What a chance for Greenwood to ante his challenge.
01:07A chance not taken.
01:08Greeny might have hit it a little bit sooner.
01:15Took it on a yard or two more.
01:18And the deflection was travelling Lecomte.
01:21I think he was resigned to the worst, but Greenwood did it again.
01:24Garcia's forceful.
01:27He's forced his way through and he's forced a penalty.
01:31Jelon Brisa a little doubt.
01:33Garcia, maybe not.
01:35And he made it happen.
01:37Once or twice he might have lost it.
01:40But he's forced his way through and he's forced a penalty.
01:43He's forced his way through and he's forced a penalty.
01:46Jelon Brisa a little doubt.
01:49He made it happen.
01:52Once or twice he might have lost it.
01:54But he enticed the tackle, which was very risky indeed.
02:01He's really on.
02:02Sparkling form early in the season.
02:04He's carrying Marseille on his shoulders at this precise moment.
02:13Greenwood slides it in the corner.
02:15Marseille going front.
02:17And all around the tension is released.
02:24He put it behind him and he put Marseille in front.
02:34The stadium's literally shaking at this precise moment.
02:40That might relax a few people.
02:42Marseille praised strongly by the Zerbi for his overall professionalism and how important he has been.
02:48Rangier's lost the ball in the middle of the field.
02:51And Zulis gets to the wrong side of him.
02:53he's left for all of the fields.
02:54He's going on.
02:55He's going for the ball.
02:56The ball has come out and.
02:59And you.
03:00Orj's problem all of his own making there.
03:02And try to.
03:05Set out the defensive lines again.
03:10lines again Garcia let's go
03:16bit too keen this time having won the penalty
03:27so comfortable in possession orchestrator of so much of their play
03:31a large part of this season into the box goes Greenwood on he goes side netting
03:36I wasn't gonna let anything pass him on that side
03:41that's the change of pace that they've been looking for
03:45maybe fingertips onto the post
03:49goal to those tallies for Marseille I think Desherby would be well pleased
03:54Luis Enrique
03:57straight at the keeper
03:59from Ramiol
04:04fairly tame header
04:06dismal record in the velodrome a dismal record everywhere during this season
04:12and a pretty demoralizing start to this fixture tonight but
04:18and it's time for a quick rest ladies and gentlemen at the moment one nil
04:24Mason Greenwood the goalscorer and Montpellier they are struggling against the
04:31team that right now is taking the second place in the tailback
04:36no further trouble for Montpellier goalkeeper
04:45cautious
04:48careful the stakes are so high tonight obviously for Marseille's players it's
04:53reflected in their overall display I think pay for Montpellier
04:58not a good way to start the second half
05:11Montpellier a bit a bit emboldened I would say by what they've achieved in this game
05:17mentioned at half time in on the run of the stats the numbers details from the first half has put in plenty of challenges
05:32Montpellier a bit emboldened I would say by what they've achieved in this game
05:36mentioned at half time in on the run of the stats the numbers details from the first half has put in plenty of challenges
05:42Quanta Mellon takes the corners a lovely looking out swinger
05:51Luis Enrique can they really strike top form here Greenwood drilled it in there
06:01Leconte full stretch over they hesitated and got a little bit tight
06:05Greenwood
06:07past the first away from the second drilled it in Leconte and Omarancho said to him you might come and get this if you want
06:15and he couldn't
06:17at times tonight Greenwood has thrown something to get everybody on their feet
06:23Quiriri
06:25that's over the top
06:27stooping
06:32but only lifting it upward
06:35to do some defending somebody might make a mistake
06:45Montpellier could steal a goal from somewhere not that they've scored since mid-February you understand
06:49here's Greenwood to the edge of the box
06:52well that struck it but again it's comfortable for Leconte
06:55Murillo
07:05now he breaks the lines
07:08and he keeps going this is more like Murillo early season
07:12on he goes
07:13off the cross by an in is it in it is in it must be in it must be a second for Marseille
07:21we don't quite know who got it but Quartan Mellon is the man who made it happen
07:25him and Murillo
07:27Guiriri followed in he may yet claim it in previous games he's found a way to make an impact great header by Mellon down
07:37the cop seemed to be keeping that out and Guiriri had to follow it in and did so
07:46but Murillo
07:48swashbuckling stuff from him at last tonight
07:50terrific cross
07:52Mellon down right on the line
07:55Leconte didn't know nobody knew for certain
07:58and Guiriri was in there to try to force it home
08:03try working all this out
08:07but Guiriri wasn't arguing about it
08:09he just forced
08:12in from Greenwood it's a good-looking cross again
08:15they're queering up here
08:18it's a brilliant brilliant block
08:21I think it's Amaradjic who's been laid out flat by that it is him
08:29suddenly Marseille
08:40here they come again with Murillo again
08:43brilliant 3-0
08:45Greenwood's on a hat-trick
08:47this job is done
08:50but there may be more to come from Mason Greenwood
08:53not just tonight
08:55but in the games that are going to count the most
08:57once more it was Murillo to start it off
09:10Luis Enrique distracted attention running hard on the outside
09:17and this time Greenwood finishes off the job with his right foot from the middle of the goal mouth
09:21pretty close to the penalty spot from which his first goal came
09:25and again
09:30well it's been a problem that Montpellier have not been able to solve
09:34Melon
09:36consistently strong all night
09:38now Garcia comes in
09:40yes and it's steering brilliantly by Rowe
09:424-0 to Marseille
09:44the biggest smile of the night for Jonathan Rowe
09:51Garcia really gave Rowe quite a lot to do
10:08but he just
10:12took his chance
10:15took a chance with it
10:17and it paid off
10:18a confident piece of work
10:21but you know if it continued for another game or two
10:30it would potentially become
10:32very valuable indeed
10:34it's too tight either way right now
10:35let's call it a step in the right direction
10:40Payne made a step in the right direction from Montpellier
10:42got a free kick
10:43and they're keeping a clean sheet here
10:44could yet be very very important
10:46oh it's wide
10:58that's about nothing from Schottar there
11:01you've got to be really good to score from that side
11:06perhaps would have become infamous
11:09from Marseille's point of view
11:11Goulabaly
11:13now a chance
11:16they've crept in and they've scored one
11:18late on here Montpellier
11:20and reward for all their endeavour coming forward
11:23coach
11:26to salute at the end of the night
11:28San Luis went and got himself up there
11:30Payne might have hit it
11:32where you can see it coming in his direction
11:37but he cannot get across there
11:40and Minkarelli
11:42is the player
11:43who ends up
11:44bravely putting his head on it
11:47the smoke
11:53from those flares is beginning to drift across the field
11:56blown on the wind actually
11:59the wind picks up at just this moment
12:01then I said they pick it up again
12:03Marseille through the gloom
12:05there might be another goal for them
12:06there is
12:07and it's stroked home brilliantly
12:09there might be a call for a few more flares
12:11Rabiot
12:12gets his goal
12:14and how elegant they
12:16he was left to run
12:21he checked his run to stay onside
12:23and he steered it around Lecomte expertly
12:27wasn't too happy when they conceded at the other end
12:38but he probably feels all right now
12:40so downcast
12:49and the match is over ladies and gentlemen
13:14with this score
13:16Marseille is taking the second place off the table
13:20and they are almost securing a Champions League place for the next season
13:25but they have to close this season as good as possible
13:29on the other side
13:30Montpellier is struggling in the last place
13:33thank you very much
13:34and see you next time
