Olympique de Marseille faced a formidable opponent in Borussia Dortmund in Germany, and Jurgen Klopp’s team, determined to bounce back after their defeat in Naples on the first day, proved to be a tough challenge for OM. Despite a promising start for Marseille, including a forgotten penalty on Khlalifa who was preferred over Jordan Ayew, it was Dortmund that broke through the defense with Lewandowski scoring, leading 1-0 at halftime.
Soon after the break, the home team extended their lead as Marco Reus capitalized on a hand fault from Mandanda following a long ball. Marseille found themselves struggling and making more mistakes as the match progressed.
Reus was brought down in the penalty area after a foul by Nkoulou, and Lewandowski confidently converted the penalty. With two defeats in two matches, Marseille faces a challenging task ahead, needing a remarkable performance against Napoli.
Notably, Aubameyang is yet to find the net in the Champions League, adding an additional challenge for Borussia Dortmund’s attack.
