Algerian international Amine Gouiri set for Goal of the Month honours after Olympique de Marseille masterclass

Amine Gouiri’s stunning hat-trick for Olympique de Marseille in their 4-1 victory over Stade Brestois 29 has placed him firmly in the spotlight, with his spectacular scissor-kick goal now a leading contender for Ligue 1’s April Goal of the Month.

The Algerian international delivered a commanding performance at the Orange Vélodrome, capping off his trio of goals with a moment of sheer brilliance.

Gouiri’s third strike—an acrobatic volley executed with perfect timing and precision following a composed chest control—brought the stadium to its feet and sealed an emphatic win for OM.

“It was instinct,” Gouiri reportedly said after the match, though the goal looked anything but accidental.

The fluid motion, the technique, and the timing were reminiscent of classic moments in Marseille’s attacking history.

While Gouiri himself didn’t immediately see the ball hit the net, the eruption of the home crowd told him all he needed to know.

The Vélodrome’s roar confirmed what many fans and analysts believe: this was a goal of rare quality.

Already being tipped as a clear frontrunner for April’s Goal of the Month, some are going further, suggesting Gouiri’s scissor-kick could even deserve the Ligue 1 Goal of the Season accolade.

“No exaggeration,” wrote one commentator, “it’s a goal you just don’t see every week.”

While the official result of the monthly competition is expected by Saturday, the buzz surrounding the 24-year-old’s masterpiece suggests it would take something extraordinary to unseat him.

The goal has been widely shared across social media and has drawn praise from pundits, fans, and fellow players alike.

For Gouiri, the timing of his resurgence couldn’t be better.

The forward, who joined Marseille from Stade Rennais, is hitting top form as the club enters the final and most decisive stretch of the season.

OM currently sit second in the Ligue 1 table with 58 points, just two ahead of Lille OSC, their next opponent.

Sunday’s clash with Lille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy will be crucial in determining who secures the league’s second automatic qualification spot for the UEFA Champions League.

With Lille boasting talents like Aïssa Mandi and Nabil Bentaleb, the encounter promises high stakes and fierce competition.

For Marseille and their fans, however, the hope is that Gouiri’s recent brilliance is just the beginning—and that more moments of magic await.
