Marseille secured a victory in a friendly match against Racing Club de Lens, winning 1-0 under the management of Elie Baup. The only goal of the match was scored by Pape Sougou. The Senegalese player found the net following a series of passes between Kadir and Valbuena, eventually receiving a cross from the penalty spot and finishing with the flat of his foot.
Despite the loss for Lens, the match provided an opportunity for coach Antoine Kombouaré to observe the behavior of his new players. Pape Sougou’s performance demonstrated his effectiveness in front of goal. Marseille’s next match will be against Wolfsburg on Sunday.
