Marseille secured a 2-1 victory against Saint-Etienne on Tuesday during the 7th day of Ligue 1 in France. Despite an early lead with goals from Mendy and Giannelli Imbula, Marseille faced a setback when a penalty was awarded to Saint-Etienne following a handball by Togolese international Jacques Alaixys Romao. Faouzi Ghoulam converted the penalty for Saint-Etienne.
Romao expressed his belief on Twitter that the referee’s decision was unjustified, but he also expressed gratitude for the victory and thanked the supporters. Despite the contentious penalty decision, Marseille celebrated the win. Romao humorously mentioned that he didn’t have time to cut his arm to avoid the handball.
