📰 Bruno Genesio's Marseille, who had been on the brink, beat Troyes 2-0 in a clash between two struggling sides to end their losing run. 📌 Key points ✅ Marseille won 2-0 away at Troyes. ⚽ Amine Harit opened the scoring on 50 minutes, set up by Emerson. 🎯 Himad Abdelli sealed it with a 98th-minute penalty. 🛑 It ended runs of five defeats in all competitions and four in the league. 😮‍💨 Under-pressure coach Bruno Genesio gets some breathing space. 📝 What happened 📉 After a 4-0 opening win over Strasbourg, Marseille lost in turn to Monaco, Paris FC, Rennes, Besiktas and PSG. They had dropped to 17th, in the relegation zone, and speculation was growing about Genesio's future. 🗣️ Before the game Genesio said: 'At Marseille, you can't be satisfied with an honourable defeat,' adding: 'I'm not worn out, I'm not whingeing.' He explained his anger after the 2-1 loss to PSG by saying some people seemed satisfied to have 'only' lost 2-1. ⚽ After a goalless first half, Harit put Marseille ahead on 50 minutes from Emerson's pass. Marseille held on and Abdelli made sure from the penalty spot in the 98th minute. 🚫 Marseille were without the suspended Timothy Weah and the injured Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Derek Cornelius. 📊 By the numbers • Before this win: five straight defeats in all competitions, four in the league • League record before kick-off: one win and four defeats in five, 17th • Opener: Harit, 50 minutes • Second: Abdelli penalty, 90+8 🔭 Why it matters According to Sports Mole, defeat would have meant Marseille's first run of five straight league losses this century. The club has played down the speculation, insisting Genesio is under contract until 2028, but the pressure will return quickly if results do not follow. The question now is whether this is the start of a recovery.
