Marseille Beat Montpellier by a Football Match Score of 2-3
In this debut Ligue 1 match for both Marseille and Montpellier, Gaëtan Laborde scored a goal for Montpellier. Also, Luan Perez netted an own-goal for the hosts.
But after this dismal first half for the guests, Cengiz Ünder scored for Marseille and Dimitri Payet netted a brace.
The match would have continued for a longer duration, had the referee not stopped the game.
But the referee called end time when the supporters started to throw foreign objects onto the pitch from the stands.
In fact, rather infuriatingly, a bottle of water flying out from the stands smashed roughly into substitute Valentin Rongier’s lip.
