Amine Gouiri continues his upward trajectory in Marseille colors. Against Toulouse, the OM forward once again shaped the outcome of the match, reinforcing the Phocaean club’s strong momentum.
Olympique de Marseille extended their positive run by dominating Toulouse (2-0), Sunday evening, at the Stade Vélodrome during Ligue 1’s ninth matchday. Starting up front, Amine Gouiri distinguished himself by contributing directly to both Marseille goals, recording an assist along with a strike of his own.
The Algerian attacker initially set the tempo for his side inside the opening minute. Following an effective team press from OM, Gouiri expertly found his Moroccan teammate Amine Harit, who promptly unlocked the scoreline. An ideal start for Bruno Genesio’s squad, who swiftly took control of proceedings. In the 25th minute, the former Rennes man swapped roles from creator to finisher. Well supplied by Brazilian winger Igor Paixão, he finished the move with a angled shot inside the penalty box, allowing Marseille to double their advantage. With this goal, Gouiri elevates his tally to six conversions across all competitions this term, per official statistics, establishing himself among the most prominent attackers in the league. Interviewed post-match, the Algerian international highlighted team cohesion and offensive freedom granted to players. He further emphasized high pressing to force opponent errors. This result marks a fourth consecutive league victory for OM. Sitting on 15 points, the Phocaean side climbs to sixth place in the table, steadily building consistency. Meanwhile, Toulouse remains halted at eleventh spot with 10 points. Substituted in the 87th minute, Gouiri can now look toward upcoming European commitments aiming to sustain this form.
