Amine Gouiri’s Hat-Trick Leads Marseille to 4-1 Victory Over Brest
A sensational performance from Amine Gouiri, who scored three of his team’s four goals — including a perfectly executed overhead kick — powered Marseille to a 4-1 victory over Brest, lifting them to second place in the Ligue 1 standings.
With just three matches left in the season, Roberto De Zerbi’s side has hit form at the most crucial moment. Their triumph at the Stade Vélodrome marked their second consecutive win, helping them bounce back after a rough spell that included five defeats in eight games.
- Early Strike: Gouiri opened the scoring with a sharp finish from a tight angle after a long pass by Luis Henrique.
- Temporary Equalizer: Brest, sitting ninth and out of European spots, briefly leveled through Abdallah Sima in the 25th minute.
- Greenwood Restores the Lead: Assisted by Adrien Rabiot, Mason Greenwood put Marseille back ahead before halftime.
- Goal of the Day: Just before the break, Greenwood crossed from the right, Gouiri controlled with his chest and executed a flawless overhead kick that left goalkeeper Eric Roy helpless — a goal-of-the-season contender.
Sealing the Hat-Trick: After the hour mark, Gouiri completed his hat-trick, again assisted by Rabiot, to wrap up a memorable night.
Thanks to this result, Marseille climbs to second place:
- 2 points ahead of Lille
- 3 points ahead of Monaco
- 4 points clear of Lyon, Nice, and Strasbourg
