Mason Greenwood converted a penalty to secure a 1-1 draw for Olympique de Marseille against Strasbourg on Sunday at the Stade Vélodrome. The goal not only salvaged a point for Roberto De Zerbi's side but also established Greenwood as the top scorer in Ligue 1 this season with 11 goals.

A Setback in the Title Race

The draw leaves Marseille nine points behind league leaders Paris Saint-Germain after 18 matches. The chase for the top spot continues to slip further away for PSG's challengers, compounded by Monaco's loss on Friday and this surprising home stumble for Marseille.

Strasbourg, riding the momentum of three consecutive wins, took the lead in the 23rd minute. Andrey Santos, pivotal in the visitors' midfield, delivered a perfectly weighted through ball to Emanuel Emegha, who broke past Marseille's high defensive line and calmly slotted home from the edge of the box.

Greenwood's Decisive Moment

Marseille controlled possession after conceding but struggled to find the back of the net until the 68th minute. Andrey Santos was penalized for a foul on Robino Vaz inside the area, handing Marseille a lifeline. Greenwood stepped up and confidently dispatched the spot-kick to level the match.

Despite their late efforts to secure all three points, Marseille had to settle for the draw. They remain second in the table, holding a five-point cushion over Lille and a six-point lead over Monaco.
