How to watch the match – streaming options and tips
If you missed the live action at the Stade de la Meinau, you still have a few ways to catch the footage. Ligue 1 live stream coverage was available on three main platforms. CNF Sports delivered a smooth HD feed with English commentary and worked on everything from iPhones to smart TVs. The service let you sign up for a free account, though a premium tier removed ads and boosted the bitrate.
Time On Demand (TOD) also streamed the fixture, offering a live window plus an on‑demand replay that stayed online for 48 hours. This is handy if you prefer to watch at a later time without hunting for a recording. Finally, fubo.tv gave newcomers a 7‑day free trial, letting you log in with a fresh username and watch the game without any charge.
All three services required a stable broadband connection; users reported that CNF Sports had the least buffering during peak European viewership hours. Whichever platform you pick, make sure to enable subtitles if you’re not comfortable with the French commentary.
Match recap – key moments, tactics and what the result means
Both Strasbourg and Marseille arrived in Strasbourg with 12 points each, Strasbourg sitting fourth and Marseille sixth in the Ligue 1 standings. The 4‑2‑3‑1 formation employed by each side set the stage for a battle in midfield, with both teams looking to control the tempo.
Strasbourg drew first blood in the 49th minute when Abdoul Ouattara slipped a low drive past Marseille’s keeper, giving the hosts a 1‑0 lead. The goal sparked a flurry of attacks, but Marseille kept their shape and waited for a chance.
Late in the second half, Pierre‑Emerick Aubameyang found space on the right flank and curled a right‑footed finish into the top corner in the 78th minute, levelling the score. The equaliser reignited Marseille’s momentum, and they piled on pressure in the final minutes.
In stoppage time, Amir Murillo rose above the defence to head home the winner in the 91st minute, sealing a 2‑1 comeback. The goal sent Marseille fans into a frenzy and confirmed a three‑point haul for the visitors.
Statistically, Marseille controlled the game with 61.7% possession while Strasbourg managed just 38.3%. The French side produced 13 shots, six of which were on target, compared with Strasbourg’s seven attempts and a single on‑target strike. Discipline was relatively even, though Marseille collected four yellow cards to Strasbourg’s two.
From a tactical viewpoint, Strasbourg’s midfield duo struggled to disrupt Marseille’s quick transitions, while the visitors’ full‑backs provided width that stretched the Alsace side’s back line. Mason Greenwood, operating behind Aubameyang, kept the pressure high, forcing Strasbourg into defensive errors.
The win nudges Marseille up the league table, tightening the race for European spots. Strasbourg, despite the loss, remains within touching distance of the top five and will look to bounce back in their next fixture.
