Nayef Aguerd Shines at OM, But LFP Attributes Goal to Marquinhos

Nayef Aguerd’s impactful start at Olympique de Marseille, culminating in a crucial win against Paris Saint-Germain (1-0), marks an impressive beginning with his new team.

Nayef Aguerd, having joined Olympique de Marseille on the final day of the transfer window, quickly established himself as a key player. His debut performance against Lorient, where he scored, set the stage for his subsequent appearances.

Aguerd’s electrifying debut against PSG

After missing a match in Madrid, Aguerd returned to face Paris Saint-Germain in a game postponed due to severe weather. This first OM-PSG encounter was unforgettable, as Marseille broke their home curse against PSG with a narrow 1-0 victory, featuring Aguerd’s decisive involvement.

Controversy over goal attribution

Aguerd’s impressive performance could have seen him scoring twice in two games. However, the Professional Football League ruled that his goal against PSG was an own goal by Marquinhos. The decision, based on video evidence, credits the Brazilian as the last player to touch the ball.
