Marseille and Atalanta clashed in the inaugural UEFA Europa League semi-final match.
Both teams engaged in a balanced and mutually attacking first half, a reflection evident on the scoreboard of the Velodrome Stadium.
The adversaries traded goals within a span of 10 minutes. Initially, Gianluca Scamacca broke the deadlock following a precise pass from Teun Koopmeiners. The Olympians swiftly responded through a well-placed strike from Chancel Mbemba.
In the second half, the teams adopted a more cautious approach, resulting in fewer goal-scoring opportunities. As expected, the spectators witnessed a scarcity of goals in the latter period of the game.
The return leg will be held in Bergamo on the ensuing Thursday, May 9.
