Mason Greenwood - Scores penalty in win Greenwood scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 3-0 win over Brest.

Impact Greenwood made it 2-0 in the 33rd minute by sending Radoslaw Majecki the wrong way from the spot after Igor Paixao was fouled by Kenny Lala in the box. He stayed active across the frontline and linked well with Angel and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, contributing to five shots and one chance created. The goal was his eighth in 11 Ligue 1 appearances this season, putting him one minute away from matching Legend Didier Drogba's record at OM of one goal contribution every 100 minutes.

Geronimo Rulli - Keeps clean sheet in victory Rulli had two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Brest.

Impact Rulli kept a shutout with Brest limited to few clear looks and long-range efforts. He claimed high balls cleanly and kept Marseille's buildup smooth while they led. He made only two saves against the Pirates and produced a first-half clearance to deny a one-on-one situation against Ludovic Ajorque. This marked his fourth clean sheet in 10 Ligue 1 appearances this season, and he will look to find a fifth one against Nice after the international break.

Impact Mmadi came off late in Wednesday's clash against Atalanta for his first professional appearance with Marseille, rewarding his brilliant progression recently and his wonderful campaign at the U20 World Cup with France. Mmadi could have been the hero of the game as he won a late one-on-one against an opponent and delivered a solid cross into the box that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could have converted to tie the game.
