In the second round of Ligue 1, Marseille hosted Reims at the Vélodrome Stadium. Despite a smooth start and scoring the first goal from the 25th minute, the team led by coach Roberto De Zerbi could not maintain the advantage and let the opponent score twice in the first half of the second half (minutes 51 and 55).

In a difficult situation, Mason Greenwood played the hero for Marseille. In the 71st minute, the English striker made an accurate close-range header to seal the 2-2 draw.

In addition to the goal, during the time on the field, Greenwood made 42 touches, made 26 passes with an 85% success rate, 1 pass led to a dangerous opportunity, and 1 clear scoring opportunity. Sofascored gave the English striker 7.6 points, the second highest score for Marseille (only behind Amine Harit, 7.9 points).

Since leaving MU to join Marseille on a five-year contract for a transfer fee of 31.6 million euros, Greenwood has been in explosive form. The encounter with Reims was also the second consecutive match in which the 22-year-old striker scored in Ligue 1. On the opening day, he contributed 2 goals to help Marseille defeat Brest 5-1, and was also voted into the typical squad of the opening round. According to statistics, Greenwood became the first player since 2013 to score at least 3 goals for Marseille after 2 Ligue 1 debuts. Dimitri Payet was the previous one to do this and became a favorite player at Marseille.
