Unforgettable goalscoring debut for Luis Xavier Suarez. The Colombian striker scored a doublet in half an hour that helped in the 4-1 victory of the Olympic Marseille in front of Reimsduel valid for the first day of the Ligue 1.
The French runner-up the previous season quickly got the upper hand. Around 12 minutes, Jonathan Clauss sent a cross from the right sector and defender Wout Faes, trying to clear, ended up pushing the ball into his own goal. He scored himself for the pirouette he did.
Before the end of the first half, Nuno Tavares, ex-PSG, declared the partial 2-0 in favor of the hosts with a nice goal.
For the complement, and without major opposition from the rival, coach Tudor decided to send Suárez and Veretout to the field, the two stellar signings of Marseille for this season.
And just 13 minutes following his arrival, the Santa Marta-born scorer took advantage of the loss of concentration with a corner kick and grabbed a rebound that he capitalized on with a good volley shot.
It did not stop there. Although the visitors scored the discount at 84′ through Balogun, in added time (90+4′), the ex-Granada accompanied an excellent counter commanded by Bakambu and only had to push the ball, following receiving a good clearance from Your partner. Thus, Luis Javier Suárez had a dream debut with a double included that excited the Marseille fans.
