Bayer Leverkusen 0–1 Marseille: Gouiri's solo goal gives Marseille their first Europa League win and ends Leverkusen's perfect start

Olympique Marseille beat Bayer Leverkusen 1–0 at the BayArena on Thursday 5 November 2026 in the Europa League league phase. After a goalless first half, Algerian forward Amine Gouiri scored the only goal in the 77th minute — collecting the ball in his own half, shaking off Edmond Tapsoba and curling a right-footed shot into the far corner past Mark Flekken, who had denied him one-on-one in the 7th minute. It was Marseille's first win and first points of the campaign after three defeats, and Leverkusen's first defeat — and the first goal the competition's last unbeaten defence had conceded.
