Sturm Graz vs Marseille
Sturm Graz clinch narrow win over Marseille
O. Diakité's early strike secures a slender victory in the Europa League clash.
Sturm Graz edged out Marseille 1-0 thanks to an early goal from O. Diakité in the 13th minute. The home side held firm to maintain their lead, delivering a tight defensive display to keep Marseille at bay. Fipster's low-confidence prediction for a home win was on the money, though the exact scoreline proved a bit more modest than expected.
