Despite Marseille's repeated attempts, especially in the second half, the French team failed to convert opportunities into goals, in light of Club Brugge's solid defense and the brilliance of goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, who maintained a clean sheet despite 18 shots, including 9 on target.

Both team coaches made several changes in the second half, but the pace did not change, as Brugge continued to rely on defensive discipline and quick counterattacks, while Marseille was unable to penetrate the back lines.

The third goal came to settle the confrontation definitively, with Aleksandar Stankovic scoring in the 79th minute, crowning his remarkable performance, following a pass from Carlos Forbes, amidst great joy from the Belgian team's fans.
