Ethan Nwaneri Shootout Miss Sees Marseille Exit Coupe de France Marseille's Ethan Nwaneri missed the decisive penalty as his team was eliminated from the Coupe de France by Toulouse, 4-3 on penalties, following a 2-2 draw at Stade Velodrome. The highly anticipated shootout saw both teams convert their first three spot-kicks, but it was Nwaneri's miss that ultimately proved costly for Marseille. The match itself was a thrilling encounter, with both sides creating chances throughout the 90 minutes. Marseille took the lead in the 15th minute through a fine strike from Dimitri Payet, but Toulouse responded just before halftime when Sofiane Touze equalized. The second half saw both teams push for victory, and it was Toulouse who eventually grabbed the winner, as midfielder Mathieu Dossevi found space to curl the ball past Marseille goalkeeper Pau Lopez in the 73rd minute. As the match headed into extra time, Marseille launched a late onslaught on the Toulouse goal, but ultimately failed to find a winner. The shootout then ensued, with both teams converting their first three penalties. However, when it was Nwaneri's turn to step up and seal the win for Marseille, he saw his effort saved by Toulouse goalkeeper Baptiste Reynet. The miss proved decisive, as Toulouse converted their fourth penalty to send Marseille crashing out of the competition. The result marks a disappointing exit for Marseille in the Coupe de France, having reached the quarterfinals last season.#Marseille #Toulouse #Baptiste_Reynet #Pau_Lopez #Dimitri_Payet #Ethan_Nwaneri #Sofiane_Touze #Mathieu_Dossevi #Stade_Velodrome #Coupe_de_France
