Started to everyone’s surprise, Emran Soglo became OM’s second youngest scorer in Ligue 1 on Friday, scoring on the Metz pitch.
This goal came out of nowhere. Three days after the terrible elimination of OM in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League, against Panathinaikos, Marcelino launched Emran Soglo for the meeting in Metz, Friday evening, on behalf of the 2nd day of Ligue 1.
Soglo played his first game at professional level when he was 18 years and one month old. Central midfielder trained at Chelsea and used on the left side during the preseason, the native of Créteil, left-handed, played left midfielder 4-4-2.
It was Soglo who opened the scoring, with a shot that escaped Alexandre Oukdja (14th), to become OM’s second youngest scorer behind Samir Nasri, who scored at the age of 17. and 199 days, in February 2005. Frédéric Meyrieu was until then the dolphin of the Little Prince of Marseille, after scoring at 18 years and 42 days.
