Igor Paixao has scored four goals this season in the UEFA Champions League. This is an impressive record, especially considering that Olympique de Marseille is not expected to be a top contender in the tournament. After scoring a brace against Ajax Amsterdam (4-0), one of his favorite opponents from his time at Feyenoord, and a goal against Sporting, Paixao found the net again on Tuesday against Union Saint-Gilloise.
After his team fell behind in the 6th minute, the 25-year-old winger quickly equalized. He played a key role, assisting in a combination play with O’Riley, Vermeeren, and Greenwood before capitalizing on a poor clearance from the opposing goalkeeper following a shot by Aubameyang (1-1). As seen throughout the Champions League season, Igor Paixao might be the crucial player for OM tonight.
