A Historic Moment for Brighton | Key Highlights & Achievements

Brighton's last-gasp 1-0 triumph over Marseille in the Europa League has been hailed as a "historic moment" by manager Roberto De Zerbi. Joao Pedro's 89th-minute thunderbolt secured the victory, propelling the Seagulls to the top of Group B and ensuring direct entry into the last 16. De Zerbi praised the extraordinary atmosphere at the Amex Stadium, crediting the crowd as a "12th player." Reflecting on the team's turnaround from a 2-0 deficit in Marseille, De Zerbi dedicated the win to former club Foggia. Joao Pedro, the competition's leading scorer, earned special acclaim for his pivotal role. Marseille, needing just a draw, saw their defensive strategy crumble against Brighton's late surge. Manager Gennaro Gattuso acknowledged Brighton's quality and lamented his team's inability to match it. The victory marked a significant achievement for Brighton, avoiding the playoff round and setting the stage for their continued Europa League campaign.
