Kelyann Bezahaf took his opportunity on his first start of the season for Olympique de Marseille, producing an encouraging display in Sunday’s 2-0 victory away to Troyes.
The 20-year-old Algerian right-back was handed his chance after a number of absences affected the Marseille squad before the match. Bruno Genesio opted to place his faith in youth, allowing Bezahaf to begin the game and show what he could offer the team.
Bezahaf played the full match at right-back and made a positive impression on the coaching staff. With the opportunity to demonstrate his ability in a favourable setting, he gave Marseille another reason to consider him for future opportunities.
Sports results website Flashscore awarded him a rating of 7.8/10.
The result provided a successful end to the evening for Marseille, who secured an away win without conceding. For Bezahaf, the performance was an important personal step as he looks to earn more playing time in the colours of Olympique de Marseille.
