Scores opener in Thursday rout Rongier scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Thursday's 6-1 win versus Toulouse.

Impact Rongier opened the scoring for Marseille with a finish from very close range, though most of the goal should be credited to Samuel Gigot, who set him up with a great cross. This was his first goal of the season, however, so Rongier shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside going forward.
