IN PROGRESS: Updated December 14, 2023 at 9:30 p.m.
21:30
27′ – Balerdi remains on the ground
The Argentine defender remains on the ground after an ugly duel with Pedro. The Brighton player gave Balerdi a slap which seemed very unintentional.
21:29
26′ – Pressing makes the difference
The Seagulls are sticking to their game plan focused on enormous pressing which worries the Marseillais in this first period. Indeed, Roberto De Zerbi’s men push the OM defenders into the ropes to recover the ball high and prevent them from building their game.
21:27
24′ – OM tries without success
On a serve from Aubameyang, Harit overflows to the left and tries to enter the area. After a leg pass, Harit is blocked by Van Hecke and Veretout’s recovery ends at the goal.
21:24
21′ – Great combination from Brighton
Great collective action by the locals. On the left side, Pascal Gross makes a long opening to find Simon Adingra on the right flank of the Marseille area who puts it back in the pile with one touch. Pedro tries the scissors in front of Pau Lopez but Mbemba watches to clear.
21:22
19′ – Marseille supporters make noise
More than 1,500 OM supporters are present here in Falmer. Several Marseille songs are heard in the aisles of the AMEX Stadium.
21:20
17′ – Mitoma tente with a chance
Brighton tries to make the difference from afar but once again, Mitoma’s shot from 25 meters achieves nothing after a nice serve from Joao Pedro. Pau Lopez lies down without worry to catch the ball.
21:17
15′ – THE TRANSVERSAL FOR MARSEILLE!
Clauss’ long shot was misdirected by the Brighton defense and the ball took a perfect trajectory to crash into Jason Steele’s post. The guard was completely beaten. OM almost opened the scoring with some success.
21:16
13′ – Marseille makes a first foray
Finally, OM is trying things in attack. In a quick touch, Harit finds himself on the edge of the area, his back to goal, and attempts a backheel to slip it to Vitinha but the defense watches. On the following action, Clauss’ cross is blocked. Corner coming for Marseille.
21:13
9′ – A tough start to the match
The poster is far from fulfilling all its promises at the moment. The pace is very choppy due to the seven fouls committed by the two teams in total. There wasn’t much offensive spark. Marseille has not yet scored, Brighton are playing but are struggling to be dangerous.
21:09
6′ – Fouls but no action
No real opportunity yet on both sides. The two teams seem to play the same start to the match: a lot of energy is put into pressing and it is therefore difficult to restart properly. The first strike of the match is distant and signed Adingra but it ends in the gloves of Pau Lopez.
21:05
3′ – Lots of intensity
The two clubs are testing each other at the start of the meeting. We feel the players are motivated and aggressive in the first duels. The stakes are high this Thursday evening in this meeting. Marseille installs a fairly high pressure.
21:02
1′ – Here we go
Kick-off here in Falmer!
20:58
Kick-off imminent
Both teams are in the stadium tunnel. The 22 actors are preparing to enter the lawn. The kick-off is therefore imminent for this poster for the 6th day of the Europa League.
20:32
Battle of scorers
This meeting is also an opportunity to enjoy a duel of great attackers. Indeed, Marseille’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Brighton’s Joao Pedro share the status of top scorer in the competition this season with 5 goals for both men. Will one of the two men gain the upper hand over the other this evening?
20:29
A single issue for both teams
The two teams are already qualified but they will nevertheless cross swords for an important objective: to pocket first place in group B. In the event of a victory or a draw, the Marseillais will validate the head of their group. The top eight in the Europa League groups qualify for the round of 16. The runners-up are sent to a play-off, a sort of round of 16, where they will face the third-placed teams in the Champions League, which includes RC Lens. Finishing first means avoiding an extra lap.
20:21
Last minute absence
Announced as a probable starter in the Marseille defense, Samuel Gigot will ultimately not be lined up in Gennaro Gattuso’s eleven due to an illness contracted by the player. He is in fact unwell this Thursday evening and will not be able to assume his role. It is therefore Bamo Meïte who will start.
20:15
