LThe victory came last Sunday against Strasbourg on a Olympique de Marseille who could not overcome the draw (1-1) against the bottom of Angers at the Velodrome. ‘Low time’ for De Zerbi’s men should continue to extend from the start of the race marked by PSG and Monaco. After a great month of September (full of victories)… October is becoming difficult for them.
Marseille jumped into the Velodrome with the clear intention of correcting many of the elements that hindered them during their visit to Strasbourg. trying to lock Angers solid in his own field. However, they got stuck in the last third and they hardly troubled Fofana, who lived quite calmly throughout the first act.
Even Raolisoa’s dismissal for a straight red card in the 26th minute could not help OM, who were also 10 down five minutes later. Maupauy, who started today ahead of Wahi, saw a double yellow. Spaces began to appear and the game showed signs of breaking up. But It was Angers who finished the first half feeling better when Abdelli’s shot from the edge of the area forced Rulli into his own.
De Zerbi responded by bringing Rowe on at half-time and former Noriwch player agreed the Italian coach putting OM ahead in the 51st minute after a high steal from Höjbjerg. Their happiness did not last long, since less than five minutes later Melali nailed a free kick from the edge of the area to tie the score at 1-1.
Marseille, with the changes of Rabiot, Harit and Wahi, went to an open grave He went to win… and he wasn’t far from finding it. And with 20 minutes to go, The VAR disallowed Murillo’s goal as he touched it completely involuntarily with his hand after an unusual cross from Ulises García.
Anger had to be down because they would see the escape point in the last minutes set piece. Höjbjerg, however, spent her life to find an end a valuable tie for the Velodrome that doesn’t help them abandon the ‘red lantern’… but is always remembered at the end of the seasonwhether it involves salvation. OM, for its part, are still two points behind PSG and Monaco with one game to go.
