OM has (already) given up on the Coupe de France. Traveling to Rennes for the clash of the round of 16, the Marseille club let qualification slip after an endless penalty shootout (1-1, 9 tab 8). A big disappointment for the Marseillais, who had nevertheless taken the match from the right end.
Despite two injuries, OM takes the lead
In a still sold-out Roazhon Park, OM went through all the emotions during a first period full of twists and turns. The Marseillais, already weakened by numerous absences, had to quickly deal with the premature exits due to injury of Murillo (16th) and Nadir (28th). Which did not prevent them from taking the lead, facing a messy Rennais. And still just as feverish behind. Forgotten by the Breton defense on a cross from Clauss, Veretout gave Gallon no chance at the far post (0-1, 29th). Punished, Rennes ended up reacting. Bourigeaud could have materialized this burst just before the break, but the Rennes captain missed his penalty in front of a heroic Lopez (45th + 4).
Terrier, one year later
Celebrated by his teammates when returning to the locker room, the Marseille goalkeeper had only pushed back the deadline. Because from the restart, Rennes set a hellish pace on their lawn, chaining attacks into the opponent’s area. OM wasted no time in cracking. If Kalimuendo missed the target from close range (48th), Terrier was able to equalize with a header from a free kick (1-1, 53rd). His first goal scored at Roazhon Park in over a year. Suffering for many minutes, Gennaro Gattuso’s men let the storm pass and finally regained greater control during a last quarter of an hour without intensity.
Back to back at the end of regulation time, the two teams put the nerves of their supporters to the test during an interminable penalty shootout. And after a long series of duels won by the shooters, Gigot precipitated the fall of OM by sending his shot onto the bar. The young Nagida did not miss the opportunity to offer qualification to the relieved Rennais. In the next round, the Rouge et Noir will travel to Sochaux.
