The objective was clear: play the Coupe de France thoroughly this season to win a first title since 2012, and an Old Lady who has cruelly refused the Marseillais since 1989. An eternity.

An achievement that has long been synonymous with qualification, before the final Marseille finale. In the wake of a post being rung by Greenwood, the Olympians, at the end of the suspense, managed to get back on the scoreboard, rewarded for their efforts by a cannon shot from Luis Henrique (1-1, 90e+6).

Undefeated in all competitions since mid-September and a setback conceded in C1 against Sporting, Losc de Genesio continues to impress this season. With in his pocket now a ticket for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France acquired through a tough fight. In a table prematurely orphaned by rivals such as OM, Monaco and Lens…
