OM, dominant but imprecise in the last gesture, was surprised by Lens at the very end of the game.

Olympique de Marseille received the RC Lens this Saturday at the Vélodrome for the 25th day of Ligue 1.. A final rehearsal for the men of Roberto de Zerbi before the long-awaited classic against Paris Saint-Germain, scheduled on March 16 at the Parc des Princes.

A first dominated but sterile period

The Phocaeans quickly took the lead, obtaining a first opportunity from the start. Found at the entrance to the Lensoise surface, DEDIC set off a shot that bordered on the transverse bar (1st). With the control of the ball in their favor, the Olympians have multiplied the assaults, but without success.

Gouiri, in particular, had two huge opportunities to open the scoring. On a deep ball, the Algerian striker saw his strike violently hit the transverse (21st). Shortly after half an hour of play, his attempt in first intention was brilliantly pushed by Mathew Ryan, the porter of the Blood and Gold (31st).

Despite a clear domination and long phases of possession, the Marseillais stumbled on a well -gathered Lensois block. The visitors also had their chance, but Diouf, alone against Rulli six meters from the goal, lacked his duel and let a gold opportunity pass (26th).

A second frustrating act before the final blow

Upon returning from the locker room, the physiognomy of the match remained the same. OM was pushing, but Ryan was intractable. The Lensois, well organized, were trying to prick against, like a shot from Said, headed by an Olympian defender before the time of play (59th).

The Marseillais continued to lack efficiency. Coming into play, Luis Henrique saw his shot stopped by Ryan (84th), while Maupay, after a solo breakthrough, also saw his attempt pushed by the Australian goalkeeper (86th).

Finally, the scenario rocked in favor of visitors. On one of the rare Lensois opportunities, Machado served El Aynaoui in the area, whose limpid shot came to be housed in the right skylight of Rulli (0-1, 90+4 ').
