Facing Monaco this Saturday as part of the 19th day of L1, OM have long played in numerical superiority without being able to make the difference (2-2).
For the third time this season, OM failed to win after playing most of the game in numerical superiority. Under the orders of Marcelino at the start of the season, the Marseillais missed the boat against Metz and Nantes; they did it again this Sunday against Monaco, beneficiaries of the severe expulsion of Maripan from the 11e minute without making a difference.
Trailing then after a goal from Ben Yedder (7e), the Olympians, initially, took advantage of their advantage, finding the fault in their turn through Aubameyang (38e). Only their naivety played tricks on them just before the break; and Akliouche, as on the way out, was able to sanction the Marseille largesse (45e+4). Returning from the locker room, a cannon shot from Balerdi gave hope to the Vélodrome (50e). In vain.
Vitinha misses the inevitable
Like Vitinha, terribly clumsy again this evening – to the point of missing a goal from close range in added time – Gattuso’s men once again displayed serious shortcomings this Saturday. Even at 11 against 9 after the expulsion of Zakaria at the end of the match (87e), the ASM did not really shake or suffer. On arrival, OM missed the opportunity to come back to within two lengths of their evening opponent, remaining relegated five points behind the Principality club and the podium where Paris, Nice and Brest currently appear.
