Monaco beaten and Lille held in check, OM took advantage of the weekend’s results to take second place in the elite behind PSG. Thanks to a victory in Nantes (1-2).
A week after its disaster at the Vélodrome against Paris (0-3), OM were able to pull themselves together on the Nantes pitch, this Sunday evening, at the end of the 10e day of Ligue 1 (1-2). With the found executives that are Hojbjerg, Rabiot or Greenwood.
Preferred to Wahi at the forefront of the attack, it was Maupay who opened the hostilities in a Beaujoire full as an egg and a beautiful atmosphere. After a tense cross from Rowe was misread by the Nantes defense, the pugnacious Marseille attacker did not miss the opportunity (0-1, 24e). Insufficient, however, to ensure OM had a lead on the scoreboard at the break.
Greenwood makes the difference
Despite a one-sided first act, the Canaries were able to get back into the game with a school action perfectly relayed by Coco and concluded by Kadewere (1-1, 39e). An equalizer which could have weighed on Marseille’s heads and legs but ultimately had no consequence given the recovery of Roberto De Zerbi’s men.
Shortly after the hour mark, the Marseillais regained the advantage with a nice distant inspiration from Greenwood (1-2, 61ste). Before suffering the final attacks from Nantes and missing various opportunities for deadly counterattacks, Rabiot even went so far as to ring the posts of Lafont’s goal. No matter, after 10 days and with 20 points on the clock, OM once again become the first runner-up to PSG, ahead of Monaco, six points behind the leadership. The FCN, on the other hand, remains in doubt, 14e
with 10 units, as many as the first relegation from Saint-Etienne.
