Just relaunched at the expense of Toulouse (3-2 victory last Sunday), OM relapses heavily this Saturday in Monaco, on behalf of 29e Act of League 1. Faced with a more solid Monegasque host defensively and better organized, the men of Roberto de Zerbi bowed 3-0.
At the heart of a balanced first period, the Principality's club took the lead after a confused action concluded by Minamino (1-0, 36e). After the break, Embolo took care of the station wagon by finding the flaw on the edge of the offside (2-0, 59e). The last word having returned to Zakaria on a penalty awkwardly conceded by Rulli (3-0, 80e).
Once again, it was therefore the defensive gaps of the Marseillais who allowed their opponents to make the difference, with a fifth defeat on the arrival in seven days of the championship – the fourth by collecting three goals after Auxerre, Paris and Reims. An Achilles heel that may well cost the Phocaeans dearly at the end of the season.
OM, a podium far from acquired
OM loses there more than a match indeed, abandoning second place to ASM and exposing a return to its steps in Strasbourg, Lyon, Lille and Nice. More than ever, the position of the Olympians on the podium seems weakened and especially not acquired five lifes from the verdict. The observation also applies to Monaco who, despite his victory of the day, is not immune in view of his inconstancy.
The upcoming ASM's upcoming calendar: Strasbourg reception, trips to Le Havre and Saint-Etienne, reception from Lyon, trip to Lens.
The upcoming OM's upcoming calendar: Montpellier and Brest receptions, trips to Lille and Le Havre, reception of Rennes.
