OM offers itself a crazy Olympico

Unlucky for a long time in this closing clash of the 5th day of L1, OM got the better of OL this Sunday evening in Lyon, at the end of a crazy scenario (2-3).

Incredible Olympico that was observed this Sunday evening at the Groupama Stadium, between an OM candidate assumed to a big season and an OL in perpetual reconstruction. While everything seemed to smile on the Lyonnais for the occasion, it was indeed the Marseillais who had the last word in this closing match of the 5e Ligue 1 act (2-3).

Double warned between 1era and the 5e

minute, Balerdi, the Marseille captain, left his team too quickly in numerical inferiority, sent off by a somewhat overzealous Mr Bastien, it is true. A dramatic turn of events which obviously did not fail to lead to a tidal wave of Rhone players on Rulli’s goal, who held firm throughout the first half, until he pushed back a penalty from Lacazette in added time (45e+6).

On returning from the locker room, however, the Gones logically ended up finding the fault, thanks to a former Olympian – as a symbol – a Caleta-Car who then scored with a header (1-0, 53e). However, in the process, Pierre Sage’s men were unable to put the nail in the coffin; and Marseille took advantage of this to turn the tide, with improbable goals from Lirola (1-1, 69e) and Garcia (1-2, 82e), two summer undesirables.

“A disgrace” according to Cherki

The story, of course, could not end there, and Cherki in turn offered himself his minute of glory by thinking he could snatch the equalizer, he the Gone recently extended after having been given the starting line-up all off-season (2-2, 90e+3). A simple setback for OM who, in a final offensive burst, on a restart error from Perri, finally finished off OL, with a wonderful curling shot from Rowe (2-3, 90e+5).

” It’s a shame! We had 3500 chances and we’re going backwards… They (the Marseillais) had nothing going for them today and they leave with the three points “, Cherki whispered, in the heat of the moment, on DAZN. For Lyon, 14e

of L1 already weighed down by three defeats, this defeat risks indeed leaving traces. On the contrary, this result will probably give wings to a Marseille co-leader of the elite wedged between Paris and Monaco, with 13 points collected out of 15 possible.
