The Marseillais clearly beat the Montpellier residents this Sunday at La Mosson, at the end of the 8th day of L1 (0-5).
After a defeat in Strasbourg (1-0) and a draw at home in front of Angers (1-1), OM had to react this Sunday at the end of an international break which clearly will have been good for the heads. On the Mosson pitch, Roberto De Zerbi’s men left their Montpellier hosts no chance, winning with a score of 0-5 to close the 8e lifting of the championship.
It only took 48 seconds for the Phocéens to find the fault, by Wahi, the former MHSC who finally found a little efficiency after a long period of silence following his converted penalty against Brest two months earlier (0-1, 1era). Well reassured by a Rulli who was still impeccable in his cage, the Olympians were able to hit the nail on the head twice in the first period, thanks to Harit (0-2, 36e) and Hojbjerg (0-3, 40e).
A six-point shock next Sunday against PSG
After the break, Greenwood’s talent allowed the visitors to add even more to the score (0-4, 58e). And the demonstration of force of the Marseillais to find itself facilitated in the process by the expulsion of the young Dzodic (64e). However, if it is not a fifth and final goal scored by the incoming Luis Henrique (0-5, 73e), OM did not try too hard to shoot at the ambulance.
Building on this success, President Longoria’s club consolidates its position on the podium, three lengths from Monaco and a Parisian leader who will have to go to Marseillais next Sunday for the long-awaited clash of the 9e day of Ligue 1 – a real six-point match in short. Montpellier, now at the bottom, will try to move forward at the expense of Toulouse, another team in difficulty in recent weeks.
