Olympique de Marseille was not spoiled by the refereeing during its second round against Shakhtar Donetsk this Thursday evening.
By conceding a penalty from the start for a foul by Jonathan Clauss, Olympique de Marseille did not get off to a good start in their return match against Shakhtar this Thursday evening. But in this open and lively meeting, Jean-Louis Gasset’s men can consider themselves wronged by the refereeing body.
Because in addition to this first act of play which allowed the Ukrainian team to shower the Vélodrome (7th), the Marseillais could also have benefited from a penalty in this meeting. Two contentious situations caught the attention of observers.
OM wronged by the referee!
The first concerned an action involving Samuel Gigot in the opposing area. The French defender collapsed after a duel, but the match referee did not whistle a penalty (38th).
A few minutes later, an even more significant play provoked the anger of the Marseillais. When making a deflection for Harit, Moumbagna was clearly caught by his opponent in the area. After intervention by the video assistance, the penalty was not awarded either. A harsh decision for OM, who had equalized in the meantime thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (23rd).
