Bruno Genesio had announced a Champions League poster this Saturday at the Vélodrome between his Losc and OM: in the intensity, there was indeed a scent of a great European evening today in Marseille. A draw resulted in the debates (1-1) – not illogical given the scenario of the match but frustrating for the Olympians who recovered at the very end of the match.
From the 17e minute in fact, the Phocaeans were able to gain the upper hand on the scoreboard thanks to a Merlin full of composure (1-0). An advantage that OM maintained for a long time, failing to double it on several hot opportunities in the second period – including a post blown by Maupay and at least two contentious actions in the penalty area which pissed off the Marseille staff.
Rulli still decisive
At the 87e minute, it was finally Diakité who struck, setting the record straight in an incandescent Vélodrome (1-1). The realization of numerous opportunities in favor of Lille as well, in a part where the grinta of Rulli, the Olympian goalkeeper, will have worked wonders once again. And for Losc a precious achievement which brings the Mastiffs’ invincibility series to 16 outings in all competitions.
Roberto De Zerbi, in an excess of enthusiasm at a press conference, had mentioned a nine-point match between his team and the northern collective – it is always three units which at the final whistle separate OM, second, from Lille , fourth. Third for the moment, Monaco could grab a place if they succeed in Reims in the evening. Lyon, fifth, could do the same in the event of a victory in Paris on Sunday evening.
