An electric atmosphere

Result, while OM found the fault twice in the first quarter of an hour, by Keyliane Abdallah (6e) and Mathis Clément (14e), Christian Bracconi’s kids have been showered with whistles and insults since kick-off. An electric atmosphere which, however, does not seem to disturb the Marseillais too much.
