Faced with an Angevin team without complexes and well organized defensively, Olympique de Marseille shared points for the first time this season at the Velodrome after a rather disappointing collective performance. Marseille 1: 1 Angers Live Thank you for following this meeting with us, we will see you very soon on our site for other deadlines . While we were expecting Olympique de Marseille to seek revenge after their first defeat of the season against Strasbourg, Robert De Zerbi's men were unable to gain the upper hand over an Angevin team that was playful, organized and never suffered against OM, at least not as we expected. After a first quarter of an hour where the hosts were dangerous on two chances from Greenwood (7th, 11th), Alexandre Dujeux's men were able to express themselves in midfield with passes that often pierced the Olympian defense which resulted in a few clear chances from Niane (19th) and Abdelli (33rd). It was in the heart of the first period that the fate of this match was decided, with the expulsions of Rao Lisoa (26th) followed by that of Neil Maupay (30th). With ten against ten, the tactical system of the two teams was turned upside down, and the two teams had difficulty finding their bearings. It was not until the start of the second half that the situation began to improve, with first a nice goal from substitute Jonathan Rowe (1-0, 51st), then the individual feat of El Melaili who scored a sublime free kick that left Rulli with no chance (1-1, 54th). Despite Rabiot's entry, Marseille did not show much in the last half hour, the feeling of regret will be less important when we see the very few chances that Marseille created tonight. With this draw, Olympique de Marseille remains third in the provisional standings with 14 points, but Reims, who host Montpellier on Sunday, can catch up with OM. Angers remains at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings with 3 points It's over at the Vélodrome, Marseille was held to a draw by Angers (1-1) after a rather disappointing overall performance. The sending off of Neil Maupay did not make the task of the Phocéens any easier against a well-organised team defensively The referee adds six minutes in this second period, so there is still some time for both teams to make the difference. Amine Harit will try to bring a little extra freshness and technique in the last five minutes of the match. El Melali is replaced by Belkhdim, While Hanin leaves his place to Ekomie Dane's header that passes a few meters from the opposing goal. Marseille increases its domination Angers seem to enjoy controlling possession of the ball. The attackers make a lot of runs, which helps the midfielders build the game. Mason Greenwood (Marseille) takes the corner, but fails to find a teammate. The ball is cleared calmly by the defense Goal disallowed for Marseille, Murillo first touched a Garcia cross with his arm before deflecting the ball into the opposing goal with his head. The Italian coach is furious on the Marseille bench, he rants against his attackers for the lack of lucidity in front of the opposing goal The Angevin striker infiltrates the Marseille camp and attempts a beautiful cross shot that doesn't go far from the opposing goal. OM's advantage didn't last long, on a direct free kick, El Melaili places the ball perfectly in the opposing goal after going around the Marseille wall. 1-1 Jonathan Rowe opens the scoring with a shot in the box following an Angevin loss of the ball. His powerful and precise shot leaves no chance for Fofana. 1-0 for Marseille READ MORE
