Thank you for following this meeting with us, we will see you very soon on our site for other deadlines .

23:01 – The summary

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.
