Defeated in the Champions League in Frankfurt on Wednesday, OM are going through a zone of turbulence. In Ligue 1, the Phocaeans remained on three defeats against Ajaccio (1-2), Paris (0-1) and Lens (0-1), and could react against Strasbourg, Saturday October 29, so as not to be left behind by the head carriage.
Igor Tudor’s men, dominating most of the game and leading 0-2 thanks to Bamba Dieng (0-1, 8th) and Issa Kaboré (0-2, 35th), ended up conceding a draw at La Meinau . Lebo Mothiba (1-2, 76th) and Kevin Gameiro (2-2, 90th + 4) allowed the Alsatians to bring back a point in the last seconds of added time. An unexpected result for the premises, amorphous for 75 minutes then metamorphosed after the reduction of the score.
In the standings, Dimitri Payet and his teammates are treading water and losing two points to their direct competitors, notably Lens, who dominated Toulouse at Bollaert (3-0), Friday night. Seventh draw in 13 games for the players of Julien Stéphan, who are provisionally in 16th place and are still looking for a second success in Ligue 1 this season.
