Ligue 1: this OM remains unstoppable
This evening, Olympique de Marseille went to the developer. Undefeated since the resumption of football in France at the end of December last, OM were finally going to face an opponent of European caliber in League 1. AS Monaco also had a lot to play for in this meeting when we see the results of this start to the weekend (Rennes defeat, Lens draw).
The two teams met just before the break linked to the World Cup in a completely crazy match won by OM in the dying moments thanks to a header from Sead Kolasinac (3-2). But this time it was quite different. This Marseilles so playful absolutely did not see the light of day in the first period against Asemists not stingy with races and pressing.
Veretout is still happy
It is also a miracle if the players of Igor Tudor joined the locker room only with a gap (Jordan Veretout against his camp). They had to have their suspenders pulled up and Tudor did some coaching. Exit a non-existent Guendouzi, hello to the entry of Léo Balerdi. This change had the effect of switching Kolasinac left piston and switching Nuno Tavares right piston.
Thus, on one of the first actions of the second period, the Portuguese sent a rather improbable strike, repelled strangely by Nübel towards Alexis Sanchez, who pushed into the empty goal. Then OM pushed and could have (should?) have obtained a penalty for a foul by Maripan on Kolasinac (73rd). Finally, the two teams parted ways in a fairly logical draw.
A result that made the joy, even a little mixed, of Jordan Veretout: “ yes, I think that when you can’t win, it’s good not to lose. It was tough against a great team; on one struggled to get into the game. Ruben leaves us in the game, it’s good for him. We come back to half-time with a zero. We had a good reaction in the second half, we went for them high. We score quickly and we can even win this match. That’s a good point tonight “. monaco grab a little, OM too, remain undefeated and above all do not lose ground on Lens, the second.
