..
(.)
Like two weeks before, Marseille won 4-0 at Geoffroy-Guichard on Sunday, and concluded the year with a smile, unlike its opponent.
The meeting lasted 20 minutes. In a sold-out Cauldron, brought to boiling point, Saint-Etienne lost 4-0 to Marseille, in the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France, Sunday December 22. The Stéphanois had all the difficulty in the world to exist, weighed down by a red card collected in the 21st minute by Ibrahim Sissoko for a gesture of humor in the face of Leonardo Balerdi, several tens of meters from the ball.
At ten, ASSE had no illusions, conceding the opener with a distant free kick following the expulsion of their attacker. Mason Greenwood, with a powerful volley from the left after a pivot from Luis Henrique, inflicted the double penalty (21st). OM quickly made the break thanks to Adrien Rabiot on a corner taken by Luis Henrique, the true creator of the Marseille game (34th).
A metronome capable of concluding, as he was able to do after a shot from Valentin Rongier was blocked (68th) in a match which turned into a demonstration. Pierre-Emile Hojberg, alone in the area, completed a successful first part of the season for the Olympians with a fourth goal (81st), particularly offensively with 36 goals in 16 official matches.
This beautiful course can offer hope to Marseille supporters, awaiting a first title since the 2012 League Cup. Especially since Roberto De Zerbi's influence is becoming more visible in OM's game , who finished the match with 79% possession and 20 shots. Eirik Horneland, future new coach of the Greens, present in the stands, was able to observe the work that awaits him in his maintenance operation.
