Zapping Foot National Interview – The underside of amateur football, with Romain Molina

A great confrontation. This Sunday evening, Olympique de traveled to the pitch at the Stade de la Beaujoire to face FC in the closing match of the tenth day of Ligue 1. A meeting which saw the city club Marseille won with a score of two goals to one and thus reacted well following the spanking conceded during the Classic against PSG. OM regains second place in the ranking, Nantes is fourteenth.

Everything has to be done again for OM in 1st

Olympique de Marseille will immediately put their foot on the ball and will create a real opportunity for the first time in the game in the seventh minute of play. After a high-class oriented control, Mason Greenwood advances then continues with a shot deflected by Alban Lafont. In the process, the Englishman will be found by Neal Maupay on a deflection and will try to launch Jonathan Rowe with an outside foot. It's too long. FC Nantes is not there at all at the start of the match and will come very close to conceding the opener in the 18th minute of play. Neal Maupay is found on a cross and is about to strike but sees Nicolas Cozza clears the ball for a corner just before the attacker strikes!

The Marseille club opened the scoring a few moments later. Jonathan Rowe makes the difference on his left side and crosses hard towards the far post. Neal Maupay is present and throws himself to push the leather into the back of the net. Just before the half-hour mark, the Canaries came close to conceding the break goal… due to a blunder by Mostafa Mohamed. From a corner, the Egyptian international striker tries to head clear but sees his deflection crashing onto the Nantes crossbar. A short timeout will take place due to a communication problem between the referees. It was enough to put the locals back in their game. In the process, Tino Kadewere will attempt a lob on Géronimo Rulli, who makes a classy save by jumping. Roberto De Zerbi's men seemed completely different from the first half hour and conceded the equalizer in the 39th minute of play. In a wonderful collective action, Marcus Coco crossed for Tino Kadewere, who finished the job magnificently. Everything has to be redone for OM.

Greenwood makes the powder speak

Olympique de Marseille will return to the pitch with the ambition of stifling their evening opponent. The first opportunity of this second period will however be to honor the locals, through Mostafa Mohamed. The attacker, however, fails to find the target. In the process, Leonardo Balerdi will rush back to prevent the Egyptian international from appearing in front of his goalkeeper. At the hour mark, Olympique de Marseille will regain the advantage. Mason Greenwood is found at the entrance to the opponent's area, gets back on his left foot and crosses his shot perfectly. What a goal from the former Manchester United player. In the process, FC Nantes will create a very big opportunity.

Géronimo Rulli will win his duel… with a head! A few seconds later, Tino Kadewere took advantage of very poor control from Geoffrey Kondogbia to appear in front of OM's last rampart. The Zimbabwean international, however, sends his shot into the sky at the Beaujoire stadium. The Marseille city club, losing momentum over the minutes, will then begin to lose ground. In the 83rd minute of play, Adrien Rabiot, however, came close to making the break and scoring his first goal under his new colors. The French midfielder and international strikes on his right foot at the edge of the area before curling. It's on Alban Lafont's post. In the process, Derek Cornelius will give up his place due to injury, visibly injured in a rib on the left side. However, the score will not change. OM logically won in Nantes and moved up to second place.

To summarize

A great confrontation. This Sunday evening, Olympique de Marseille traveled to the pitch at the Stade de la Beaujoire to face FC Nantes in the closing match of the tenth day of Ligue 1. A meeting which saw the city club Marseille won with a score of two goals to one.
