The Match:
OM started their match in the worst possible way. Following a big mistake from Lyon, starting in central defense alongside Balerdi, Sinayoko found himself alone against Rulli and beat the Marseille goalkeeper (0-1, 10').
Faced with a very weak Auxerre defensive block, the Olympians struggled to create the slightest scoring opportunity. Worse still, just before the break, Auxerre doubled the lead on a quick counter-attack, taking advantage of an overwhelmed Marseille defense (0-2, 42'). And it's not over: Marseille concedes a third goal just before returning to the locker room. AJA inflicts real humiliation on OM (0-3, 45'). A disaster!
It doesn't really get better after returning from the locker room. It's even Auxerre who still have scoring opportunities. It takes a penalty on an undeniable handball in the area to allow Greenwood to reduce the score (65′, 1-3).
We then believe that OM will push but Marseille are unable to ignite the match, nor to move away from their stereotypical lateral play to play more directly forward.
OM once again lost heavily at home. A defeat which risks leaving its mark.
