OM secured a second victory in a row after a victory in Lens, it was Monaco who lost 2-1 at the Vélodrome. Here is Valentin Rongier's note and assessment during this first meeting of the 13th day of Ligue 1.
Marseille beat Monaco in the final moments (2-1) in an intense match. From the start, OM was put under pressure and Rulli saved his team against Ben Seghir (4′). However, Monaco quickly fell into a false rhythm, leaving Marseille to take possession and respond timidly. An error of Rongier allows Golovin to open the scoring just before the break (41′). In the second half, Monaco failed to double the lead when a possible attempt by Singo was stopped at the last minute by Hojbjerg (50′). A few minutes later, an error from Salisu allows Maupay to serve Luis Henriquewho equalizes for Marseille (53′). The match intensified, but the goalkeepers stood out until a decisive penalty in the 89th minute, following a handball from Mawissa. Greenwood transforms the penalty and offers victory to OM, who overtakes Monaco and becomes the new runner-up to PSG.

His appreciation
Valentin Rongier was immediately valuable by clearing a dangerous ball after an opportunity from Balogun (4th). He then brought real solidity to the midfield with his precise passes and his clear ideas. However, his performance was tarnished by a passing error in the first period, which directly led to ASM opening the score (41st). Despite this blunder, Rongier did not give up and continued to make the game more fluid, contributing to the collective organization of OM. He has waste in certain transmissions, which can be expensive, but he brings a lot defensively, in balance and projection…
Media notes
| Team Rating | 5/10 | Valuable from the outset to clear a hot ball after Balogun's opportunity (4th), he did a lot of good in the middle with his clear ideas. But his performance was tarnished by his missed pass, which opened the score for ASM (41st). However, he did not get discouraged and continued to make the game more fluid. |
| Maxifoot rating | 5/10 | excellent in Lens, the midfielder delivered a good match overall with 109 balls touched and a lot of work on recovery (6 interceptions). But his score is inevitably impacted by his error: the former Nantes player cost his team a goal with a loss of ball which led to the opening of the Monegasque score. In the second half, he lost a new ball which offered Minamino a scoring opportunity. |
| Note from FootMercato | 7.5/10 | Author of a sparkling performance during the victory at Lens, the former Nantes player once again started in the Marseille midfield. Very interesting in the first moments, OM number 21 unfortunately spoiled his first act by being guilty of a fatal loss of the ball, leading to the opening of the Monegasque score (41st). An error which should not, however, call into question his still very solid performance overall (6 duels won out of 9, 11 balls recovered, 6 interceptions). |
