The Vélodrome regains its voice
This goal ignited the OM supporters who were unhappy at the break.
ROWE ENCORE HEROS !!
LIKE AGAINST LYON, ROWE MARKS! The former Norwich player turns around and follows up with an unstoppable low strike for Fofana. The situation is finally resolved.
Greenwood does not pass
The former Manchester United player tries a lot but, for the moment, comes up against the Angevin defense.
Fofana on the trajectory
Greenwood looks for a partner in the center but Fofana leaves his cages and pushes back.
Wahi, Lirola and Rabiot warm up
The Marseille coach sent three players to warm up, including his latest reinforcement Adrien Rabiot.
A difficult first pass
Balerdi tries to find Murillo on a difficult and too deep through ball. Goal kick for the SCO.
A change at the break
Roberto De Zerbi decided to make a change at half-time with Carboni coming off replaced by Rowe.
Here we go again!
After a very choppy first period marked by two red cards, the two teams are back to compete in this second act.
It’s the break!
Two red cards and that’s almost it! Marseille and Angers return to the locker room at 10 against 10 after the exclusions of Raolisoa and Maupay in a very poor first act. The Vélodrome is rumbling.
A new box
The young Argentinian international is late and lets his sole drag. Romain Lissorgue shows a new yellow card in this first act.
Ferhat gives up his seat
Alexandre Dujeux is forced to make a change following the injury to his right midfielder. Arcus replaces him.
Ferhat is affected
The Angevin midfielder requests a change after touching the back of his thigh. He can’t continue.
Additional time
Four minutes were added to this first act marked by an exclusion on each side.
Carboni tries
The Argentinian midfielder turns around very quickly after a recovered ball and strikes but it is still not on target. Fofana is calm.
Abdelli does not fit
The Angers playmaker takes advantage of a call from the side to cut back into the axis and is hit but it is off target.
Niane surprised!
The Angers striker had been ideally served by Lefort but he seemed to be surprised to receive the ball and his head was unscrewed.
Aholou gets the corner
The Angevin midfielder continues to provide a lot of solutions in the opposing half and fights to obtain a corner.
A rather slow pace
After 40 minutes of play, there was nothing to get excited about in Marseille. The Phocaeans have mastery of the leather but cannot shake up the SCO defense.
The Vélodrome is getting impatient
A few whistles fall from the stands of the Vélodrome because OM thwarts and insists in the middle while the game seems closed. Hojbjerg misses his pass towards Greenwood and the supporters don’t like it.
Missing Balerdi
Faced with an Angers team cowering on its surface, Balerdi tried his luck from a long distance but it failed.
Garcia is countered
After a carelessness from El Melali in his area, Garcia recovers and follows with a strike which is countered by the Angevin defense.
WHAT A CANNON SHOT!
Finally some football this evening! After two red cards, Abdelli sent a thrill to the Vélodrome with a powerful shot deflected with his fingertips by Rulli.
MAUPAY EXCLU!!
Second yellow in three minutes for Neal Maupay who is therefore excluded! The Marseille striker let his sole drag and is logically excluded.
Murillo misses his pass
The Olympian defender wants to find Carboni with his back to goal but his pass is imprecise. The Phocaeans are struggling to find each other.
Possession largely in favor of OM
Since the start of the match, Marseille has 78% of ball possession. The red card received by Raolisoa will not help the situation.
Maupay takes a yellow
The former Everton player prevents Fofana from restarting quickly and receives a yellow card which seemed largely avoidable.
It’s red!
Lilian Raolisoa is logically excluded after his very dangerous tackle on Ulisses Garcia. Angers finds itself numerically inferior.
A yellow that turns into red?
After sending a yellow to Raolisoa, Romain Lissorgue was finally called by the VAR. Red should be addressed.
Raolisoa’s very dangerous tackle!
The foot was very high on the part of the Angevin. Garcia is on the ground and the referee takes his time before deciding.
Balerdi impatient
The Argentine defender pushes Niane while the Angers attacker was completely alone. Things are heating up between the Argentinian and the Senegalese.
Advance rollers
Niane is called upon in depth but the OM goalkeeper comes out in front of the opposing attacker and calmly restarts.
Aholou tries the impossible
The Angevin midfielder recovers a ball in his half and tries to lob Rulli from a very long distance. The Argentinian goalkeeper controls his chest.
Raolisoa lacks precision
The Angevin full-back is served by Aholou after making a good call but his cross is missed.
Very active Zerbi
The OM coach has spoken a lot to his players since the start of the match. This is a sign that the Italian coach is not yet satisfied with what he sees.
Angers suffers
Marseille is besieging the SCO surface. For the moment, the Angevins are managing to hold on.
A first danger!
Greenwood calls on Fofana for this off-balance shot but it is quite easily repelled by the Angevin goalkeeper.
The return of Balerdi
The Angevins tried to surprise Marseille on the counter after the corner was pushed back but Balerdi made an excellent return to Niane’s feet.
Greenwood prend sa chance
The Englishman tries to enter the opposing area but his shot is hit and goes for a corner. The first of the evening.
The recovery of Aholou
The former Strasbourg player inherits the leather near the Marseille area and takes his chance but it flies away.
Cornelius in retard
Niane takes the ball with her head just in front of Cornelius who intervenes late. Free kick for Angers.
Garcia’s shooting center
After a good shift from Kondogbia towards Garcia, the latter crosses with first intention but it ends above Fofana’s cages.
OM takes the ball
Without much surprise, Angers approaches this meeting with a lot of wait-and-see attitude. Marseille has the ball but is not taking any risks at the moment.
A first center
Kondogbia made a good comeback and deflected an Angevin cross which finally ended up in the gloves of Rulli.
Here we go !
The 7th day of Ligue 1 is underway! OM welcome Angers to the Stade Vélodrome for a clash of extremes.
The atmosphere is rising at the Vélodrome
The two teams return to the pitch to play the first match of this 7th day of Ligue 1. The atmosphere at the Vélodrome intensifies.
Angers can’t do it
Beyond Angers’ poor form at the moment, the Angers players have not beaten OM since 2015. Taking a point at the Vélodrome this evening almost looks like a mission impossible but nothing is impossible in the soccer.
Rabiot was presented
The latest addition to the Olympian squad this season, Adrien Rabiot was presented at his new stadium. The former Parisian does not start this evening but could come into play this evening.
The worst start to the season in the history of Angers
SCO’s return to Ligue 1 is very far from ideal. Indeed, the Angevins have two small points after six days, constituting their worst total in their history in the elite at this level of the season.
Angers has still not had the slightest success and this trip to the Vélodrome promises to be more than dangerous.
An almost impregnable fortress
OM returns to the Vélodrome after two matches in a row away from home. And this return home is a good thing for the Olympians who have lost only one of their last 25 matches in their den.
The OM eleven, Wahi replacing, Maupay and Carboni starting
Rulli – Murillo, Balerdi, Cornelius, Garcia – Hojbjerg, Kondogbia – Greenwood, Carboni, Luis Henrique – Maupay
The Angers team
Fofana – Raolisoa, Biumla, Lefort, Hanin – Aholou, Belkebla – Ferhat, El Melali, Abdelli – Niane
Hello and welcome everyone to this live
With only 2 points in 6 games, Angers presents itself as the perfect victim for a vengeful OM, after a great start to the season, but a rather impromptu setback in Strasbourg on Sunday evening. Yes, but here we are, the Angevins launched their “comeback” operation in the rankings this week and might not want to let it happen. For OM, it is of course a question of catching up in the ranking with the two leaders, Paris and Monaco.
The kick-off will be given at 8:45 p.m., on DAZN, which has launched an offer with 7 free days for the occasion. The compositions will be available one hour before. A match to also follow on RMC, and with live commentary on the RMC Sport website and app.
