Time for the first big thrill. After conceding two draws, Toulouse will host Marseille at the Stadium for the third day of Ligue 1.
16′ Break goal for Marseille!!!
Terrible for TFC; on another bad pass from Cresswell, OM quickly project themselves and it is again Greenwood who is found on the right in the penalty area, Guillaume Restes is not exempt from all reproach.
15′ Goal for OM
Cresswell loses the ball in the axis by missing his pass. Luis Henrique and Merlin combine well, Luis Henrique finds Greenwood, the Englishman in pivot crosses his shot and deceives Restes
12′ first attack for OM
Uninspired under the pressure from the Violets, the OM players venture into the Toulouse area for the first time this evening, Guillaume Restes is not worried.
9′ first yellow card
Marseille captain Pierre-Emile Hojberg commits an unsportsmanlike foul to put an end to Toulouse’s counter-attack. He is logically sanctioned with a yellow card.
8′ Toulouse is looking dangerous
The tactic is clear, the Toulousains want to destabilize the Marseille defense by going through the air and behind.
7′ first foul
Zakaria Aboukhlal charges Lilian Brassier with too much commitment. It’s the first foul of the match, no card from Stéphanie Frappart.
5′ No pressure for the Violets
In a hurry for a while, Novell’s players looked for the backs of the Marseille defenders to create situations for themselves.
3′ The Toulousains put the pressure on
TFC sets the Marseille area on fire. Gboho alone makes the Olympian defenders panic. Cornelius almost beats his own goalkeeper, the ball goes out for a corner.
