Then it was Maupay’s turn to take a red card after receiving a first yellow card for an imaginary foul on Fofana then a 2nd yellow for a high foot on Jean-Eudes Aholou. 30′
Things are starting to rumble at the velodrome, because the Marseillais are playing ball, but are unable to break through the Angevin barrier. OM gives the impression of playing a friendly match without any stakes.
