Greenwood 65e sp

Rabiot 60e, Greenwood 66e, Place 87e

Leon 66e, Bair 88e

Harit injured, Ismaël Koné disappointing in Nantes, it is Luis Henrique who starts as a relay in the 4-3-3 seen away. After all, why not: this allows Rowe to stay well on his left side, Maupay keeps the lead in attack, and Kondogbia even finds the sidelines. But as a result, it's Brassier who plays in the hinge instead of Balerdi. And in the 9th minute, shock. On a clearance from the opposing goalkeeper, the central player has a complete hole: he misses the ball and falls to the ground. Sinayoko finds himself alone against Rulli and opens the scoring, almost surprised. OM pushed to equalize but without being really dangerous, with at most timid bell-shaped crosses. On the Auxerre side, it's much sharper, and Gaëtan Perrin doubles the bet on a murderous counterattack. However, the stadium still pushes its team. But the next minute, when Quentin Merlin loses a ball, does not follow behind, and it ends with a goal on the other side of Hamed Traoré, the whole public starts to whistle. It's impressive, like the slap OM received, 15 days after Paris.

And it's not over yet. Returning from the locker room, Auxerre is not far from 4-0 with a shot that ends on Rulli's post, once again on a well-placed attack. The only player to at least try, Greenwood is rewarded in the 65th minute: his shot hits the arm of a defender, a penalty that the Englishman converts. In the process, well launched by Balerdi, Wahi has a deep opportunity to bring his team back to 3-2. The control is good, but then he hits the goalkeeper. Maybe he shouldn't have. The game of small passes resumes with a vengeance and OM no longer penetrates anything at all. Horror until the end…
