Sunday at the end of the 19th day, OM, without inspiration, lost to OGC Nice (2-0) and allowed PSG to have a ten-point lead at the top of the championship.
Bad evening for the Marseillais. Uninspired and mishandled in all areas of the game, Roberto De Zerbi’s men were soundly beaten by enterprising Nice (2-0) in the Southern derby. Evann Guessand (7th) and Mohamed-Ali Cho (51st) scored the goals for the Riviera. The Olympians were in great difficulty defensively, like Lilian Brassier, guilty of a disastrous triple blunder in the first period on the Aiglons’ opener.
Apathetic, the Phocaeans never seemed able to catch up against the opportunistic and over-motivated Niçois in an atmosphere of the Allianz Riviera that was boiling, even hostile at certain times. Thanks to this important success, Franck Haise’s players climb to fourth place in the ranking and come back to four points behind OM. For their part, the Marseillais have a second match without a victory and are ten points behind PSG.
