The end of the match between OM and Lille was electric this Saturday at the Vélodrome. At the heart of the cyclone, Willy Delajod excluded Pol Lirola in added time, under the very attentive eyes of Olivier Létang and Medhi Benatia. The referee left the pitch to the dismay of the Marseille public.
There was electricity in the air at the Vélodrome this Saturday. If Marseillais and Lille left each other back to back after a frustrating meeting for both. But the last minutes were stunning. After Bafodé Diakité’s equalizer (87th), OM believed they had obtained a penalty for a stroller on Jonathan Rowe.
Tempers heated up on the benches, particularly between Bruno Genesio and Jacques Abardonado. The president of Losc Olivier Létang and the sports director of OM Mehdi Benatia took to the field.

Rain of boxes
On the pitch, referee Willy Delajod distributed the cards: yellows for André Gomes and Benjamin André (for protest) but above all a red for Pol Lirola, author of a very dangerous tackle on the Portuguese midfielder’s shin. Furious, Roberto De Zerbi pulled the pin and did not escape his rusk.
The match ended after six minutes of added time, referee Willy Delajod was evacuated under protection, accompanied by the Vélodrome bronca, visibly annoyed by the decisions taken this Saturday. With this draw, Marseille misses the opportunity to put pressure on PSG, who host Lyon on Sunday evening. OM remain four points from the top of the standings, while Lille remains 4th, under threat from Lens and OL.
