Marseille couldn’t handle the bottom team and were deflated

Date:

Marseille is at its lowest point since the arrival of the Roberto de Zerbi. An ambitious transfer market and an outstanding start to the season led to the belief that Olympique, after a year to forget in which they failed to qualify for European competitions, were in a position to stand up to PSG.

But the previous day, Marseille suffered its first defeat in Strasbourg (1-0) and now succumbed to a disappointing draw at the Vélodrome (1-1) against the lower Angers, which still knew no victory in his seven games in the French championship. Not only will De Zerbi’s side temporarily fail to catch PSG and Monaco, who are tied at the top, but Reims will overtake them in third place if they beat Montpellier at home on Sunday.

Two reds in four minutes

The match played in a Vélodrome with two sectors of its stands closed due to penalties was marked by two expulsions, one for each side, in the first half. The Wraths caught up in the 26th minute for a direct red card to Lilian Rao-Lisoa. The full-back initially received a yellow card, but the referee changed it after his foul was reviewed by VAR. Ulysses Garcia.

But Marseille’s numerical sale didn’t last longStriker Neal Maupay, on loan from Everton, received two yellow cardss in just three minutes (27′ and 30′) and also went to the locker room early.

Two goals in three minutes

It remained 0-0 until after the break, when the English striker Jonathan Rowe brought on by De Zerbi at half-time, shot through a jungle of legs and surprised goalkeeper Yahia Fofana, who was stopped because he couldn’t see the ball (51′).

The joy was short-lived for Marseille after just three minutes Farid El Melali equalized with a great free-kick which was his first goal of the season.

Marseille lamented the missed chances against the only Ligue 1 team to remain winless and also protested the failure to award a penalty for a handball inside the area and also VAR disallowed a goal by Michael Murillo by an earlier hand.

In its part, Mason Greenwood was held scoreless for the fourth straight day after his massive debut with five goals in the first three games.
