OM won in Rennes this Saturday on the 17th day of Ligue 1 (1-2) with real consequences in the rankings.
OM have had a really lucky spell this season, with their third goal in 17 days coming from the penalty spot in Rennes, a feat achieved against Brest and Lyon earlier for Marseille’s three successes.
The Marseilles finally made the difference today at Rojon Park (1-2)..
If Rennes opened the scoring well in this part, Kalimendo made up for his missed penalty after 10 minutes (1-0, 43).e) – the Olympians were able to show themselves as a shocker, very quickly revived by Greenwood at the end of the school action (1-1, 45).e). There was then reward for an attacking effort against the Bretons encamped behind them after returning from the dressing room, with Rabiot heading home a cross from the elusive Greenwood (1-2, 49).e).
Disturbing VAR
Less polished in their attempts later, the Foca could have increased the lead from a penalty which was initially whistled for a handball in the area at the end of the match, but Mr Kherraj changed his mind after a VAR appeal. the same video aid that condemned Murillo’s hand in the penalty awarded to Kalimundo in the first leg.
It doesn’t matter for OM, who won draws in Monaco and Lille against Nantes (2-2) and Auxerre (0-0) to consolidate their second place overall, four lengths behind leaders PSG, who close on Sunday this 17e L1 promotion to host St Etienne at Parc des Princes ASM are now on five points and Losque on seven, with Nice in fourth place, six lengths behind Marseille.
