Thanks to a header from Valère Germain, Marseille snatched a draw in the 85th minute against Losc this Sunday at the end of the 4th day.


Marseille can consider itself happy.

At the end of the 4th day of Ligue 1, OM (7th), tossed by Lille, avoided a second defeat in a row by snatching a draw (1-1) thanks to Valère Germain, a luxury replacement.

The northern club (5th) has enough to bite its fingers.

What you must remember

After the defeat (0-2), conceded last Thursday against Saint-Etienne, OM had to react for their second match of the week at the Vélodrome.

For 45 minutes, however, it is Lille who are the most incisive.

Returning from the locker room, Christophe Galtier's men conclude with a round-robin run with the Brazilian Araujo at the conclusion (0-1, 47th).

Despite a strike from Rongier on the post (69th), the men of Villas-Boas find it difficult to react.

Before pushing a sigh of relief at the 85th.

The player: Valère Germain

If they had been present in the stands of the Vélodrome, the Marseille supporters would undoubtedly have sung to the glory of their striker.

Entered into play in the 71st minute instead of Thauvin, transparent, Valère Germain equalizes with a header on a corner taken by Sanson.

His first goal of the season allows his team to avoid a second setback.

The number: 3

Like the number of decisive saves by Steve Mandanda in Marseille goals.

Just before the break, the captain pushes back Celik's tense strike (42nd) with his fist.

The one who extended his contract with his club this summer until 2024, is then illustrated in the same way on a missile from Araujo (62nd).

He then saves his team once again on a header from André (75th).

Its multiple stops prevent OM from losing against Lille for the third time only in their last 14 confrontations.

The reaction

“It's obviously a good draw because we miraculously come back to the game.

We were very average in the game. It's up to us to do better next Saturday against Metz.
