TOPS
Indispensable Payet
Disappointing against Bordeaux Sunday (0-0), Dimitri Payet raised his tone on Wednesday. Saint-Etienne paid dearly for it (OM victory, 2-0). The Reunionese ideally launched his own, opening the score at the start of the match. And how ! After having made a festival in front of M'Vila, the n ° 10 of OM surprised Ruffier by striking from a closed angle. Also present on the action of the second goal, a good pass to Sanson.
Intractable Gonzalez
Solid if not brilliant, OM was able to build on a new successful performance by Alvaro Gonzalez. The Spanish defender, always well placed and aggressive, had no trouble containing the strikers from Stéphane. With Caleta-Car, it has formed a formidable central hinge for several weeks.

FLOPS
Cabaye overtaken then injured
Author of a very laborious season, Yohan Cabaye still suffered. The French international, associated with an equally insufficient M'Vila, was no match. Disappointing in the recovery and in the use of the ball, like his rarely precise set kicks. A bad evening for the former Lille, who left the break after injury.
Benedetto can't do it anymore
The matches follow each other and look alike for Dario Benedetto. Maintained at the forefront of the Marseille attack despite its current misform, the Argentinian again disappointed. Isolated, he was easily muzzled by the Stéphane defense and did not get the slightest opportunity. The former Boca Juniors player, replaced by Germain at the end of the match, is still chasing his first goal in 2020.
Historical poster, soporific match
The 23rd day of Ligue 1 ended with a match to quickly forget. Spoiled by incidents outside the stadium and a delayed kickoff of fifteen minutes, the meeting saw OM win without ever forcing. Quickly ahead of the bulletin board, the Phoenicians immediately contented themselves with managing their advantage, facing Stéphanois who were far too messy and harmless to the end. The Cauldron never had the opportunity to ignite and was bored firm in front of such a sad spectacle.
