2020-02-08T19:10:11.576Z


The new decisive goal of Payet, the tranquility of Kamara, but also the lackluster performance of Germain: find the Tops and Flops of this meeting between Marseille and Toulouse (1-0).

Payet has struck again
Week after week, Dimitri Payet does not falter . The Reunionese still unlocked an uncertain part of a master stroke. As in Saint-Etienne last Wednesday (0-2), the OM leader opened the scoring with a coiled strike that hit the target (51st). A goal that allowed his team to then manage their efforts in this busy schedule. Still precise with the pass, the former Stéphanois could even have scored the double on a missed duel against Reynet at the end of the game.

Kamara, already essential
The OM Minot already knows how to make itself indispensable in this Marseille collective. Aligned for several matches at the sentry post, he still made a big performance by touching the most balls in this part (103), showing himself applied to the raise, but also being interesting to cut the many Toulouse counter with steps less than 9 tackles and 6 balls recovered. He did find his place in this collective.

Mandanda, a new decisive parade
Asked at the start of the game during the good Toulouse period, Steve Mandanda has long been unemployed, Toulouse having died between half an hour of play and the last quarter of an hour. It is time for the captain of Marseille to sign a decisive parade on a strike from Leya Iseka promised to go to the bottom. Vigilant, well on his supports, the French goalkeeper took off perfectly to regrow.

Amavi, now adopted by the Vélodrome
He only had to see the ovation from the public to celebrate, before this match, his 100th with OM to see that everything had changed for him. Whistled, even conspired before, Jordan Amavi is now applauded. And we can understand it given its benefits of the moment. Still precious in defense against the TFC, he cleared important balloons on the numerous opposing centers at the end of the game.

Germain continues to question
Aligned at the forefront of the attack in place of injured Benedetto, Valère Germain was still ghostly in this match . Affecting only 22 balls, the attacker won only 29% of his duels and especially missed many controls and assists. Worse, he did not attempt any shots against the TFC. The number 28 of OM has not scored in Ligue 1 since September.

Toulouse can have regrets
The red lantern tried to show that its place was not deserved. And we thought that the TFC was going to do a blow at the Vélodrome. Because the first half hour saw a Toulouse team conquering and several times dangerous against. Only, symbol of a lack of confidence, the visitors missed a lot of opportunities. And ended up diving physically. If they got up in the last quarter of an hour, thanks to the contribution of young Adil and Taoui, it was too late.
