Four days after their victory against PSG at the Parc des Princes, Olympique de Marseille stumbled at home this Thursday against Saint-Etien


“Thank you for honoring our colors and defiling theirs.

Deprived of a stadium, OM supporters took the time to install several banners in the corners, four days after the victory against PSG at the Parc des Princes.

But if they had been at the Vélodrome this Thursday evening, the Marseille fadas would no doubt have whistled a lot.

A sad OM lost to Saint-Etienne (0-2), this Thursday, during a late match of the first day of Ligue 1. ASSE takes the lead in the championship.

The player: Hamouma scorer on his first opportunity

Did the silence of the Velodrome put them to sleep?

The Marseillais started their match on a false pace.

The Stéphanois surprised them from the start, with a goal on an express attack, from the 6th minute of the match.

Yvann Maçon kicked off the left side, overwhelmed Hiroki Sakai and sent an excellent cross.

Romain Hamouma edged Duje Caleta-Car on the penalty spot to adjust Steve Mandanda with a perfect recovery from the left.

The first opportunity was the right one for Hamouma (6th).

Denis Bouanga doubled the lead in the 74th, after a nice counter-attack initiated by Arnaud Nordin.

The fact of the match: the Marseillais very clumsy

Leonardo Balerdi's header, from a corner, went over (41st).

The strike-tackle from Marley Aké, alone at six meters, hit the crossbar (53rd).

Morgan Sanson, isolated from the penalty spot, missed his left shot, on a center set back perfectly from Dimitri Payet (55th).

And Florian Thauvin failed to play surface fox and push her into Jessy Moulin's goal.

In short, the Marseillais were extremely imprecise.

Only Florian Thauvin scored two free kicks (77th and 89th), both repulsed by Jessy Moulin.

The numbers: a first in 41 years

The last time Saint-Etienne beat Marseille at the Vélodrome, the Greens' scorers were named Michel Platini, Johnny Rep and Dominique Rocheteau.

OM had not lost against ASSE at the Vélodrome since August 10, 1979 (3-5).

The series was dear to the heart of the Ultras of OM, for whom Saint-Etienne is the historical rival, more than Paris, Bordeaux or Lyon.

Covid requires, there were only a thousand supporters this Thursday, all in the presidential platform.

It didn't stop them from growling.
