Big mess between Alvaro Gonzalez and Memphis Depay during Olympico

It is not because this Olympico took place behind closed doors that the two teams necessarily remained calm on the pitch, on the contrary.

An altercation between the Marseillais Alvaro Gonzalez and the Lyonnais Memphis Depay marked the end of this OM-OL which ended in a 1-1 draw at the end of the 27th day of Ligue 1 this Sunday.

The confusion occurred in the 80th minute, when each of the two teams had already scored their goal.

While the two players in question are in a duel to get the ball in the midfield, the Rhone striker charges the Marseille defender with his arm, causing him to fall to the ground.

A gesture that the former Villarreal player did not appreciate.

Alvaro quickly recovered to face the captain of Les Gones, head to head.

The Marseillais did not hesitate to grab the face of his opponent with his hand.

It took the intervention of the referee of the meeting, Benoît Millot to separate the two protagonists, in full explanation of what had just happened. 

A yellow card distributed to both players 

Each of the two has also received a yellow card for this "settling of scores".

A visibly insufficient warning since the two players continued to exchange not very tender words, a few meters apart this time.

This nervousness is linked to the background on the field throughout the meeting where they played several duels.

Memphis Depay was particularly to refer to one of them intervened a few minutes earlier in the second act.

The expulsion of midfielder Lucas Paqueta on a second yellow (71st) did not calm the players since Dimitri Payet and Thiago Mendes also settled their conflict with a "head to head".

With a similar outcome, that is to say a yellow card distributed to both players.

From an accounting point of view, this sharing of points at the end of this Olympico does not help Lyon, which loses two points in its race for the title.

Jean-Michel Aulas' club is in third position, behind Lille and PSG while the Phocéens remain in seventh place in the championship.
