Ligue 1: two goals conceded, one expelled, OM ended badly against Bordeaux (2-2)

Everything was gathered for a big party this Sunday evening at the Vélodrome stadium: nearly 50,000 supporters, a great former, Jean-Pierre Papin (who was celebrating the 30th anniversary of his 1991 Golden Ball) to kick off .

And goals ...

Unfortunately for the people of Marseille, their team died out when they were leading 2-0 at the break and let the Bordelais come back only applied in the second period.

Without finding the resources to snatch victory, as she sometimes knows so well.

However, a fear stirred the Vélodrome after five minutes when, in a scene evoking the sad episode of the Danish Christian Eriksen at the Euro, the Bordelais Samuel Kalu, was the victim of a malaise, before leaving the lawn on his own two feet , presumably victim of vagal discomfort.

With two goals for two shots on target, the first period ended to the advantage of OM.

After a dull first half hour, a wind of novelty suddenly grew on Marseille, three recruits bringing the first Marseille goal.

De La Fuente escaped on the left side, served Gerson in depth, who centered in withdrawal right on Under, for the 2nd goal of the Turkish striker, already a scorer in Montpellier last week (1-0, 34th).

More traditional then, Payet reviewed laterally the Gironde defense, then placed a strike with the right foot between Mexer and Koscielny, flush with the right post of Costil (2-0, 41st).

Pembélé signs its entrance

Mass seemed said for the players of Petkovic, harmless until then. But back after the break, the Olympians had obviously left their way to the locker room. For his first appearance in the navy, a goal from Timothée Pembélé, 18, the Parisian titi loaned to Bordeaux, in the form of a shot from the deflected right, revived the Girondins (2-1, 51st). Then, Oudin, with a recovery of the left foot, put the teams tied (2-2, 57th).

Despite the Marseille pressing at the end of the match, an opportunity from Benedetto, the 3-2 goal refused to Radonjic for an offside, the players of Sampaoli had to be satisfied with the draw. With two stupidly squandered points, OM Sampaoli misses the opportunity to settle in the top quartet, along with Angers, Clermont and PSG. And it will hardly be necessary to count on the largesse of Nice from Christophe Galtier next Sunday.
