Under, the touch of madness in a sometimes sleepy team

He is a pleasant player to watch, who is reborn this season in Ligue 1. On his right side, the Turk always brings fire on the opposing defenses, and each of his catches of bullets seem dangerous. Despite several missed opportunities, he is the only scorer of this historic evening for the people of Marseille. He takes advantage of Payet's call to rush into the back of the Bordeaux defense and punish Costil. His magnificent “coat rack” control in the 57th minute perfectly illustrates all the ease that this player with the ball at the foot, a feast for the eyes.

Saliba boss size

If OM have the best defense in Ligue 1 this season, it is in part thanks to the superb performances of William Saliba, who shone again this Friday.

The 20-year-old central defender is a real rock, surprising calm and serenity, sometimes bordering on nonchalance.

Always present to counter a strike or anticipate a departure behind his back, the 20-year-old central defender will be sorely missed by OM at the end of the season, since his loan will end next June.

FLOPS

Benoît Costil, at fault on the only goal of the game

Despite a good second half, the Girondins captain is at the origin of the historic defeat (1-0) of his people this evening. At 34 years old and 382 matches in Ligue 1, the leader of the Bordeaux group made a mistake unworthy of his status. If he gave voice on the field (easier to realize thanks to the camera), his ball on his clearance in the 37th minute leads to the first and only Marseille goal, which the Bordelais have never seen. readings.

Bordeaux in the hard

17 players absent, a game behind closed doors and 17th in Ligue 1, nothing is going well in Bordeaux.

While the Girondins are victims of an internal health disaster (17 positive cases of Covid-19), the club still had to play tonight's meeting.

By calling on players from young teams to compose a group for this Friday night's match, the club presented itself with a weakened team, both numerically and morally.

This defeat is the 3rd in a row (all competitions) for a club which is still flirting with the red zone.
