Harit is magic
He had not started in Ligue 1 since January 7 against Bordeaux.
This Sunday evening against Brest (1-4), Amine Harit knew how to perfectly animate the Marseille game.
He is the penultimate pass on the goal of Gerson (3rd).
At the start of the game, the Moroccan midfielder is OM's most prominent player.
He gets a good free kick from 25 meters in the 13th minute.
Harit more discreet at the end of the first period before being decisive twice.
The Marseille number 7 hits the corner perfectly for the head of Milik (63rd) and allows his people to make the break.
A few minutes later, he appeared perfectly like a fox from the surfaces to take back a shot badly repelled by Marco Bizot and allow his team to lead 3-0 (71st).
This goal rewards his excellent game.

Milik still decisive
The Marseille striker in a good evening.
From the 3rd minute of play, he occupies two Brest defenders before perfectly shifting Gerson, who concludes the action.
An assist then a goal for Arkadiusz Milik.
Shortly after the hour mark (62nd), he took a corner perfectly at the near post to deceive Marco Bizot and allow OM - in a weak time - to make the break.
The Pole was also not stingy during defensive withdrawals.
Very mobile on the front of the attack, Arek Milik has often dezoned on the sides, freeing up the axis for his teammates.
He was also close to scoring a goal from a very well-shot free kick in the first period (13th).

A Marseille collective found
This is perhaps the biggest paradox of this evening.
OM played well with their usual substitutes.
It must be said that with players in their positions, it's immediately easier... Marseille only had 53% possession of the ball but knew how to create many chances (13 shots) and be precise and realistic (four goals on seven shots on target).
Despite the absence of Dimitri Payet, package, the Marseille midfielder shone this Sunday evening, like a Gerson.
Placed higher on the left side, he is scorer on the first goal (3rd) and at the origin of the third (71st).
Sometimes sentinel, sometimes central defender, Boubacar Kamara excelled in Brest.
78% of duels won and nine balls recovered (match record).
A well-oiled Olympique de Marseille who knew how to be realistic.

The Brestois are down
The Bretons had good game intentions but were too imprecise in the last passes.
Michel Der Zakarian's players full of desire, only they did not frame once in three attempts in the first period.
A great opportunity missed by Youcef Belaïli (28th), still the most prominent Brest player.
In the second period, it is only slightly better.
The head of Martin Satriano too weak to worry Pau Lopez (47th).
Despite good intentions, it will be necessary to wait for added time to see the second shot on target of the game.
On a free kick well taken by Romain Del Castillo, Irvin Cardona appears at the near post to deceive the Marseille defense.
Only eight strikes in total, a still worrying finding when four attackers are lined up from the start.

Bizot uninspired
This season, the Dutch goalkeeper alternates high-flying performances and air pockets.
It was a day without for Marco Bizot today.
The Brest goalkeeper easily caught behind when Gerson's goal (3rd), before being logically beaten by the perfectly placed header from Arek Milik (63rd).
On the other hand, he is largely guilty on the last two goals.
The goalkeeper repelled Gerson's shot in the middle and Amine Harit took advantage (71') to score OM's third goal.
On the last Olympian goal, Marco Bizot completely holes himself and misses his exit far from his cages before being dribbled by Cergiz Under.
The Marseille winger only has to push the ball into the back of the net (90+2).
The Dutch goalkeeper ends this meeting with more goals conceded (4) than
A central defense taken from behind
It was too easy in the axis for the Marseillais on the lawn of the Stade Francis-Le Blé.
A first foray from Gerson after three minutes to open the scoring.
The central defenders then look at Marseille's third goal, late in scoring on Amine Harit.
Finally, Lilian Brassier and Denys Bain also played badly on OM's last goal.
They don't cover the offside and then let Cergiz Under get the ball back as they please.
A Marco Bizot little inspired but not helped either by his central defense.
It was a bit like the Bermuda triangle in Brittany.
