The emotion was there in the 7th minute of added time of the match on the second day of the Youth League between OM and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Led (1-2) by the Germans and reduced to ten after the expulsion of Raimane Daou (68th), the young kids snatched the equalizer with a whim from… their own goalkeeper, the Belgian Jelle Van Neck, 18 years old, arrived in Marseille this summer.
Upon receiving a corner kick from the right side, Van Neck, forgotten in the marking, rose quietly in the middle of the area to beat his German counterpart (2-2).
This is the first point in competition reported by young Marseille shooters.
Last week, Olympique de Marseille lost heavily in London against Tottenham (0-3).
This almost miraculous point, however, does not allow Marseille to take off from the last place in their group.
Because at the same time, Tottenham lost to Sporting Portugal (0-2).
Oh Van Neck's goal after added time for OM's equalizer against Frankfurt in the Youth League!
