The tone is set.
After ten days of international break, Marseille did not miss its return to the league.
While they must chain 11 matches in all competitions by November 13 and the cut due to the World Cup in Qatar (from November 18 to December 20), Igor Tudor's players won in Angers this Friday (3-0).
This victory is a good omen before hosting Sporting Portugal on Tuesday in the Champions League.
By the way, it allows them to take the lead in the championship with a point ahead of PSG, which hosts Nice this Saturday.
What you must remember
Deprived of a bench due to suspension, Igor Tudor gave way to Hari Vukas, his deputy.
This change did not disturb the Phocaeans too much in the face of Angevin desires.
The first alert comes with a strike from Nabil Bentaleb which ends its way on the right post of Lopez (18th).
A personal achievement by Jonathan Clauss unblocks the situation.
Served by Suarez, the former Lensois owes nothing to anyone to open the scoring.
After eliminating Valéry, he strikes from the left and deceives Fofana with the help of the post (0-1, 35th).
This goal frees the Marseillais who miss the knockout on an off target header from Suarez (39th).
Angers replied with a shot from Boufal controlled by Lopez (40th).
As soon as the restart, OM took cover on a good serve from Clauss for Suarez (0-2, 50th).
And it's not over, thanks to a new offering from Clauss,
Gerson ensures Marseille success (0-3, 59th).
“This is a very good result.
It validates our convincing start to the season, analyzes the French international Mattéo Guendouzi.
After the first twenty minutes which were a bit tricky, we were able to put on the necessary intensity”.
Words corroborated by Jordan Veretout.
“We scored at the right times and quickly killed the game in the second half.
Then we managed.
