This is called a feeling of deja vu.
19th minute of this return match between Sporting and OM, Amine Harit is cut in the penalty area by a Ricardo Esgaio who has just been warned.
Second logical yellow, and therefore red: in addition to the penalty, OM will therefore, as on the first leg, play more than one period at 11 against 10.
3 - Sporting have collected 3 red cards against Marseille in the Champions League this season, no team has ever had more against the same opponent in a Champions League season.
Scuttling.

In one week, the Lisboans of Sporting will therefore have made many gifts to OM.
Guendouzi is responsible for transforming the sentence
(0-1, 20th)
.
Harit, with a new brilliant call in depth, even quickly offered Alexis Sanchez the goal of the break, validated by the video
(0-2, 30th)
.
The Moroccan, already a scorer and passer in the first leg (4-1), confirms his good return to form.
A nightmare for Sporting
Ultra-dominant in the first period against Lisbon erased (38% possession, 1 single shot), the Olympians mastered their subject.
A new opportunity signed Harit, after a good one-two with Clauss (55th) marked the start of the second act, before Sporting found themselves… at 9, when Pedro Gonçalves managed the feat of taking two yellow cards in a few seconds: one for a fault, the other for a dispute.
Sporting will finish at 9 (for now 😬)!
New expulsion following this late fault! #SCPOM |

In a stadium where we hear more Marseille supporters, as those of Sporting desert the stands, OM want to widen the gap in a match that turns into attack defense, with the Portuguese prostrate in front of their surface.
Rongier (65th), Harit (69th), Payet (73rd) or even Ünder (83rd) try it, but the score remains there.
Ideal before Paris
After years of scarcity, Marseille will be content with it.
For the first time in more than ten years (2011-12), the Phocaeans have a second success in a row in the Champions League.
In the other match of the group, Tottenham's victory against Eintracht Frankfurt (3-1) leaves the Marseillais in second place in the standings, level on points with their executioners of the evening but favored on special goal difference. .
Worried by a surprise defeat against Ajaccio last weekend (1-2), the Phocaeans are reassured.
They can seriously hope to snatch this qualification in the eighth and are ideally preparing for the Classic, Sunday evening against PSG at the Parc des Princes.
Next European meeting on October 26, in Frankfurt.
