A double confrontation with Sporting Portugal and everything is better for Olympique de Marseille in the Champions League.
A week after clearly winning at the Vélodrome (4-1), the Phocaeans confirmed Wednesday evening in Lisbon by winning a new success (0-2).
Well helped to achieve this by a new early expulsion on the Lisbon side.
From the 19th minute, Ricardo Esgaio received a second warning, synonymous with a red card and… penalty for OM, converted by Matteo Guendouzi (0-1).
Ten minutes later, Alexis Sanchez doubled the lead (0-2).
The second period, it changed nothing, except that the local team played half an hour at 9 after the expulsion of Goncalves.
In the standings, OM moved up to 2nd place, one point behind Tottenham, winner of Eintracht Frankfurt (3-2).
