Leg, hero of the evening
You had to see his demonstrative joy on his goal to measure the importance.
Samuel Gigot was the author of the only goal of this match and will probably remember it for a long time as it is important for his team.
On a corner from Veretout, the Marseille defender sprung well into the back of Dembélé, responsible for marking, to come and adjust Lopes with a header (44th).
Otherwise solid, it came out stunned after a shock.
Symbol of his total involvement.
Rongier-Veretout, hard-working duo
We expected to see Guendouzi evolve lower in the middle but in the end, Igor Tudor chose to let the Rongier-Veretout duo work on recovery.
And he was probably right given the performance of the two men.
The two former Nantes players have indeed done a lot of work, covering a lot of ground in the midfield.
Recovering a lot of good balls, they allowed OM to extinguish the opposing midfielder.
The best management of OM in the second half
If OM did not score in the second half, as is now often the case lately, they did not concede a goal either, as had become an annoying habit.
Defending quite low, the Phocaeans did not break thanks to a rearguard which remained concentrated from start to finish, Pau Lopez having only been worried on a strike from Toko Ekambi in the middle of the second period.
FLOPS
Lyon did not exist
Laurent Blanc had apparently brought more serenity to the ranks of OL but his work will still be long to remobilize his troops.
Because his team appeared very harmless throughout the meeting.
Choosing to line up a 4-4-2 at the start, he changed his plans after the break, with no more results.
His men lacked creativity and audacity and proved too tender in the duels to hope for better on the lawn of the Vélodrome.
Caqueret-Lepenant, youth did not work
They are announced promising but they still lack the job.
Maxence Caqueret and Johann Lepenant have swallowed the kilometers but have a register far too singular to hold the middle of OL.
The two men thus multiplied the back passes and never advanced the game. This isolated the Lacazette-Dembélé duo well at first.
Ghostly Dembele and Aouar
Replaced at the break, Moussa Dembélé and Houssem Aouar did not really satisfy Laurent Blanc.
And for good reason.
The first experienced some technical waste which prevented his team from being able to come back together.
As for the second, he was in charge of animating the game but often missed his shifts or made the wrong choices.
Two men with a serious loss of confidence.
