Payet made everyone agree
It all started with the unfortunate injury of Amine Harit on the hour mark (see flops).
Very marked, Dimitri Payet had to come into play and took time to enter his match.
But true to himself, the Reunionese carried his team at the end of the game.
Author of a discount for Veretout, who went to score the second goal for Marseille, the number 10 of OM then provoked a free kick, then shot it and deposited it on the head of Kolasinac, a saving scorer.
His right foot remains as precise as ever and he greatly helped his team to win in Monaco.
Pau Lopez, welcome parades
Marseille suffered a lot in the second half and can thank a man: Pau Lopez.
When his team was pushed around, he never flinched.
Author of 5 saves, the Spanish goalkeeper was important in calming the opposing pressure and again helped his team to resist in weak times.
Kolasinac, from outcast to hero
Criticized for his failure against Tottenham which could have offered qualification for the Champions League to OM, Sead Kolasinac saw his destiny change in one evening.
Entering the game ten minutes from the end, the former Arsenal was the hero of Marseille by extending the head of this famous free kick in the 98th minute.
You only had to see his joy to go and commune with his supporters to measure the importance of this goal for him and his team.
FLOPS
Monaco lost track
The ASM may wonder how it let slip these three points to Louis II.
After a sluggish first act, the Monegasques had indeed reversed the situation after the break by offering a better quality game.
But the Rock club lost the thread in the wake of Ben Yedder's injury exit (78th).
With a last quarter of an hour which allowed OM to come to their senses and physically dominate the locals who were out of breath.
Philippe Clément and his flock will pass a difficult truce.
Balerdi, doubly at fault
The Marseille defender is not the most serene this season.
Once again often overtaken in the duels and struggling to contain the lively ASM attackers, Leonardo Balerdi again made a mistake by first committing a foul on Diatta in the area leading to a penalty, then leaving spin Volland challenge Pau Lopez and score the 2nd Monegasque goal.
A match still to forget for the OM defender, even if his team finally won.
Harit, the tile
It is the strong image of this match which undoubtedly caused some confusion in the minds of the twenty-two players for a few minutes.
In the 58th minute, Amine Harit finds himself in the fight with Axel Disasi and is injured.
We think of a simple contact except that the player grimaces, touches his knee and ends up asking for the trainers.
To see his partners, as well as the Monegasques worrying, one can imagine a serious injury which should unfortunately make him miss the next World Cup with Morocco.
