Crazy evening at the Velodrome.
At the end of the 27th day of Ligue 1, OM conceded a spectacular draw against Strasbourg (2-2).
A frustrating parity score for the Marseille club, taken up at the very end of the match.
But not frankly illogical given the nature of the debates.
This unbalanced poster has also taken an unexpected turn.
Abused by dominating Strasbourg in the duels and skilful in front, the Marseillais conceded big chances and showed nothing good in the game. Very rough, and feverish behind.
Like Balerdi, sent off before the half-hour mark for a foul on Diallo who could go on goal (29th).
Reduced to ten, the Marseillais returned to the locker room with an almost miraculous 0-0, after a final Alsatian opportunity wasted by Gameiro with a header (38th).
Racing's twelfth attempt in forty-five minutes, against only one for OM (18th).
Aholou frustrates OM
Off-topic in the first period, Marseille returned from the locker room in other arrangements.
A burst immediately paying off.
Mbemba, in great difficulty behind, caught up well by opening the scoring opportunistically, after following a free kick badly repelled by Sels (1-0, 49th).
Led, Strasbourg has long accused the blow.
The Alsatians, much more laborious despite their numerical superiority, began to foil in turn and let the Phocaeans double the bet, on a penalty obtained and converted by Sanchez (2-0, 76th).
With the break in hand, OM headed straight for a precious success in the fight for second place.
But during a completely crazy end to the match, Igor Tudor's men cracked and let their advantage slip away, conceding two goals from Aholou in quick succession (2-1, 88th / 2-2, 89th).
An air gap of 84 seconds fatal to the Marseillais, still second, but only two points behind Lens.
