Sanchez still as precious
Long uncertain after his exit on injury in Lens, Alexis Sanchez was finally fit to play this match against Sco. And the Chilean once again guided OM. By his pressing on the defense, and especially his efficiency. Author of the equalizing goal, popping up in front of Bernardoni a few minutes after the opening of the Angevin score, the 34-year-old then turned into a decisive passer on Payet's goal at the beginning of the second half. Irreproachable.
Payet, Tudor's right choice
Author of a good entry in Lens, Dimitri Payet convinced Igor Tudor to start this Sunday. Eagerly awaited, the Reunionese shone at the beginning of the match. Omnipresent in the game, he created two huge chances after only six minutes of play. More in trouble at the end of the first half, the Marseille captain came back well after the break and was responsible for giving the advantage to his own, with a powerful strike at the second post. A great overall performance, accompanied by a huge ovation from the Velodrome at its exit after the hour of play.
FLOPS
Mendy suffered in the middle
Associated with Bentaleb in front of the Angevin defence, Batista Mendy suffered from the comparison with his counterpart. The number of 2 of the Sco struggled but did not weigh enough to the recovery. Author of several losses of dangerous balls, like his intercepted pass at the origin of the action poorly concluded by Vitinha at the end of the match. He has also given up his place in the wake of this ultimate mistake.
Tavares' Bad Entrance
Nuno Tavares can't do it anymore. Left on the bench at kick-off after his disappointing performance against Lens, the Portuguese piston replaced Clauss during the second half. And as often since the post-World Cup, the player on loan from Arsenal disappointed, desperately chaining ball losses and bad choices. Warned for a deliberate foul at the end of the match. His season had started perfectly, but Tavares quickly fell into line. Unless surprised, his journey on the Canebière will end in three weeks.
