Olympique de Marseille and Toulouse FC cannot decide between themselves. For this meeting of the 5th day of Ligue 1 at the Stade Vélodrome, Olympiens and Toulouse failed to make the other flinch and parted with a goalless draw (0-0).

A result which does not really suit Marcelino’s players since a success could have placed them at the top of Ligue 1 alongside AS Monaco. The next day, OM will travel to Paris Saint-Germain for a classic that promises to be electric.
For Toulouse, this point in the draw is a satisfaction. The winner of the 2023 Coupe de France moves up to 12th place with a total of 6 points on the clock.
A Marseille team lacking imagination
In front of its supporters, Olympique de Marseille never really succeeded in winning the match against the team of Carles Martinez Novell. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s partners generally dominated the game, but often lacked technical accuracy and precision in the opponent’s final meters.
We had to wait for the entries of Iliman Ndiaye, Amine Harit or even Geoffrey Kondogbia in the second period to see sharp passing circuits and speed in transmissions. In addition, the Olympians were hampered by the tactical setup of the Téfécé players who played in a classic 4-4-2.
Bold and disciplined Toulouse residents
Great performance from Guillaume Restes’ teammates. The people of Toulouse could even have hoped for better if the efficiency had been there. THE Tef did not always play his offensive shots well, especially at the end of the match in situations where the players were in numerical superiority.
The game plan put in place by Carles Martinez Novell was a success. His men followed their coach’s playing instructions to the letter. A performance which will give confidence to the Toulouse residents in view of the club’s next events, starting with the Europa League meeting against the Belgian club Royale Union SG this Thursday.
