OM settled for a goalless draw against Lille this Saturday during the 11th day of L1.
For the 27e consecutive time, the VĂ©lodrome welcomed its OM to a sold-out crowd this Saturday, on behalf of the 11e day of Ligue 1. The Olympico aborted last Sunday, it was with an unprecedented freshness this season that the Marseillais were able to debate with their Lille counterparts. Two strong assets which did not allow Gattuso’s men to make the difference.

Weighed down by three defeats in their last four outings in the league, the Olympians could do no better than collect a point against the Mastiffs who are well in place and credited, on the contrary, with 10 points out of 12 possible over the past four games. It must be said that the opportunities were rare for the Phocaeans, who only had one opportunity harvested by Harit alone at close range in front of the opposing goal to feed regrets this evening (45e).
Lopez’s scare
The Northerners will regret the bar sounded by Yazici at the start of the match after a blunder by Lopez (15e), or the parade of the latter on a mule strike signed Angel Gomes (80e). The sharing of points ultimately remains sadly logical for an OM who are definitely struggling to make the decision this season. After 10 matches played, the Ciel et Blanc only have 13 points on the clock, for an eighth position in the standings well below the stated objective. Six lengths behind a Losc certainly credited with one more match but fourth in the elite for his part.
