We will not go so far as to repeat certain sentences from Jacques Villeret in Le Dîner de Cons, to make fun of Olympique de Marseille after their defeat against Auxerre. But the Phocéens did everything necessary to receive taunts and provoke the anger of their supporters, by losing against AJA (1-3) this Friday at the opening of the 11th day of Ligue 1.
For the second time in a row, Roberto De Zerbi’s OM found a way to find themselves trailing 3-0 at halftime in their stadium. And this time it wasn’t the leader, the mighty Paris Saint-Germain, and there was no early red card to serve as a mitigating circumstance. It was on a regular basis that the AJA, attractively promoted this season, was able to have fun at the Vélodrome.
The first goal arrived on a big mistake from Lilian Brassier, who missed a clearance from the opposing goalkeeper, leaving Lassine Sinayoko to open the scoring (0-1, 10th). The next two achievements, on the other hand, came on nice counterattacks concluded by Gaëtan Perrin (0-2, 43rd) and Hamed Traoré (0-3, 45th). De Zerbi tried to reverse the course of the match by changing three players at the break, but OM did not react much.
Auxerre is serious
We were close to 4-0 with Traoré’s post, and it took a hand from Akpa in the area for the Phocéens to reduce the gap on a penalty from Mason Greenwood (1-3, 65th). What’s next? A 3-2 ball for Elye Wahi, who came up against Donovan Léon (78th), and that’s about it.
On arrival, a week after the victory against Nantes (1-2), OM very quickly fell back into their ways and received their third slap of the season at the Vélodrome, after those received against Angers and Paris. OM could find themselves 9 points behind PSG this weekend while this great team from Auxerre temporarily takes 6th place. Remember that AJA remained on a 4-0 against Rennes, a 2-2 in Lyon, and another success against Reims. It’s serious.
