Defeated respectively by PSG (4-1) and Le Havre (1-2), Monaco and Lille thus left a boulevard to an OM which this Sunday evening, at the end of the 21e Ligue 1 lifting, did not give its chance to dig the gap to consolidate its position as the first runner of the Parisian leader.

On the lawn of a SCO who went to tear a point from the velodrome (1-1), the Marseillais this time did not fail. If they have long missed the mark near the opposing surface, the men of Roberto de Zerbi ended up blowing up the Angevin lock, twice in the space of five minutes, by Rabiot (69e) and Maupay (74e).

Gouiri and Bennacer already in tone

To not spoil anything on the Marseille side, Gouiri split on this occasion of two assists, melting perfectly in the collective Olympian mold. And Bennacer, holder this evening in Raymond-Kopa, has already appeared very legs, ratifying many balls in the first period to secure and fluidify the game of visitors.

Thanks to this 13e Victory in 21 championship acts, OM returns 10 lengths from Paris but also repels Nice and Monaco at six points – Lille at eight. Angers on its side points in 13e Position, with five margin units vis-à-vis the barragist.
