OM has never lost this season in Ligue 1 after leading to the score. The statistic was confirmed Sunday evening at home against the Brest stadium. But if the players of Roberto de Zerbi dominated their opponents with a fairly heavy score (4-1), they did not fully control their subject in this last meeting of the 31st day of Ligue 1.
Eric Roy's training has long posed problems for Marseille defense. And the return to the competition of Leonardo Balerdi after almost a month of absence relieved the Olympians in some hot situations. Like the performance of his compatriot Geronimo Rulli.
The Argentinian goalkeeper notably saved the blue and white house on a resumption of Ajorc (75th), avoiding an uncertain end of meeting. OM then led 4-1 thanks to a hat-trick scored by Amine Gouiri.
Rome's air has done good
Author of the opening of the score of a cross strike (1-0, 8th), the former Stade Rennais had the velodrome of an elegant bicycle (45th) vacillated before improving the service of Adrien Rabiot. A goal validated by the Var (4-1, 63rd) for a possible offside position.
Mason Greenwood, without being brilliant, still scored (2-1, 37th), eight days after a double against Montpellier (5-1) and three weeks after a goal during the success against Toulouse (3-2). The internship of a few days carried out by OM in Rome has obviously borne fruit.
A Lille-Om to the name
Roberto de Zerbi set up a 4-3-3 4-3 on Sunday, instead of the usual 3-4-2-1. The victory was all the more necessary after the good results recorded this weekend by the competitors of the Olympians in the race for a place in the Champions League.
OM has resumed second place in the ranking with two points ahead of Lille, third, its next opponent on Sunday, May 4 for what promises to be the poster of the 32nd day.
