In a crazy atmosphere – as at each reception of PSG -, OM opened the scoring in the fifth minute of this classic Ligue 1 reprogrammed this Monday evening at the Vélodrome stadium (due to a terrible storm the day before). The sky and white audience exploded with joy when a center of Mason Greenwood escaped Lucas Chevalier. The Parisian goalkeeper completely missed his intervention and Nayef Aguerd took up the ball victoriously with his head.
The early goal of the Moroccan central defender is a great first in the recent history of OM-PSG (or PSG-OM), since the opposition between the two clubs has not known such a rapid goal since April 7 … 1979!
To be more precise, it is in the second minute of a meeting at the Parc des Princes that Marc Berdoll opened the scoring for the Marseillais against the Red and Blue. This striker arrived at OM from Saarbrücken in 1977 and has played three years (107 matches for 53 goals). He was 16 times French international from 1973 to 1979, scoring five goals. Not a stranger, therefore.
An OM-PSG that was not yet a derby …
PSG had equalized very quickly, in the 5th minute, thanks to Bernard Bureau (an attacker who was never international tricolor), before a festival of goals in favor of the locals, thanks to the talent of his two prodigies, Carlos Bianchi and Mustapha Dahleb.
Almost 50 years ago, the matches between the capital's club and the Grande Metropolis de Provence were not considered posters in the French championship. The OM-PSG rivalry was created in the early 1990s, quickly becoming the “France derby”, like the Italian derby between Juventus and Inter, with the superpower of Bernard Tapie's OM then the emergence of the ambitious PSG of Canal+. It was even before the term “classic” in reference to Real-Barça.
