OM completely overwhelmed

Olympique de Marseille completely collapsed on the Nantes pitch (3-0), during the 32nd day of Ligue 1, after a worrying performance. From the first minutes, the Canaries imposed high pressure and an intensity that the Marseillais were never able to contain. Messy, imprecise and without ideas, Habib Beye’s men quickly suffered, unable to put their game in place against an inspired Nantes team.

Despite a few timid attempts, such as a strike from Greenwood or a rare opportunity from Aubameyang, Marseille was saved for a long time by their goalkeeper De Lange, decisive on several occasions in front of Cabella and Kaba. Opposite, Nantes was much more dangerous, especially in rapid transitions, constantly putting the Marseille defense under pressure.

3 goals in 8 minutes

The turning point of the match comes after returning from the locker room. In the space of eight minutes, the Nantes residents exploded OM. Ganago opened the scoring after a cross from Abline (50th), before Cabella doubled the lead with a quick counterattack (54th). Completely overwhelmed, the Marseillais conceded a third goal straight away, signed Abline, author of a high-class individual feat (58th).

Without any real reaction until the final whistle, the Marseille players left Beaujoire with their heads bowed. This heavy defeat seriously complicates their race for Europe. Still 6th, OM sees Monaco dangerously close to two points, with a game in hand. The Marseille club could be overtaken by ASM this evening, in the event of a victory for the Monegasques against Metz.
