Amine Gouiri and Mason Greenwood found their way to the nets in this meeting and allowed the Olympians to take the 3 points and resume its distance from the OGC Nice which had returned to equal points.
Opposite, despite a good resistance, FC Nantes remains in 14th position with only 4 points ahead of the first relegation Le Havre. The Canaries will have to raise their heads on the next day against Strasbourg on March 9.
A first balanced act
Defeated during the previous day on the lawn of AJ Auxerre and touched by the controversies around its president Pablo Longoria, Olympique de Marseille was keen to bounce back and find the way to victory.
From the start of the game, the Marseillais will put the right ingredients to worry their opponents. Adrien Rabiot believes to open the scoring in the 13th minute of play, but Amine Gouiri is ultimately reported offside. In these first minutes, the two teams went blow for blow but without finding the fault.
Gouiri and Greenwood release OM
Seriously jostled by the Nantes, Marseille will hang on and finally hit the bull's eye in this meeting. Served by Valentin Rongier in the surface at the penalty spot, Amine Gouiri does not tremble and propels a flat of the right foot to the bottom of the cage of Anthony Lopes. The old Rennais opens the scoring and puts his own on the right rails (1-0, 73rd).
A few minutes later, Mason Greenwood made the difference. Strongly criticized against Auxerre, the Englishman will conclude from a flat left foot after a series of favorable counters (2-0, 77th).
A result that is good for the Olympians before facing the RC Lens and then Paris Saint-Germain on March 16 in a classic which promises to be explosive at the Parc des Princes.
