For Gattuso’s first on the Olympian bench, Marseille lost to Monaco this Saturday during the 7th day of L1 (3-2).
Defeated at the Parc des Princes last weekend (4-0) by a PSG far more inspired than against Clermont this Saturday (0-0), OM were unable to recover in Monaco this Saturday as part of from 7e act of Ligue 1. Yet twice in front on the scoreboard, thanks to an incisive and bleeding start to the game, the Phocaeans, in 4-3-3 for Gattuso’s baptism of fire in the French elite , ended up losing in the Principality (3-2).

Ndiaye, for his very first goal in Ciel et Blanc, took only 30 seconds to find the fault on the Rock. Only thanks to Akliouche – holder for the occasion in the combined absence of Golovin, Embolo and Minamino – ASM quickly returned to the mark (1-1, 8e). A few moments later, encore. Gigot, in a total excess of his function, slammed a nice volley into the Monegasque nets (1-2, 18e). But Balogun was quick to respond (2-2, 23e).
The ASM provisional leader
The rest of the first act was supposed to be less intense, like the rest of an ultimately balanced encounter. However, the locals hit the mark at the start of the second period, with an Akliouche in a state of grace (3-2, 52e). When the Olympians could deplore two or three contentious situations in the penalty area – systematically to their disadvantage. Thus weighed down by a second defeat in a row in the championship, OM, who have not won for five matches including the European Cup, remain eighth in the standings, waiting to slip a little further this Sunday a priori. Monaco is temporarily enthroned five lengths higher. This before the unexpected summit clash between Nice and Brest.
