After six matches without a victory, OM dominated Le Havre on Sunday at the Vélodrome stadium (3-0). The premiere of Gennaro Gattuso will do good.
OM players will be able to approach the international break with a little lighter heart. Deprived of victory since August 26, in all competitions, the Marseillais found their smile again on Sunday at home against Le Havre as part of the 8th day of Ligue 1.
Less than 72 hours after the frustrating draw conceded at the Stade Vélodrome against Brighton in the Europa League (2-2), OM experienced the same start to the match, like an almost disturbing coincidence. Against the English, Rongier and his teammates led 2-0 (19th, 20th). Against the promoted Norman, the Olympians managed the break in almost the same time.
Ndiaye’s center provoked the csc of captain Sangante (1-0, 18th) before the perfect dive from Aubameyang served by the talented Harit (2-0, 21st). And this time, Gennaro Gattuso’s team held on, unlike the last two meetings during which they found themselves in front of the scoreboard (Brighton, Monaco).
To facilitate the Olympian designs, Le Havre found itself at 10 from 40e minute and the second yellow card received by Rassoul Ndiaye. And there too, no bad surprises in the Marseille camp, unlike Metz and Nantes this season where they conceded a draw despite numerical superiority.
Ismaïla Sarr added a final goal, served by the necessary backheel from Aubameyang (3-0, 84th), for a score more in line with the number of hot situations in the Le Havre area.
Gennaro Gattuso recorded his first success on the OM bench and his team did not concede a goal. Two good reasons for satisfaction for the Italian coach.
