OM clearly dominated Lyon this Wednesday at the Vélodrome stadium, in a late match of the 10th day of Ligue 1 (3-0).

And to think that they had renounced the boycott of the meeting so as not to further compromise their future in the elite… This Wednesday at the Vélodrome, in a championship match which should have been played on October 29 without the stone-breaking of the coach of the Gones, the Lyonnais suffered a scathing 3-0. The very score they would have suffered if they had withdrawn for fear of attacks on their physical integrity.

Unfortunately for the Rhone residents there was no match against the Marseillais who were mobilized as rarely this season. Perhaps galvanized by their last two victories to date – against Ajax in the Europa League (4-3) and Rennes in Ligue 1 (2-0) – the men of Gennaro Gattuso, who for the occasion had opted for a An unprecedented 5-3-2 with Aubameyang and Vitinha at the forefront, they were quick to take the game into their own hands.

Aubameyang transfigured

Even before the half-hour mark, OM were already leading 2-0 thanks to Vitinha (21e) and Murillo (25e), on two assists from Aubameyang. Transfigured these days after having suffered a number of criticisms, the Gabonese striker also went with his achievement at the start of the second half to kill the match (3-0, 55e). With an important victory for the Marseillais, to return to eighth place just three lengths from fifth place – six from the fourth potential sesame for the C1. OL, on the other hand, are hitting rock bottom, weighed down by a ninth defeat in 14 outings and still five lengths off a 16e position synonymous with dams.
