Marseilles
This first day of Ligue 1 ended at 8:45 p.m. with a clash between the MHSC and Olympique de Marseille at La Mosson. Author of a consequent summer recruitment, OM was inevitably expected this evening. For this poster, Olivier Dall’Oglio who had to deal with the absences of Mamadou Sakho and Téji Savanier opted for a 4-2-3-1 with the only Delort in the lead. For his part, Jorge Sampaoli relied on a 3-3-3-1 with Payet in attack. The Marseille team thought to open the scoring by Payet at the start of the match, but the referee logically refused the goal for an offside position of the number ten Olympian (4th). The proteges of Sampaoli made a good start and gave the Mosson a few shivers. Guendouzi then Saliba narrowly missed the target (21st, 22nd). Unfortunately for OM, MHSC opened the scoring on their first big opportunity. On the left, Delort distilled a vicious cross between the lines deflected into his own goal by Luan Peres (1-0, 30th). Four minutes later, Gaëtan Laborde with a superb curled shot surprised a dumbfounded Steve Mandanda (2-0, 34 ‘).
A disaster scenario for the Marseillais who accused the blow. On returning from the locker room, OM were trying to regain their senses and Payet saw his shot well repulsed by Bertaud (50th). The Hérault goalkeeper was once again evident on an insufficiently supported strike from Under (61st). The Turkish striker reduced the score seven minutes later. Following a superb job by De La Fuente on the left side, the player loaned by AS Roma catapulted the leather into the back of the net (2-1, 68 ‘). Galvanized by this reduction in the score, Olympique de Marseille glued to the score thanks to a superb free kick enveloped by Payet (2-2, 75th). Five minutes later, the number ten Olympian allowed his team to take the advantage. Well served by Gueye, Payet infiltrated the surface and a small wound adjusted Bertaud (2-3, 80th). The atmosphere became electric in the stands and the referee had to interrupt the match. After a thrilling meeting between the two teams, OM started their season well with this success at the end of the suspense.
