They have managed to contain André-Pierre Gignac, rarely found with its partners in the area of ​​truth and who has often preferred to depart on the left to create space and be able to touch the ball. The most dangerous Marseille has been Florian Thauvin, including a pointed to an opening of Dimitri Payet, although hijacked by Remy Vercoutre after a reflex high class (7th).

THE GOOD RESISTANCE COURTESY OF CAEN

Five minutes later, he also missed a goal on a pass from fleeing Benjamin Mendy. Alone at the far post, he could not do better than a little dangerous downward header stabbed by Vercoutre (11th). The doorman Caen still reported shortly after the half-hour mark by stopping the knees a recovery Imbula Giannelli, a discount head back intelligent Andre Ayew.

The Normans applied almost to a fault attack, only looked dangerous on two occasions by a long shot from the left of Duhamel Steve Mandanda, advanced, was just happy to see rolling off his crossbar (16 ‘). And the 34th, Brice Dja Djedje is that smuggled shivers down the spine of noisy supporters Marseille on a pass too seconded Mandanda should tackle when the ball was leaking straight goals on the lawn made slippery by seasonal drizzle.

Caen believed equalize in the following minutes with the stopper Damien Da Silva, whose Steve Mandanda could not get the powerful head on a free kick from Julien Feret of her window, but he was offside, correctly. It was only a postponement, seven minutes from the end, almost on the same action, it is the other hiker, Yrondu Musavu-King, who jumped the highest and beating Mandanda, this time for good, a cross-head (1-1, 84th).

Remy Vercoutre delayed the inevitable a new reflex save in the last minute of injury time, a new parade of high class on a Alessandrini head at the far post. But seconds later, Gignac is recovering well a ball alone in the penalty area to the catapult on the cross (2-1, 91st). The OM center-forward now occupies the top scorer of the league with nine goals to his credit.
