The debrief
In two games, Olympique Marseille perhaps comes to say goodbye to his dreams of hair Lyon and Paris to the post in the title race. Sunday night at the end of a match that took off in the second half after a first period rather bland, OM, like last week against Reims, squandered two points in the very last moments. Hosted a draw as a defeat by Marseille yet conducted shortly after the restart after a penalty converted by Max-Alain Gradel. Olympians stifled early in the game by pressing the Greens (to the point of not hitting once during the first half hour), which would then enjoy the coaching Marcelo Bielsa to recuperate in less than five minutes.
The Argentine tried a gamble by bringing three players simultaneously. Baptiste Aloe to prevent Brice Dja Djedje, very upset, takes one second yellow card. But above Michy Batshuayi and Romain Alessandrini, the two heroes of rapid awakening of OM in the second half. At a meeting suddenly taking Cup match-like after the opening of Etienne score, the young Belgian striker sent the bottom first two balls of the game. Each time on perfect services of former Rennes. In search of a win away since last October and success in Caen (2-1), Marseille seemed finally gone to reconcile with the movements. But after that of Bielsa, coaching Christophe Galtier in turn paid off.
And an action initiated by Yohan Mollo, which came late in the game, Mevlut Erding took part pool in the area to jump higher than Jérémy Morel and allow Saint-Etienne, which has still not won at home in 2015, at least not lose. As in the last day, OM, unable to maintain its lead until the end, can curse the last minutes just cost him four points in two games. In just seconds, Marseille today would still level on points with PSG and two lengths from Lyon. But this new goal conceded in the money time leaves OM two points behind the Parisians and four behind leader Lyon. Damn fine games

Players under the microscope
Saint-Etienne
Once again preferred in Erding, Van Wolfswinkel has forced defenders to Marseille vigilance at all times. The Dutch striker was found in an area we did not know him always: air field. It has even been close to scoring entry in this way. Hamouma has also posed many problems to OM. Moving a lot, he ended up getting a penalty converted by one of the best Stéphanois Sunday GRADEL . Dangerous for every ball he touched, the Ivorian seemed much too fast for his opponents, regularly exceeded. He did not tremble when opening the scoring from the penalty spot, joining Ricky leading scorer ASSE (5 goals). ERDING , which came late in the game, was in the right place at the right time for his team to snatch a draw. Responsible for paralyzing the game Imbula, DIOMANDE has performed his task very seriously, but the former Guingamp had a big night.
CLEMENT and LEMOINE , very valuable in the middle, if fared better face Romao, less inspired than his partner. After a first half of beauty, PERRIN and Bayal Sall have taken the water twice in less than five minutes against Batshuayi. On his first goal, the Belgian takes over the two men, caught three minutes later by the stroke of Marseilles. But Captain Green was again very solid throughout the game. On the left, TABANOU , moreover decisive passer in injury time, scored a huge game against Ocampos, which never happened for over an hour. The former Toulouse has more saved saved his camp at the last minute by countering a head of Ayew. Which game of her! Less sharp, THEOPHILE CATHERINE let slip Alessandrini on the second goal from Marseille. After a first half in which he only had to intervene on a vicious shot from Payet, RUFFIER took two goals in quick succession in the second half.
Marseille
entered on game just after the hour to take the place of a GIGNAC , sick and ghostly on the lawn, Batshuayi has reversed the situation alone by scoring on his first two balls of the game. The young Belgian striker, author of a sparkling set of half an hour, regaled the stadium on his footwork and has not gone far from the tripled. A recital! Before the young replacing OM enters the dance, PAYET was one of the most prominent Marseillais offensively. OCAMPOS waited him the last fifteen minutes out of the box. Earlier, Argentina had never managed to make a difference. Entered at the same time that ALOE and Batshuayi, ALESSANDRINI was immediately decisive too. In the same way twice this long opening for the striker and the perfect cross at the near post which allowed OM to take advantage. Repositioned in the center for the last half hour, AYEW has already been invaluable to the left side, where he proposed many solutions.
IMBULA has made a beautiful copy. Very good in the tackle, he went up a lot of balls and found some good shifts, when it has not fallen behind to lend a hand to its central hinge. A performance all the more impressive that it was abandoned in the hour with a ROMAO anyway not really at the party facing the Saint-Etienne. Passed through face Hamouma, MOREL conceded a penalty that could have been costly to his team. A tough match in the axis for the former Lorient still underperformed Erding on the purpose of 2-2 but has yet been able to count his side on FANNI strong presence in particular cover. True to form, MENDY and ADI DJEDJE have given a lot on their respective side, while former player of Evian, replaced at the hour with ALOE after going close to a second yellow card, had started the game badly. As Ruffier, MANDANDA has not had a very complicated shutdown to perform. But he also took two goals. On the latter, he has no time to get up.
Monsieur the referee’s report
In this crazy game in the second half, M.Turpin has always retained great lucidity. Five minutes after giving a clear penalty to the Greens, the arbitrator has refused to Marseille Ocampos for a grotesque simulation Argentina. Well done. As the many warnings he went out and on which there was nothing wrong
It happened behind the scenes …
-. A two-day match, a rumor browsing the Marseille training center had reported an altercation between Marcelo Bielsa and Andre-Pierre Gignac, returned to the locker room by his coach before the start of training for being late. A fire that Marseille striker was immediately extinguished by a tweet. “After being allowed to go to the dentist in an emergency, the coaching staff decided that I should stay in care! No altercation! End. No waffling! Just the absolute truth! “
– The Greens enjoyed Sunday night support from an unexpected supporter: Jean-Michel Aulas. The president of Lyon, sworn enemy of Saint-Etienne, hoping for a victory of his rival for power behind Marseille in the standings. “I wanted to tell my players in the locker room you had to be supporters of the Greens tonight Aulas said after the victory against Nantes (1-0). Well, they have not followed me and really frowned. To be pragmatic, imagine they can do draw. And if one has to win, it is better that Saint-Etienne, and that’s all I wish our regional competitor. We can say: ‘Go the Greens’ tonight, no worries. “
– As has become accustomed since his arrival, Marcelo Bielsa had unveiled its starting lineup from its traditional press conference on Friday. But surprise Sunday night during the composition of the teams since Florian Thauvin announced holds two days earlier, was ultimately a substitute, Lucas Ocampos was preferred. Officially, the former player of Bastia suffering from gastroenteritis. Which has not prevented to take place on the bench alongside the other replacements. But it did not come into play
