Despite two goals of Michy Batshuayi just came into play, Marseille has been joined by Saint-Etienne in injury time (2-2), Sunday evening Closing the 26th day of Ligue 1. OM leaves Lyon and PSG to distance.
A draw to taste defeat for OM, yet. A week after having lost two precious points to Reims at the Stade Vélodrome (2-2), Marseille cracked again in injury time on the lawn of Saint-Etienne (2-2) on Sunday night. Frustrating, especially as Lyon and PSG, its direct competitors in the race for the title, both have won in this 26th day. If the transfer to Geoffroy Guichard was a turning point in their season, OM have missed. But this time, Marcelo Bielsa has nothing to do.
While his tactical choices were very discussed against the Reims, Argentina coach has made bold and decisive changes facing the Greens. Faced with the severe lack of offensive imagination of his troops, conducted less than ten minutes following a definite penalty converted by Max-Alain Gradel (1-0, 54th), “El Loco” released Andre-Pierre Gignac, Alaixys Romao and Brice Dja Djedje same time (63), half an hour from the end of the match in favor of Michy Batshuayi, Romain Alessandrini and young Baptiste Aloe.
A coaching paid off as a few seconds Later, the Belgian striker equalized for OM (1-1, 64th) … before double the lead three minutes later (2-1, 67th)! But Christophe Galtier, too, played his secret weapon by bringing Mevlut Erding in place of Ricky van Wolfswinkel (72) and the Turkish striker emerged from the head (90 + 1), febrile Olympian defense. With this third consecutive draw, OM is found in two lengths of Paris, four of the OL. This result does not arrange the Stéphanois, stuck in fifth place. But given the appearance of this meeting, they do not complain.
