Weakened by injuries in defense, Olympique de Marseille hosts PSG for a Classic which promises to spark sparks between a team undefeated at home and another which is away.
21:58 – Goal by Vitinha (0-1)
Vitinha springs to recover in his camp and leans on Dembélé before throwing himself forward. The Portuguese fixes in the axis and shifts to the right the French international who fakes the shot to give it to his midfielder who from the left comes to lodge the ball in the Marseille goal. At 10, the PSG takes control.
9:55 p.m. – Mbemba’s injury!
In the middle of the field near the halfway line on the left, Mbemba remained on the ground in the previous action. The Marseille defender was injured and is being looked after by Marseille trainers. He won’t be able to take his place again.
9:55 p.m. – Mbemba’s injury!
In the middle of the field near the halfway line on the left, Mbemba remained on the ground in the previous action. The Marseille defender was injured and is being looked after by Marseille trainers. He won’t be able to take his place again.
21:52 – Double opportunity for PSG
On the right side, Hakimi escapes on the wing and manages to eliminate Harit with a hook in the area. The Moroccan tries a curling left shot but his compatriot and selection partner deflects to the ground with the tip of his foot. The ball comes out of the area onto Dembélé who crosses his attempt too far from the right.
21:51 – Kolo Muani “sacrificed”
Interesting in his runs and his projections to the right, Kolo Muani did not return to the pitch after the break. The international striker was chosen by Luis Enrique to go out in order to rebalance his team block. It’s the South Korean Kang-In Lee who enters.
9:50 p.m. – Resumption at the Vélodrome
The Marseillais launch the second half of this 107th Classic against PSG. As a reminder, no goal was scored during the first act and Beraldo was sent off for the Parisian side.
21:32 – It’s the break in Marseille (0-0)
In the rain, OM and PSG returned to the locker rooms back to back (0-0). Positioned very high, the Marseillais did not harbor any complexes and imposed great pressure on the Parisians, who were embarrassed at the restart. Veretout created the most dangerous situation with a shot grazing Donnarumma’s post. The major event of this first act, however, will remain the expulsion of Beraldo, author of an anti-playing error in the position of last defender on Aubameyang.
21:32 – Additional time: 2 minutes
There will be two minutes of added time in this first period between OM and PSG.
9:31 p.m. – Donnarumma gets a yellow
Donnarumma is slow to restart and the referee considers that this is a deliberate gain of time. PSG’s Italian goalkeeper receives a yellow card.
21:29 – Shots off target
The Marseillais took advantage of their numerical superiority to continue to press and create opportunities. After Kondogbia’s unscrewed left shot at the entrance to the area, it was Luis Henrique’s turn to cross his 25m attempt from the right too far.
21:29 – Lack of communication with Vitinha
Vitinha has his back to the game 30 m away and no one warns him that Kondogbia is coming behind him. The Marseille midfielder takes the ball but pushes it too much, carried away by his momentum.
21:26 – Red card for Beraldo!
After several minutes of uncertainty and hesitation, Mr. Bastien is called by his video assistants to watch the contact between Beraldo and Aubameyang. After viewing the images, the central referee walks towards the Brazilian defender of PSG and gives him a direct red card. Danilo is also warned for protest. We play the 40th minute.
21:23 – Yellow card for Hernandez
Tempers flared and Mr. Bastien gave a yellow card to Hernandez, guilty of protests.
21:22 – Beraldo close to red
In difficulty in his area, Mbemba clears far from the right. This turns into an opening for Aubameyang who touches the ball just enough in front of Beraldo. the Brazilian defender is caught quickly and shoulder-bumps the Gabonese to prevent him from going alone on goal. The linesman indicates a foul.
21:21 – Ruiz in the grip
On a ball over the top, Ruiz wins his aerial duel against Mbemba and takes the ball to the center but Balerdi emerges to take it away.
21:20 – A lack of accuracy
Kondogbia combines in midfield with Ndiaye. Upon receiving his partner, the Marseille captain arrives at the edge of the surface. There, he pokes his ball towards Aubameyang but his gesture lacks technical accuracy and lobs the attacker.
21:16 – Dembélé misses the finish
Near the halfway line, Dembélé waits for Merlin’s pressure and clears the Marseille full-back to project himself forward. The former Rennes and Dortmund player accelerates towards the surface, uses Kolo Muani’s call on the right to rush into the axis. With a hook, he eliminates Balerdi and follows up with a right cross shot which passes right next to Pau Lopez’s post.
21:15 – Pau Lopez wins his duel
Dembélé escapes Kondogbia 25 m away and slips the ball behind Balerdi’s back. It is for Kolo Muani who cannot anticipate the exit at the right tempo of Pau Lopez who counters him at the feet.
21:13 – Too long for Dembélé
On a high recovery at 30 m, Ruiz sees the space which has opened up in the right axis and where Dembélé rushes into Garcia’s back. The Spaniard’s pass is too strong and goes out of the goal.
21:13 – Balerdi on the cover
PSG leans a lot to the right at the start of the match with Ruiz looking for Kolo Muani behind Merlin’s back. This time, the wing is well watched by Balerdi.
21:10 – Mbappé does not pass
Spear, Mbappé arrives at the entrance to the Marseille area but fails to pass between Mbemba and Veretout.
9:10 p.m. – In the rain
The playing conditions are not optimal in Marseille where it is raining. This has been the case all day.
21:08 – Mbappé cannot find Kolo Muani
On the left side, Mbappé tries twice to succeed in his cross. This one is poorly adjusted and lobs Kolo Muani at the far post. If he makes the effort to retrieve it, he is pressed closely by Merlin who pushes him back to the great joy of the Vélodrome.
21:07 – A corner for nothing
The Parisian corner crosses the Marseille area without anyone managing to cut the trajectory. Everyone had dived at the near post.
21:06 – Mbemba in opposition
Kolo Muani creates the gap with his outside foot for Hakimi. The Moroccan hesitates to cross and finally chooses to give in to the race of the international tricolor. The latter crosses from the right of the area but falls on Mbemba whose tackle is well-timed. Corner.
