Have a good exit from Ngapandouetnbu
On a good against Saint-Étienne, Bouanga is launched deep from the surface. Ngapandouetnbu had anticipated and manages to clear the ball.
Rather dull second period
Apart from the rescue of Kolodziejczak a little earlier, not much is happening in this second half. The two teams look borrowed, there is waste.
Bamba passes close by
De la Fuente still overflows on the left side and center for Bamba, at six meters. The latter slightly missed his control and a save at the last minute from Kolodziejczak made it possible to avoid a ready-made goal.
New changes
Luan Peres, Alvaro Gonzalez and Cheikh Bamba come into play for OM.
Saint-Étienne got hot
On the corner which follows, struck returning, Balerdi deviates the trajectory but does not find the frame.
Gueye countered
Jordan Amavi launches De la Fuente, who crosses for Pape Gueye. The strike, from entering the area, is countered. Corner.
Guendouzi calls for a new penalty
Thrown in depth by Pape Gueye, Mattéo Guendouzi collapsed in the box after a shoulder kick and claimed a penalty.
Saint-Étienne grows
Since the start of the second period, it is the Greens who have taken the initiative and occupied the field, without obtaining clear chances.
Dangerous center for ASSE
The Stéphanois returned better in this second period, especially under the impetus of Boudebouz. Kolodziejczak has just placed a fleeing cross in front of the cage, which no one has managed to cut.
Changes on either side
Not all have been announced, but both teams have made changes. Dimitri Payet notably left OM side in favor of Cengiz Ünder, while Ryad Boudebouz entered for ASSE.
Here we go again
OM have just kicked off the second half.
It’s half time!
The two teams return to the locker room with a score of 1-1. Khazri replied to De la Fuente.
Payet above
Another opportunity for OM, but Dimitri Payet, however lonely, misses his shot a little, which passes clearly above.
Kolodziejczak tries his luck
In an unusual position, full axis at the entrance to the surface after a furious climb, Kolodziejczak tries to land a strike, but is countered. It is captured without problems by the Marseille goalkeeper.
Counter strike for Gerson
Once again, it was Konrad de la Fuente who set the defense on fire with a big acceleration. He manages to serve Payet who removes for Gerson at the entrance to the area, but he is countered by his shot.
The Marseillais took over
For a few minutes and the goal of Khazri, the bulk of the possession and the chances are to the credit of OM, which occupies half of the Stéphane field.
De la Fuente claims a penalty
Once again very lively, the American is launched in depth on the left side. Slightly jostled, he fell into the box and called for a penalty, but the referee did not flinch.
Payet hits above
Extremely well placed free kick from Dimitri Payet, off-center on the left side 20 meters away. The Reunionese sends his shot above.
De la Fuente sets fire to
The American is the most dangerous offensive from the Phocaean since the start and has just released a huge acceleration on the left side, even if his center does not find a taker.
ASSE claims a penalty
New hot situation in the Marseille area, on a percussion of Camara. The Stéphanois claim a hand in the area of Guendouzi, but the referee does not follow up.
Equalization of Khazri!
Wahbi Khazri’s first goal in this preparation. The Stéphanois recovers the ball at the entrance to the surface, takes it on the left side and releases a superb cross strike that ends up in the net! 1-1.
Mandanda comes out, grimacing
The goalkeeper of the Blues hurt himself during the warm-up and felt discomfort in his left thigh. She is obviously not gone: he leaves in order not to take any risks and is replaced by Simon Ngapandouetnbu.
Huge opportunity for Payet!
Great collective movement of OM. Benedetto, on the right, sends a superb cross to Dimitri Payet. At the entrance to the surface, it tries a diving head which passes little by side.
Rongier lights up from afar
After a new scratched ball, on a very high pressing of the Phocéens, the ball arrives at Valentin Rongier, at twenty meters, who releases a floating strike. She passes to the right of Green’s cages.
ASSE is building up the pressure
The Stéphanois have already had two hot situations in front of Mandanda’s cages, even if their last passes were not very adjusted.
Marseille borders on disaster
By wanting to circulate the ball between the defenders, the Marseillais put themselves in danger against the Saint-Etienne pressing. Aouchiche fails to recover the ball six meters from the cages.
Goal for Marseille!
De la Fuente opens the scoring after a magnificent sequence! Payet scratches the ball, finds Benedetto who throws De la Fuente, eccentric on the left side. The American adjusts the keeper and opens the scoring!
Let’s go !
The kickoff was given by the Stéphanois!
