Olympique de Marseille won against Rennes (1-0) this Friday in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. This is the eighth consecutive victory for the Marseillais.
Guendouzi offered OM qualification (1-0, 59th)
In the league as in the Coupe de France, Olympique de Marseille won’t stop winning. The phocen club won an eighth consecutive victory this Friday by winning against Rennes (1-0) in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.
OM are off to a strong start, but…
From the first minutes, Sanchez had the opportunity to open the scoring for OM by taking advantage of an ill-fitting back pass from Majer. But the outside of the Chilean’s right foot in front of Alemdar didn’t catch the frame and Genesio could breathe a big sigh of relief. On his bench, the Rennes coach suffered because it was Marseille who got off to a better start in this match. And the Stade Vlodrome shuddered on a powerful free kick from Malinovskyi who came crashing into the post of Alemdar, beaten. The Marseille rookie could have scored a magnificent first goal in his new colors.
The minutes passed and the Rennais could not get out of their half of the field against the intense pressure imposed by the Marseillais, who offered themselves two new opportunities on a header from Sanchez captured by Alemdar and a recovery from Tavares which spun next to the post. If the Bretons headed out of the water in the last quarter of an hour, Pau Lopez was not really worried about his goal. The players of Igor Tudor were still a little put to sleep by their opponents at the end of the first period and could regret their missed opportunities at the start of the match when returning to the locker room at the break.
Guendouzi frees the Vlodrome
When they returned from the locker room, the Olympians had more difficulty against the much more conquering Rennes. But, against the course of the game, Guendouzi took advantage of a standard race from Veretout to give OM the advantage (1-0, 59th). After his goal, Marseille began to wait lower to try to better exploit the spaces left by Rennes. A dangerous tactic since the Marseillais spent the end of the match in their area and it was almost necessary for Assignon to take advantage of a poor exit from Lopez to equalize ten minutes from the end. Despite a final fright, on a long shot from Gouiri on the crossbar, the Phocens continue their adventure in the Coupe de France.
The score of the match: 7/10
From the first to the last minute! The two teams offered a show that lived up to expectations for such a poster. With suspense since Rennes pushed to equalize at the very end of the match.
The goal :
– Following a missed control from Majer, Veretout takes the ball and goes up the field before centering back towards Guendouzi, who places a flat foot on the left of Alemdar (1-0, 59th).
Players’ NOTES
Maxifoot has assigned a score (out of 10) comments on each player.
Man of the Match: Jordan Veretout (7/10)
In great shape since his return from the World Cup, the midfielder confirmed this evening. Very valuable for his activity in the pressing and on several inspired passes, the former Roman also allowed OM to qualify by serving Guendouzi, after a long overlap, on the only goal of the match. Replace the 89th by Pope Gueye (not).
