The goal replay of the draw between Brest and OM
With goals from Nuno Tavares and Pierre Lees Melou
Ended ! OM held in check in Brest!
In front at the break, OM logically gave in in the second act and could even have lost without several interventions from Blanco and the clumsiness of the Breton attackers. Despite Sanchez coming on, his first in Ligue 1, Brest were hardly put in danger after the break. Like last week in Marseille, Tavares scored. Opposite, Lees-Melou responded with a sublime half-volley.
2 minutes of additional time
We are heading straight for a draw, unless Brest have the resources…
Duverne close to KO
On a corner played in two stages, the Breton defender wins his duel with Balerdi, but fails to adjust his flat foot. It’s out of frame.
Honorat replaced
The very restless right winger is replaced by the young Dembélé who is discovering Ligue 1.
Clauss does not fit
At the end of a one-two with Bakambu, Clauss does not manage to sufficiently turn his ball, which falls to the left of the goal.
Last change for OM
The striker of the evening, Nuno Tavares, is replaced by Kolasinac for the last minutes of this match.
Blanco is flying!
Another save from the Marseille goalkeeper to get a header from Cardona for a corner. It does nothing for the locals.
Double change in Brest
The Douaron and Magnetti are replaced by Cardona and Mbock for the last quarter of an hour, where the suspense is still whole.
Bakambu wanted at the far post
The Congolese striker comes close to taking over the center of Tavares but he loses his support and lets the ball slip out of goal.
The boxes are raining
Guendouzi in turn receives a warning and does not contest the referee’s decision.
The failure of Le Douaron!
In front of goal, Belkebla manages to get around Balerdi and serve Le Douaron, alone in front of goal on the right. His shot, however, flies into the stands!
A look at the stats
Surprisingly, Brest have 13 shots at 4, including 4 on target at 2. OM still dominate possession, with 57%.
Triple change for Tudor
Rongier, Gerson and Milik give way to Veretout, Bakambu and Payet for the last twenty minutes of play.
Guendouzi claims the penalty
Launched by Tavares in the middle, Guendouzi advances into the area but loses the ball on a perfect sliding tackle from Dari!
Rontier also warned
The tension is rising in Brest! The whistles have multiplied for several minutes, while OM go back on the attack. Rongier receives a yellow in turn for fault of anti-game.
BUUUUUUUT FROM LEES-MELOU!
Superb Brest equalizer! Following a corner pushed back, the ball returns in the axis to Lees-Melou, who places a perfect half-volley from outside the surface, 1-1!
Lees-Melou countered
New attempt for Lees-Melou, who stumbles on the Marseille defense. Brest remains very high and pushes to equalize.
Card for Gerson
He is sanctioned for having cut off an opposing counter-attack. This second period is very lively, the ball runs from one camp to another.
OM raises its head
After a big highlight in Brest, the Olympians find the opposing camp and show themselves from set pieces.
Blanco shows up
Taking advantage of a missed raise, Honorat is again served on the right and strikes instantly. Blanco pushes back to the ground.
Sanchez offers an opportunity in Brest
Author of a completely missed back pass, Sanchez gives a corner to Brest and a goal ball to Belaïli. The incoming sees his head passing right next to it.
Belaili sanctioned
The Algerian international is booked for a high foot to Rongier’s face.
Clauss can’t find the frame
In two stages, Clauss finds himself in a full axis strike position. Despite Sanchez’s call, he takes his chance. It’s above.
Corner for OM
Clauss hits him at the penalty spot. New luck for Marseille and Sanchez on the other side, who hits hard at the near post. Brest emerges.
Great debut in Ligue 1 for Sanchez
The Chilean striker is already replacing Ünder to make his debut with OM. In Brest, Belaïli takes the place of Pereira Lage.
Start of the second half!
Brest engages in this second act. A change on each side, with the entry of Alexis Sanchez on the Marseille side!
Reactions to the break (Prime Video)
Haris Benkebla: “I thought we were good, we got off to a good start. We were pretty good until the goal, which put us in the back of the head. We have to keep pushing to try to come back”.
Samuel Gigot: “From the start, they put us under pressure. We hunkered down, it’s good to have scored before half-time. We’re going to do our best to re-attack the match as well as possible”.
Half time!
OM lead by one goal at the break thanks to a new achievement by Tavares at the end of the first act! Authors of a good performance, the Bretons hit the post a few minutes earlier.
Gerson down
The Brazilian stays on the ground after a clean tackle from Chardonnet and limps back to his place.
1 minute of additional time
The rhythm picks up again a few seconds before the break.
Bizot not reassuring
The Brest goalkeeper is guilty in turn of a small inaccuracy when clearing the ball. He sends it straight to Milik’s head, as Ünder was prowling.
Milik borders on correctional
Already warned, the Polish striker nudged Lees-Melou again and narrowly escaped the red card…
Sanchez warming up
The Chilean rookie joins Payet and Bakambu on the edge of the lawn.
BUUUUUUUT OF TAVARES!
OM score with their pistons! On the right, Ünder plays his short corner with Clauss who sends a millimeter center in the race of Tavares at the far post. Already a scorer last week, the Portuguese fixed Bizot with a flat foot recovery, 1-0!
OM in the hard
Despite a good start to the match, the Olympians no longer manage to be dangerous and therefore concede red waves.
The Douaron finds the post!!
Brest is close to the first goal! On a counter-attack, Pereira crosses Le Douaron from the left. Blanco is beaten but saved by the left upright!
The inaccuracies are linked
On one side as on the other, the transmissions are more and more muddled at the heart of this first period.
Der Zakarian called to order
Untenable in his technical area, the Brest coach receives a yellow card in turn.
Honorat forgotten on the right
New interesting ball catch for Honorat, who takes advantage of the spaces on the right. His center back is intercepted by Mbemba.
It gets complicated
Undoubtedly not helped by slippery ground, the actors have had more difficulty finding each other and chaining for several minutes.
New corner for Brest
From the right, Honorat plays back on Magnetti, whose shot from the right escapes Blanco’s frame.
Lees-Melou is doing well
Author of a high foot on Milik, the Brest midfielder narrowly escapes the yellow card.
Balanced stats
52% possession and 2 shots to 1 for OM since the start of the match.
Card for Milik
Author of an elbow forward on Chardonnet in an aerial duel, the Marseille center-forward received the first warning of the match.
Big scare for Blanco
The Marseille goalkeeper narrowly avoided the tackle from Le Douaron to extend a back pass from Balerdi into his goal…
Lees-Melou takes his chance
The midfielder does not ask questions in front of the opposing surface following a corner. His shot is clearly above.
Brest sets up
Like a first corner obtained, the Pirates manage to keep the ball in the opposing camp. OM have more difficulty projecting themselves.
Honorat was still there
The Brest winger had again gone deep and tried to volley a cross from Brassier from 50 meters. It is ultimately too short.
Lees-Melou finds himself
The Brestoire rookie had seen Honorat leave, very active in this start, but he sends his pass directly into touch.
Milik misses the ball
New tumble from Tavares on the left. His cross towards Milik cannot be taken over by the Polish striker, who throws himself to try to take it from the chest. The Breton defense recovers.
No observation round
Great start to the game from both teams. There is currently no time-out, despite the pouring rain.
Bizot’s stop!
What heat in front of the Brest goal! At the end of a lightning transition, Guendouzi goes there alone on the left of the surface. In a tight angle, he stumbles on Bizot, then substituted by his defense just in front of Milik. The 1-0 was very close for OM!
Honorat is missing
Perfectly found behind Tavares, Honorat tries a half-volley cross. This flies directly over Blanco’s goal.
Tavares loses his support
Bothered by the slippery lawn, the Marseille rookie found himself on the ground in his left lane on the first Olympian offensive. Brest recovers the ball.
Let’s go between Brest and Marseille!
The kick off of the match is given by the Marseillais in the rain! Excellent evening to all!
Kick-off imminent
The two teams are expected back on the lawn in a few moments.
Brest used to shaking the nets
Der Zakarian’s side have scored at least two goals in their last three games.
Tudor talks about the Payet case
Igor Tudor on Prime Video, on the strong choice to leave Dimitri Payet on the bench again: “There are other important players on the bench. I’m a lucky coach since I have an important bench. But that doesn’t does not mean that some will not play the next game.”
An XXL Marseille bench
In addition to the presence of Payet and Sanchez, the OM bench will be very supplied with the rookies Veretout and Sanchez, without forgetting Gueye or Caleta-Car.
Two groups almost complete
If Brest is deprived only of Fadiga, injured, OM will not be able to count on their titular goalkeeper, Lopez. Note that Dieng, dismissed by Tudor, did not make the trip either.
OM want to confirm outside
The Olympian club is the best away team of the year with 22 points taken (7 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses).
The Olympian wardrobe
OM will evolve with their black away kit tonight. Kick off in less than 30 minutes.

Bizot – Duverne, Chardonnet, Dari, Brassier – Belkebla, Lees Melou, Magnetti – Honorat, Le Douaron, Pereira Lage
