AUBAMEYANG FOR THE DOUBLE
AUBAMEYANG FOR THE DOUBLE
Still no 2nd goal
Despite 45 very good minutes, OM have not yet managed to score this important second goal. There are plenty of opportunities, but the Greeks can count on a good Brignoli.
Vigilant Brignoli
On the right, Clauss wraps a good cross for Aubameyang who directly cuts the pass. It is directly in the gloves of Brignoli.
Clauss in legs
Big burst of energy from Clauss who comes at full speed to intercept a pass to Vilhena. Excellent period also of the French side.
Rare Visitor Offensive
Rare projection of Djuricic who is pressed by two Marseillais. He tries from a distance, but Veretout slows down the race, allowing Lopez to capture quietly.
Ndiaye’s big laundry
Big alert for Brignoli who is pressed by Ndiaye. The goalkeeper releases a little randomly. Marseille holds its reference period at the start of the season.
The hustle and bustle of the Greeks
Jedvag dithers in his box, and allows Aubameyang to place a left foot shot. It is still countered by a Brignoli really not helped by his defense.
Clauss very close to the 2nd goal!
On the corner that follows, Clauss manages to have the ball close to the surface. The side arms a volley from the right which takes the direction of the small net, but the ball is countered.
Huge chance of Leg
Brignoli saves his team! Upon receiving a long cross, Gigot manages to place an almost unstoppable header. Brignoli manages to slam the ball over his bar.
OM want a penalty
Sarr is dueling with Carlos on the right. The Senegalese manages to cross, but it is countered by a defender. The Marseillais claim a hand, but do not whistle anything.
Brignoli sanctioned
Note that Brignoli took a warning for trying to save time.
The Imprecise Greeks
The Greeks manage to hold the ball, but do not do much. The proof with a long pass directly in the feet of Clauss who can launch a counter in stride
Marseille likes to play on the left
Panathinaikos leaves a lot of space in the middle, facilitating Marseille recoveries which often play on the left. Aubameyang is often present on this side to place a cross.
An Ndiaye of great evenings
Ndiaye again! Found by Clauss, the Senegalese eliminates three players using oriented control. Full axis, Ndiaye places a shot lacking in power, repelled by Brignoli who quickly went to bed.
Nice shot from Sarr
Excellent work from Sarr who goes to the duel with Mancini, and even manages to scratch a fault. Symbol of the very serious match of the Marseillais.
Clauss wants to find Gigot but…
At almost 30 meters, Clauss lifts the ball to find Gigot at the far post. The goalkeeper anticipates, but the defender was offside.
Jedvaj sanctioned
Jedvaj’s turn to take yellow. The defender arrives late on Ndiaye who falls. Good free kick ahead.
Greek defense in trouble
Ounahi and Aubameyang combine on the left. The Gabonese sees his center being pushed back by an opposing defense in difficulty.
Very serious OM
Marseille’s intentions are very good in these first 10 minutes. Aggressive in recovery, OM also managed to launch quick attacks thanks to Sarr and Ndiaye arrows.
Ndiaye Festival
What an opportunity for Ndiaye! The Senegalese accelerates and eliminates two defenders in the area. The rookie lands a cross shot that narrowly escapes the frame.
Aubameyang close to a double
The Greek defense recovers badly, allowing Aubameyang to shine again. At the entrance to the area, the striker unleashes a heavy strike repelled by Brignoli. Ounahi follows in stride, but the shot is missed.
Aubameyang sanctioned
First yellow of the game for Aubameyang author of a bad tackle on Djuricic near the central circle.
Lodi failed center
OM are accelerating again. On the left, Lodi picks up speed and moves into a center position. His long pass is imprecise, and finds no one.
Nice operation for OM
With this goal arriving very early, OM are tied on aggregate (1-1). What a big blow from the Marseillais who now see the public giving even more voice.
Aubameyang is already launching OM!
Aubameyang is already launching OM! In the wake of the corner, Marseille plays quickly with Sarr who launches Aubameyang. The striker gets on his right foot after obliterating the goalkeeper, and places a cross shot that ends up in the net.
First corner for the Greeks
The Greeks have the ball in those first seconds. Mancini works on the left, and gets a first corner. It’s picked up from the air by Lopez.
The game begins!
Let’s go for Act 2 of the 3rd qualifying round for the Champions League. The Greeks commit for the first period.
Imminent start of the game
The game will start in a few seconds. The 22 actors have just entered the lawn of a well-filled Vélodrome.
Marcelino “optimistic” for qualification
In just under an hour, Olympique de Marseille will play the decisive match against Panathinaikos. Defeated in the first leg (1-0), the Phocaeans must win if they do not already want to be eliminated from the Champions League. The day before, at a press conference, coach Marcelino shared his optimism for this match.
See the article here…
No more room for error for OM

The confidences of Dimitri Payet before his departure for Brazil
Dimitri Payet boarded this Tuesday at Marseille Provence airport, around 6 p.m., to head for Rio de Janeiro (via Lisbon) and his future club, Vasco de Gama. A few minutes before he got on the plane, the now ex-number 10 of OM, smiling, responded exclusively to RMC Sport. To thank the Marseille supporters, and to justify its destination, too, in the land of football.

Hello and welcome to all for this live
It’s already very hot in Marseille and we’re not talking about a heat wave. Beaten in Athens 1-0 by Panathinaikos last week, OM must absolutely win in this return match to hope to play two play-off matches, probably against Braga and then qualify for the group stage of the Champions League . In the first leg, the Marseillais, who had finished at 10, had particularly railed against the arbitration.
A match worth several million euros, therefore, and which conditions the rest of the season for OM, while the transfer window is in full swing. Fortunately, the Olympians have found their way to victory in the league against Reims, with the return of confidence from their center forward Vitinha. Jordan Veretout promised Marcelino, the new OM coach, a fiery atmosphere at the Vélodrome this Tuesday evening.
Team compositions will be available no later than 8 p.m. Kick off at 9 p.m. The match is broadcast on M6. A meeting to follow also on the radio live and in full on RMC. and of course live commentary on the RMC Sport website and app.
