45+4: Come on, half time! OM logically leads 1-0. The Marseille attackers are still below, thank you Mbemba, but we don’t see AEK
45+3 : AEK puts more pressure in these last minutes but good defense from Balerdi. And behind Vitinha does not imp by swinging his crampons at Sidibé after a duel. YELLOW.
45th : Four minutes of added time
45th : Another center on the AEK road, still on the Lodi side, again. But Mbemba is ahead of his attacker
43rd : Phew this Lodi sausage again to get out! He puts the ball back in the middle. And to think that he was called up with Brazil
42nd : And another misunderstanding between Harit and Vitinha, he is really not at his best as an attacker
41st : Another long ball from AEK, but apart from that they don’t offer much. Oh yes, a few right-wing centers, but that’s all.
37th : I just saw that Rennais had also won, big evening for French football, friends. It’s up to the Marseillais to finish the job
35th : The Greeks are putting pressure on OM and Balerdi offers us a good backhand to poorly restart
33rd: New header from Mbemba from a corner! This time the goalkeeper is on the trajectory and punches
Correa’s small ball from deep is really good, but VItinha is forced to delay and his left shot is easily blocked
31st : Another half-fig, half-grape restart from Pau Lopez towards his midfielder, fortunately the Greek deviation is not precise enough
29th : Pau Lopez’s calm parade after Moukoudi’s header from a corner from the right
27th : Yellow for Gacinovic after a simulation in the Marseille area, he was looking for the penalty but Glenn Nyberg did not fall for it!
The free kick is taken in the second and the Marseillais obtain the corner. Clauss takes care of it and finds Mbemba on the other side, and OM opens the scoring thanks to a defender
23rd : Good free kick obtained by Vitinha in an aerial duel, the Portuguese is at least valuable in this area
21st : First time seeing Correa come back to defend since he was at OM
20th : Strong moment for Marseillais, but please put a little precision in the last 30 meters!
19th : OM tries a combination on this free kick on the left, it is well played at first but Clauss is caught before being able to cross
Good work from Correa to shift Ndiaye, the young OM striker chases the ball to serve Vitinha on a plate, but it’s still wasted
14th : Vitinha scratches a ball high on the pitch and spins to cross, but a defender and in Harit’s path
12th : AEK wins the first corner of the match with a long counter-attack pass towards Garcia who comes up against Mbemba
11th : The OM players have had the ball for several minutes, things are turning
9th : Complicated restart for OM with AEK pressing and Clauss pushes into touch
8th : Bad ball from Vitinha deep towards Correa when he was 10 meters away, everything OM has been lacking lately.
6th : It’s Athanasiadis in the AEK goals after the exclusion of the starting goalkeeper, Stankovic
4th : Good ball from Veretout towards Vitinha but the attacker cannot continue after an average control
3rd : And the smoke bombs continue to be lit behind the AEK goal! Big party in the stands
2nd : Big pressure from the locals to put OM in difficulty but Gattuso’s men have the first opportunity. But the center of Lodi is a failure
1st : It’s true that we don’t see much, it’s very gray
1st: Come on, let’s go, friends!
9:02 p.m. : The referees wait for the smoke from the smoke bombs to dissipate a little before kicking off, a great classic in Greece
8:56 p.m. : And in this group B, Brighton beat Ajax, in Amsterdam, a few minutes ago too. The English are temporarily back at the head of this group B which gives even more stakes to this match!
8:49 p.m.: I am told in the headset that there is even Jul in the stands of the Agia Sophia this evening
8:48 p.m. : Another evening dedicated to friendship between the two clubs. The delegation invited the OM delegation to dinner last night in Athens while aperitifs and barbecues punctuated the last two days for supporters of the two clubs.
8:43 p.m. : Come on, we’re off for this evening, friends, I’m in place
The Marseillais took the lead in group B thanks to their victory against the Greeks (3-1) two weeks ago at the Stade Vélodrome. The objective now is to make a double move to keep first place in their group and take a step forward towards qualification. But they will have to do without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, due to discomfort, and especially without their do-it-all midfielder Valentin Rongier! The task promises to be difficult in a stadium where AEK and OM supporters should still celebrate their friendship, as in the first leg.
