45th : Oh the Niçois not far from closing the gap. Big mess in the Marseille area, Delort is countered, and then we claim a hand, but it is only a corner in the end.
43rd: OM IN DEMONSTRATION!! Double from Sanchez, who perfectly follows a strike from Nuno Tavares pushed back in the axis by Schmeichel. AND IT’S THREE BEFORE THE BREAK.
41st : Oh Balerdi’s nasty mistake on Pépé 70m from his goals which cuts the potential against Nice. Nice the referee not to put yellow on it.
39th : A real Marseille lesson on this first period, Nice is not there at all… And by the way Schmeichel does not make the best impression on me, to put it like that.
37th: TAVARES FOR THE SECOND!! The strike from the right of the Marseille left piston is vicious and it surprises Schmeichel at the near post!
35th: Sancheeeez must hit faster big guy!! Payet’s lag was perfect, but the Chilean takes a little coffee before triggering and Lotomba has time to come back. Huge opportunity.
33rd : A lot of technical waste on both sides but must say that it goes a thousand an hour too .. We get nothing for nothing.
31st: AaaAahhh Balerdi he lacks a size to put this cross from Clauss in the background. Will have to wake up in defense the little guys.
29th: Oh Pépé the half-volley after a pigeon wing from Lotomba but Rongier throws himself in extremis to save the house! It’s going a bit better for Nice there.
28th : Small aside to let you know that Montpellier leads 4-0 in Brest after 25 minutes of play. All is well.
26th : We can not find Pépé for the moment on the Nice side. Favre wanted more depth but even against the balloons do not arrive.
24th : It starts again. Nice to see this OM in any case, you just have to pay attention to the drop in speed because with this excess of energy in all corners of the field it can sting at some point.
22nd : Ah, a little cool break. It won’t hurt the people of Nice.
20th : Another high recovery from Guendouzi, it could have hurt a lot if Veretout had followed Sanchez’s movement…
19th : The stat that illustrates Marseille’s domination > 32 passes in the last 30 meters for OM, 6 for Nice. Ouch.
17th : First mini reaction from Nice, with a first strike from Delort countered, then an attempt from Illie at a tight angle. Not framed.
15th : The Marseillais are in the process of completely suffocating the people of Nice, it’s crazy. We’ve only seen them for 10 minutes. Big big first quarter of an hour.
12th: What a goal anyway from Sanchez. He does exactly what is needed on all the action the Chilean. First he stops his race at the entrance to the area to escape the defender, and then he places it exactly where it should be, near the first post, Schmeichel could not do anything.
11th : Popolo still a hot situation for Marseille with Sanchez who finds Payet behind. They put more one foot in front of the other the Niçois it’s worrying.
10th: THE GOAL OF SANCHEZ IN THE CROWD!! Magnificent strike in lulu to conclude a percussion of Clauss. What a start to the match for OM!
9th: Ouuuuuh Payet!! The shot from the left which grazes the post, Schmeichel raising his arms like it’s good guys it goes to 10m when not at all.
7th : Big, big intensity at the start of the meeting. It doesn’t let anything go in the midfield, with Beka Beka in particular surely still on the energy of his goal on Thursday. It’s a serious fight anyway.
5th : Curious to also see the first in central defense of the Italian Viti, bought 15 million by Nice this summer. 20 years old, from Emploi, one of the greatest hopes of Italian football. We will already see if he has mastered the basics, like putting his elbow on without being bullied by the referee.
3rd : Grandpa he wants to eat the ball I can tell you. His first shots are something.
2nd : No Marseille supporters present, we remind you. A ministerial order has been published to this effect for the risk of “serious disturbances to public order”.
1st: It’s goneiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Kick off OM, to boos from the Nice public.
2:58 p.m. : Both teams enter the pitch. Nice atmosphere for a Sunday 3:00 p.m.
2:56 p.m. : Know otherwise that in the first match of this Sunday, Nantes beat Toulouse 3-1. First win of the season for Nantes, who reacted well after being down 1-0 at halftime.
2:50 p.m. : Big pressure on the people of Nice today, since the OGCN has not yet won. Two draws and a defeat so far, and a 15th place in the standings, it’s not famous famous. It’s time to start the season.
2:43 p.m .: Yooooo the company! It’s time, we officially open this live
But it’s hard to talk only about football before this poster. A year ago, on August 22, 2021, the same poster could not be completed, after a projectile was thrown at Dimitri Payet, then an incredible general fight. The match had to be replayed two months later on neutral ground, in Troyes (1-1). We will see if the absence of Marseille supporters, banned from traveling, will be enough to cool the ardor of the protagonists.
“We meet around 2:30 p.m. to experience this last Sunday of August on the Côte d’Azur…
