We’ve seen far too many goalless matches these days. But let us tell you about a game that certainly is not goalless. Olympique de Marseille and Angers SCO met on Friday night in Ligue 1’s first game of the weekend and it was mental!Les Marseilles proved once more that they are one of the most unpredictable teams in European top leagues. Tonight, they did get the win that they were expected to, but they’ve had to go back from a shocking two-goal deficit to do so.
The visitors couldn’t believe their luck as they romped into a 2-0 lead at the famous Stade Velodrome in the south of France. Angelo Fulgini beat Pau Lopez and then he assisted Nabil Bentaleb to extend the lead for the black and whites.
But the hosts showed that there is life in them.Matteo Guendouzi found Arkadiusz Milik who fired home and then Gerson stuck the ball into the low corner from way out. Barely 20 minutes have gone and the scoreline read 2-2!
The match was rather quiet until the final 20 minutes. Polish international Milik bagged two more goals and former Roma playmaker Cengiz Under added another to make it 5-2.LIGUE 1 – Round 23FridayOlympique de Marseille – Angers SCO 5-2 (2-2)/Milik 18, 70, 78, Gerson 22, Under 85 – Fulgini 8, Bentaleb 12/Saturday19.00: (2.65) Saint-Etienne (3.25) Montpellier (2.90)23.00: (2.10) Monaco (3.50) Olympique Lyon (3.80)Sunday15.00: (3.40) Lorient (3.35) Lens (2.30)17.00: (1.90) Strasbourg (3.50) Nantes (4.60)17.00: (2.10) Troyes (3.40) Metz (3.90)17.00: (1.62) Nice (3.90) Clermont (6.50)17.00: (2.25) Reims (3.30) Bordeaux (3.60)19.00: (1.55) Rennes (4.20) Brest (7.00)22.45: (4.40) Lille (3.60) PSG (1.92)***odds are subject to change
