Marseille conceded two late goals to draw 2-2 at home to Strasbourg in Ligue 1 on Sunday having played for over an hour with 10 men after Leonardo Balerdi was sent off. The Argentine centre-back saw red for bringing down Habib Diallo as the last defender on 29 minutes, but Marseille took the lead right after half-time through Chancel Mbemba.Openda opens da door! Three goals in four minutes!Alexis Sanchez tucked away a penalty to put Marseille firmly in control, but Jean-Eudes Aholou struck twice in the final three minutes to stun the hosts and rescue a vital point for his side.”I think today the main thing was the red card. The referee got it wrong and for me it wasn’t a sending off. As a former player I know the difference between contact and a push. He just touched him and the referee couldn’t tell the difference” said Marseille coach Igor Tudor. Marseille are 10 points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain and their grip on second place is under threat from Lens, now just two points behind. Strasbourg kicked off at the Velodrome in 17th place but pulled themselves out of the relegation zone thanks to Aholou’s equaliser.Folarin Balogun, Ligue 1’deki 16. golünü attı 🔴⚪ pic.twitter.com/EBUQHUS6Ug— Genç Arsenal (@gencarsenal) March 12, 2023 Lois Openda scored a five-minute first-half hat-trick as Lens thrashed Clermont 4-0 earlier in the day to climb back above Monaco into third. Lens’ improbable title challenge had fizzled out after only one win in their past seven games but Openda, who had not scored since January 11, took advantage of the gifts from the home defence. He broke between two defenders before popping the ball between the legs of the goalkeeper Mory Diaw after 30 minutes. Three minutes later the Belgian striker pounced when Clermont’s Maxime Gonalons gave the ball away on the edge of his penalty area. Barely a minute after that, Openda benefited from another big mistake by central defender Mateusz Wieteska to add his third. In the second half Seko Fofana hit the post for Lens before substitute Alexis Claude-Maurice made it 4-0 from an Openda cross.17 – Will Still is only the second manager to remain unbeaten in his first 17 games in the Top 5 European Leagues in the 21st century, after Tito Vilanova with Barcelona in 2012/13 (18).
