With strong… signs from the elimination in the Champions League qualifiers by Panathinaikosthe Marseille “laughed” in the championship as well, staying at 2-2 with the Mets.
In fact, the Marseilles flirted with an even bigger disaster, after they “saved” the point with a goal of Bithyniain the 82nd minute.
In the first half, the guests were better and took the lead only in the 14th minute with Soglo. In the first minute of stoppage time, Marseille found a second goal with Aubameyang, but that’s it disallowed as offside via VAR. The Marseilles entered the second half just as strongly with Ronzier scoring in the 52nd minute, but the goal canceled again via VARfor an offensive foul at the start of the phase.
About six minutes later, Laszlo Bolony’s team left with one player less due to Lo’s red card dismissal. However, the hosts managed to… shock the visitors, as Sambali with a lucky goal (after the ball bounced and took a strange trajectory) made it 1-1 in the 65th minute. In fact, in the 71st minute, Marseille received another… blow, after Metz made the upset with a goal by Mikoutandze, with the ball leaving the hands of Pau Lopez.
Nevertheless, Marseille found the reserves to respond, initially having two goals and finding the equalizer in the 82nd minute against Bithynia.
Thus, the Marseilles went to 4 points, while this was the first point for Metz in this year’s Ligue 1.
