For the past fortnight and its victory over PSG in the clasico at the Parc des Princes, OM has been showing signs of concern. This Saturday night, the Olympians were powerless to beat Metz at the Stade Vélodrome. But they can be happy to have saved the draw at the end of added time, thanks to a strike from the right of Sanson (1-1, 90th + 4).

Saturday, the players of Andre Villas-Boas dominated and largely controlled the possession of the ball (60%). However, they never put themselves in a position to shake the nets of Oukidja, the Metz goalkeeper.

The Phocéens, too little inspired, did not carry the danger on the Metz goal.

On fifteen attempts, the Marseillais framed only two strikes.

The punishment for the passivity and lack of application of OM came from Niane. A center from the left of Udol and the young Senegalese striker deceived Mandanda (0-1, 71st) with an uncrossed header.
