Still looking for a first success in 2024, OM faces the Ukrainians Shakhtar Donetsk in the first leg of the Europa League play-offs this Thursday, in Hamburg.
20:00
Zubkov’s heavy strike (54th, 0-0)
The Ukrainian tries his luck with the left and hits heavily. But the ball flies past Lopez’s cages.
19:57
Ounahi misses the target (51st)
The Moroccan attempts a curling shot outside the area. The ball flew off target but it was a good chance.
19:55
Yellow for Konoplya (49th)
The Ukrainian defender receives a yellow card for another foul on a Marseille player.
19:51
C’est departments
We hope to see more opportunities during this second act.
19:43
The statistic that hurts
In 45 minutes, OM only shot five times in front of the Ukrainian goal. And scored… Zero shots.
19:35
Half time in Hamburg
A goalless draw at half-time between Shakhtar Donetsk and Marseille (0-0). The Marseillais struggled to create chances while the Ukrainians had several.
19:35
Moumbagna bousculé (45+3e)
The Marseille center forward is jostled by Stepanenko. The two men explain before returning to the game.
19:32
OUHHHH THE EXIT OF THE UKRAINIAN GOALKEEPER!! (45th)
On a cross, Riznyk puts out his fists as Kondogbia arrived to place a header. The two collide, the Frenchman remains on the ground.
19:27
Dangerous corner which… gives nothing (41st)
Shakhtar gets a good free kick on the left of the Marseille area. But he was quickly dismissed by a Marseille header.
19:23
Moumbagna misses his delivery (37th)
The Marseille center forward misses his throw-back in the Ukrainian area. New sign of the excitement of his team…

The Marseille captain is pushed behind the back by Eguinaldo.
19:17
Corner for OM (31st)
Marseille recovers a ball in the Ukrainian half of the field. Henrique attempts a cross but is blocked.
19:15
Curious arbitration decision (28th, 0-0)
Zubkov is found deep and tries to find Sikan in front of goal. Lopez messes up, Eguinaldo scores but the referee comes back… Balerdi’s fault! OM is doing very well.
19:10
Marseille more offensive but… (23rd)
Clauss rushes to his side, serves Henrique behind who tries to cross. The ball is cleared.
19:07
Balerdi piétiné (20e)
Sudakov is in the duel, with his back to him, with the Marseille defender who, in passing, takes a few spikes on the foot.

The match resumed (18th)
After a few minutes of beating, the referee authorizes the resumption of the match.
19:02
Smoke on the lawn (15th)
The referee has just interrupted the match for a few moments. Smoke bombs used from one of the stands cause thick white smoke, covering a small part (for the moment) of the pitch.
18:58
Zubkov and Balerdi explain (12th, 0-0)
The two players explain themselves after contact. Nothing too bad.
18:57
Aubameyang’s counter (11th)
On the left wing, the Gabonese overflows and advances towards the Ukrainian area. His pass is blocked, corner.
18:54
Marseille got their foot back on the ball (8th)
The Marseillais press higher and occupy Shakhtar’s part of the field. Without a clear opportunity, for the moment.
18:51
L’OM feverish (5e, 0-0)
The Marseillais must regain control of their possession. Like this missed pass to Clauss and the poor recovery from Lopez, Marseille is showing signs of feverishness.
18:50
First alert (3rd)
Pau Lopez completely misses his short raise and Zubkov tries his luck with the left. Lopez catches up and deflects. First hot alert in the OM surface.
18:48
Shakhtar monopolizes the ball (2nd)
It is the Ukrainians who hold the ball in these first minutes.
18:43
Both teams are ready
The two teams have just entered the pitch.
18:41
The date of the return match
Next Thursday, February 22, OM will host Donetsk for the return match at the Vélodrome.
18:35
The Marseillais are warming up
18:35
A positive result in the Europa League
Marseille did not finish first but… had a good run. After a draw against Brigton from the start (2-2), the Marseillais beat AEK Athenes twice before winning at the Vélodrome against Ajax (4- 3) at the end of a crazy match. However, they lost first place after their defeat at Brighton in the last match when only a draw was enough…
Aubameyang face à Brighton.

A bad streak to stop
Since January 7 and a victory against Thionville (0-1) in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France, OM have remained in five matches without a victory. Marseille first came up against Strasbourg (1-1) then against Rennes in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. Gattuso’s men then continued their bad series with draws against Monaco (2-2) and Metz (1-1) with, in the meantime, a defeat against Lyon (1-0).
18:26
In Marseille, the Europa League to restart the machine
The observation is simple. Marseille has not won a match in 2024, excluding the Coupe de France. “A mini-crisis,” even mentioned Gennaro Gattuso, the Marseille coach, after the draw against Metz (1-1) last Sunday. During the meeting the Ultras even deployed banners targeting the American owner Frank McCourt. “8 years of failure and negligence”. A meeting between players and staff had even been set up at the Commanderie training center.
