(Ligue 1 2024/2025): Highlights MARSEILLE - ANGERS

A first loss in seven for Marseille at Strasbourg on game week six. Only PSG have won at the Velodrome since the start of last season. Bottom club Angers still looking for their first win of the campaign. Neil Mopet in from the start for Marseille. Ibrahima Nyane is in for Angers. One of three changes for the bottom side. Marseille quickly on the front foot. Mason Greenwood making space and forcing a decent save. From the goalkeeper, Yohaie Fofana. Mason Greenwood in fine form early season. And then a moment that looked like it was going to swing the game in favour of Marseille. Initially a yellow card for this challenge from Lillian Reaulisio. But upon inspection, the referee, Romain Lesauguin, decided to upgrade to a red. The bottom side down to ten men. It's free kick. It was a comfortable save from the goalkeeper. Fofana then got caught by Mopet, who picked up a yellow card. Mopet was to pick up another yellow card just a couple of minutes later. A foul on Jean-Eude Ahoylou. And a red card coming out. Marseille's one-man advantage was quickly wiped out. Angers then creating a good chance before half-time. A hit from Himad Abdelhi after good work down the left-hand side from Florian Hanein. And a decent save from Geronimo Rulli. Goal is at the break, but not for much longer after the restart. Mason Greenwood starting things off. Michael Murillo's cross by Omla's header away. And Jonathan Rose spinning and firing low into the corner. Six minutes into the second half, a second goal in three matches for the Englishman. On loan from Norwich City. And a very good finish in a crowded penalty area too. Marseille ahead in a game that many expected them to win. But they weren't ahead for very long. Farid El-Mellaly with a free kick. Precision into the corner and just out of the reach of Geronimo Rulli. El-Mellaly the first player to score a direct free kick at the Stade Vélodrome in Ligue 1. Since Edison Cavani for PSG in 2017. Roberto De Zerbi then giving a home debut to Adrian Rabiot. As the home side went in search of all three points. Marseille thought they had their noses in front once again. Garcia's cross and a header from Amir Murillo giving the home side the lead. Or so they thought. The ball appearing to come off of the top of the arm of the Marseille player. And VAR disallowing the goal. More pressure for Marseille. Huybiet with a gentle touch inside. Jonathan Rowe, looked like he might well have scored the winner. With 14 minutes to go. But upon inspection, it was actually a very good save from Fofana. Boos at the final whistle. Two points dropped certainly for Marseille and Roberto De Zerbi. A great point away from home for the bottom club. And they stay bottom. They are still searching for that first victory.
