Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Olympique de Marseille launch into their encounter with AS Saint-Étienne.
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Steve Mandanda suffering a number of foals already.
