Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Olympique de Marseille host Montpellier HSC — let the battle begin!
- 5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Olympique de Marseille and Montpellier HSC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 9' What a strike from Ahmadou Bamba Dieng! The score is 1-0.
- 14' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Olympique de Marseille and Montpellier HSC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 18' Jordan Ferri was booked on 18.
- 19' Cengiz Under adds to his 0 season tally! Olympique de Marseille lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
- 24' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Arnaud Souquet made 310 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 29' Maxime Esteve has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 34' 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 Pape Gueye suffering a number of foals already.
- 39' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Olympique de Marseille needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 44' The travelling Montpellier HSC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 49' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 54' It’s high time Jorge Sampaoli made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 59' Mamadou Sakho has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 336 appearances.
- 60' The whistle greets Ahmadou Bamba Dieng as he departs to be replaced by Luis Henrique.
- 63' The Montpellier HSC bench stirs into life. Florent Mollet is withdrawn and Valere Germain gets his opportunity.
- 66' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Leo Leroy on 66 minutes.
- 71' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Olivier Dall'Oglio will be considering his options from the bench.
- 76' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 79' Sead Kolasinac gets the nod from Olympique de Marseille. He replaces Pape Gueye and will look to change the dynamic.
- 84' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 89' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 90' That is a Red card for Montpellier HSC. Jonas Omlin will be fuming at that decision.
- 90' A tactical swap from Olympique de Marseille — Salim Ben Seghir on, Boubacar Kamara off on 90 minutes.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Olympique de Marseille players.
