OM were trailing in the 6th minute but Payet equalised at the end of the first half in this rescheduled match from round 3 of the Ligue 1 Uber Eats season.

CHANGES TO THE LINE-UP

If in the last two matches, Jorge Samapoli had not made any changes in his team composition, this time, the Argentine coach has largely modified his starting eleven. Compared to Paris, five Olympians have entered the starting line-up: Amavi, Alvaro, Gerson, Gueye, and Henrique replace Peres, Kamara, Rongier, de La Fuente and Ünder. As usual, Dimitri Payet wore the captain's armband.

Starting eleven : Lopez - Saliba, Alvaro, Caleta-Car - Gueye, Gerson, Guendouzi - Henrique, Payet, Milik. 

Jordan Amavi.

 

Payet GETS OM GOING

The match started in the worst way for OM who conceded a goal in the sixth goal of the game through Gouiri. The Olympiens had difficulty getting their foot on the ball and had several chances. But Pau Lopez, in form, kept OM in the game by making the perfect save against Gouiri who was thrown in deep. At the end of the first half, the Olympiens were dangerous and on their first real incursion, equalized. Milik's classy pass to Gerson allowed Payet to control the ball and hit the ball into the net; unstoppable for Benitez.

 

NO WINNER

In a rather balanced second half, the two teams created very few chances. Saliba, like a real attacking player, broke through on the right side and sent a shot into the corner. Nice was confronted with an intractable Lopez who made a perfect save to stop Atal's attack. Until the end of the match, neither team could find the breakthrough. Nice and OM share the points in this postponed match of the 3rd day of Ligue 1 Uber Eats. The OM continues its marathon with a match in four days, and a trip to Clermont.
