OM won its first victory of the season in Ligue 1 against Paris FC, thanks in particular to a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on fire.
This Saturday, at the end of the afternoon, Olympique de Marseille received Paris FC, freshly promoted, in its lair of the Vélodrome. A meeting that counted for the second day of Ligue 1, that the reigning vice-champion of France played without Jonathan Rowe and Adrien Rabiot, excluded from the Marseille group after their altercation occurred during the defeat against Rennes (0-1) on Friday.
After a big opportunity missed by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the 13ᵉ minute, the Marseillais finally opened the scoring five minutes later. The Gabonese striker obtained a penalty following an Otavio fault in the surface. Mason Greenwood walked and converted it perfectly, taking goalkeeper Obed Nkambadio on a thickness on the ground (1-0, 18ᵉ). The Olympians were breaking in the 24ᵉ minute, still thanks to Aubameyang. On a corner pulled on the left, the number 97 defeated the marking of Otavio and found the net of the nets on an acrobatic recovery of the left foot (2-0). Stéphane Gilli's men, however, responded shortly after, thanks to a coiled left foot of Ilan Kebbal (2-1, 28ᵉ).
Simon equalizes, Aubameyang signs a double
On the return from the locker room, visitors continued on their dynamics. The Parisian side light then came from Moses Simon. Served by Kebbal within the limit of offside, the Nigerian striker won his duel against Géronimo Rulli of a crossed shot from the right (2-2, 58ᵉ). But Aubameyang's passion did not allow itself to be extinguished. Shortly before its release under the ovations of the Marseille public, the former Gunner took advantage of a good pressing initiated by Bilal Nadir to recover a ball in the surface and make the double of a right foot (3-2, 73ᵉ).
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg corsicated the addition by sending a long ball at more than twenty meters in the Parisian nets, on a pass from Nadir (4-2, 81ᵉ).
