SCO Angers opened the scoring on Friday, February 4, from the eighth minute of play. Angelo Fulgini collected the ball from Gerson’s feet before firing a cross shot. Angers hit the nail on the head at the start of the match with a goal from Nabil Bentaleb on a curled shot.
On the Marseille side, the breath of fresh air came from Arkadiusz Milik (18th) on a cross from Matteo Guendouzi, which allowed Marseille to reduce the gap. Enough to relaunch the Marseille squad, which picked up the score a few minutes later on a low shot from Gerson at the left post.
Marseille finds a full Vélodrome for the reception of Angers, Friday February 4 (9 p.m.) on the occasion of the 23rd day of Ligue 1. Three days after the 2-1 defeat against Lyon, Jorge Sampaoli’s players have a new opportunity to put pressure on Nice who are ahead of them by two points. Convincing against Lens and interesting in the first period at Groupama Stadium, the Marseillais completely missed their end of the match at Olympico. They will therefore have to get back on track to beat the Angevins who held them in check (0-0) at the start of the season.
For his part, Angers is stuck with only four points taken in the last five games. Defeats against Saint-Etienne, Montpellier and Clermont set Gérald Baticle’s men back sharply after a good start to the season. Twelfth, the SCO sees the car of the pretenders to Europe escape but has a comfortable lead on the red zone.
