The gods were not Marseillais, but in favor of Atalanta, Thursday May 2, in the semi-final first leg of the Europa League. Authors of a successful performance, but too clumsy in front of goal, the Olympians could not do better than a draw against Atalanta Bergamo (1-1), on their lawn, despite a gala Vélodrome.
Quickly trailing behind on a goal from Gianluca Scamacca (11th), Jean-Louis Gasset’s men quickly equalized thanks to a nice strike from Chancel Mbemba (20th) outside the area. A coup before a second period controlled head and shoulders by the Phocaeans. But that was not enough: the place in the final will be decided in the return match, Thursday May 9, in Bergamo.
