OM stop the Reims unbeaten streak and get closer to PSG

Marseille holds on to its second place. The day after Lens’ victory at Angers (3-0), OM regained their rank as PSG runner-up thanks to their success at Reims (2-1), Sunday March 19, at the end of the 28th day of the League. 1. The series of 19 games without defeat in the Stade de Reims league (including 17 with Will Still on the bench), which began on October 2, therefore comes to an end. A defeat that the Rémois almost avoided but the amounts, affected twice, decided otherwise.

For their part, the Marseillais chained an eighth consecutive victory away from home to return to seven points from PSG, defeated against Rennes a little earlier (2-0). They owe it in large part to Alexis Sanchez who offered himself a double. First by equalizing with a sublime direct free kick (1-1, 16th) before taking advantage of Reims’ defensive apathy to double the lead on a service from goalkeeper Pau Lopez (2-1, 29th). Folarin Balogun had opened the scoring for Reims (1-0, 13th), scoring his 17th goal of the season in Ligue 1.
