Ligue 1: Marseille returns to victory by winning against Stade Rennais

Marseille-Rennes 2-0 Marseille : Aubameyang (8e, sp), Ounahi (65e)

Have a great week for OM! Three days after its victory against Ajax Amsterdam in the Europa League (4-3), the Marseille club relaunched in Ligue 1, winning against Rennes at the end of the 14th day (2-0). The Marseillais, who remained on a series of four matches without victories in the league, took advantage of this precious success to overtake the Bretons and resurface in the first half of the ranking.

In this duel between Europeans in slow motion in L1, OM got off to a perfect start. Aubameyang, already the author of a hat-trick against Ajax, opened the scoring from the start, converting a penalty obtained by Ndiaye (1-0, 8th). Trapped, Rennes was quick to react. The 3-4-3 set up by Julien Stéphan immediately took over the game. Pressing and very active in the corridors, the Bretons manhandled the Phocaeans for a long time in the first period, but they were unable to realize their start. The fault lies in a lack of precision in the last gesture, like Terrier's two off-target attempts (10th, 16th).

After a very messy start to the second half on both sides, the match definitely took a turn after the hour mark. Wooh, already at fault for the penalty, ended his evening prematurely by receiving a direct red card for a dangerous tackle on Kondogbia (61st). And at eleven against ten, OM quickly took advantage of their numerical superiority to double the lead. Ounahi, back in the starting lineup, delighted the Vélodrome with a great solo action, concluded with an unstoppable strike for Mandanda (2-0, 65th). The expulsion of Ndiaye in the process (68th) did not allow the Rennais, still imprecise, to avoid defeat. The first since the return of Julien Stéphan to the bench.

Now ninth in the standings, two points ahead of Rennes, OM have the opportunity to continue their rise from Wednesday. With the highly anticipated reception of OL on the program, in a late match on the 10th day. Postponed following the stone attack on the Lyon bus, this match could allow Gennaro Gattuso's men to make up part of their gap in the European places.
