Ligue 1 I Monaco corrects OM with goals from Minamino, Embolo and Zakaria, and seizes 2nd place in the ranking

The shock turned to punishment. AS Monaco has outlined Olympique de Marseille on Saturday, on the poster of the 29th day of Ligue 1 which was very expensive in the Champions League race (3-0). Takumi Minamino (34th), Breel Embolo (59th) and Denis Zakaria (82nd, SP) highlighted the OM deficiencies which gives up his 2nd place to his executioner of the day.

Due to the absences, Marseille presented himself at the Louis-II stadium with a again altered defense and which ultimately did not hold the road. Ulisses Garcia accompanied Geoffrey Kondogbia and Amir Murillo. Jonathan Rowe, he was established on the tip against Monegasques with the more anticipated departure eleven. Despite their unprecedented composition, the Phocaeans entered this match with envy.

The visitors began to give some work to Wilfried Singo and the ASM defenders who held out. Aware of their defensive shortcomings, the two teams however hesitated to really indulge. The locals have slowly gained confidence and above all succeeded in opening the scoring by Minamino after a double parade by Geronimo Rulli against Mika Biereth (1-0, 34th).

Eager to react, the Olympians could have equalized before the break but Luis Henrique misplaced his recovery alone against the cage of Philipp Kohn which managed to divert the ball (42nd). Inevitably a turning point because Monaco raised the tone at the start of the second period and Rulli had to divert a beautiful head of Wilfried Singo on Corner (48th).

Debates have become more intense and more open. Köhn stood up to the far too discreet Mason Greenwood (52nd). Rulli, for his part, disgusted Maghnes Akliouche (57th) but sold against the crossed shot razing with embolo, launched to the right of the truth zone (2-0, 59th). The powerful and mobile Swiss striker hurt the Phocaeans not consistent enough.

Roberto de Zerbi launched Amine Gouiri and Ismaël Bennacer (60th) but the first came up against the solid Köhn (67th) who bought himself after his recent blunders in Brest (2-1 defeat of ASM). More and more abandoned by the OM rear guard, Rulli, he flew to divert a strike from Lamine Camara (78th) but also conceded a penalty for a fault on Embolo. Zakaria transformed the sanction and full-bodied the addition (3-0, 82nd).

Marseille relapse heavily after her start against Toulouse (3-2) and bowed for the 4th time in a row outside. The Olympians especially leave their dolphin chair for the benefit of Monaco which is a point ahead. The ASM of Adi Hütter signed a very nice blow, it will however have to confirm next weekend against Strasbourg in a new shock.
