Cham completely misses his shot
The Austrian approaches the opposing area and strikes but it goes well above the cages of Pau Lopez who has a very peaceful encounter.
Murillo had surprised Caufriez
On a long through ball, the first Olympian scorer of the followingnoon beat Caufriez but his cross was caught by Diaw.
Rashani va sortir
Finally the Kosovar can no longer hold his place following falling on his shoulder in the first period. He will give way to Allevinah.
Seidu is vigilant
Fortunately for the Auvergnats, Seidu kept a close eye on his area. Harit was looking for Ndiaye behind but Alidu Seidu made an excellent intervention.
It’s back to Marseille!
The 22 actors are back on the Stade Vélodrome pitch! OM logically leads 2-0 and might drive home the point in the second half if Clermont does not react.
OM logically leads to the break
End of the first act at the Vélodrome! OM are more than logically in front thanks to goals from Murillo and Harit. Clermont almost didn’t exist during these first 45 minutes.
Four more minutes
The fourth referee has just announced the added time of this first act largely to the advantage of OM.
Aubameyang was alone
What an opportunity to add a third goal in this first period! Aubameyang is alone at the edge of the area but rushes a little. His first intention strike is repelled by Mory Diaw.
OM is taking the break!
Just following the Ndiaye post, the latter is at work once more. His shot is deflected by Diaw but Harit follows and pushes the ball into the back of the cage.
Ndiaye’s post!
Another precise cross from Lodi on the head of Ndiaye. The Senegalese hits the post. Clermont was hot.
Big opportunity for Balerdi
Renan Lodi is still in charge on a cross from the left but Leonardo Balerdi’s uncrossed header ends up at the foot of Mory Diaw’s left post.
New corner for OM
After slowing down the pace, OM resumed their march forward and obtained a new corner through Lodi.
Veretout misses his center
The former AS Roma player had plenty of time to deliver a good cross but he completely missed it.
Clermont in difficulty
Since the start of the meeting, Pascal Gastien’s men have not endangered Pau Lopez at all. However, OM have fallen back since opening the score.
Boil on the ground
The Clermont defender is on the ground following a duel with Ndiaye. The trainers return to the pitch but Caufriez should hold his place.
The Aubameyang-Murillo duo does it once more!
What a goal for the Phocaeans! Aubameyang finds Murillo in the box following a one-touch deflection. The Panamanian controls and adjusts Diaw. Marseille logically opened the score.
Harit stumbles on Diaw
The Moroccan approaches the surface and shifts Veretout. The former Roman finds him but Harit’s shot is repelled by Diaw’s foot.
Aubameyang’s special
Harit takes his time to send a good cross to the far post. Aubameyang flies away and slaps a backhand that goes over the top. He had already made such a move a few weeks ago once morest Ajax.
Caufriez saves his team
Lodi hits the midfield and launches Aubameyang deep. The latter wants to find a partner behind but Caufriez’s foot prevents the ball from reaching Harit’s feet.
Mbemba takes the lead
The Olympian defender rises highest in the Clermont area but his smashed header does not catch the target.
What a Marseille counter!
Jordan Veretout alerts Iliman Ndiaye in depth. The Senegalese controls and launches Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in depth but the latter cannot ideally follow up with the return of the Clermont rearguard.
Rashani hit on the shoulder
After a duel with Murillo, the Clermont winger seemed hit in the shoulder. Jim Allevinah is warming up just in case.
A calm first quarter of an hour
This start to the match is rather calm in terms of rhythm. The Marseillais have the ball but are not in any particular hurry. Clermont is more wait-and-see.
Diaw imposes himself in his area
Jordan Veretout takes an eccentric free kick but it is deflected by the wall. The ball flies to the far post towards Murillo who crosses directly into the hands of Diaw.
Caufriez is late
The Clermont defender marks Aubameyang very closely and commits a foul on the OM center forward who does not hesitate to go low to participate in the game.
Diaw takes risks
The Clermont goalkeeper puts himself in danger in front of Aubameyang. Mory Diaw is doing well and manages to relieve his defense.
Leg grows back
The first opportunity of this meeting is for the visitors. Rashani overflows in his left and center lane but Samuel Gigot clears.
A young OM supporter joins Payet live
While answering Prime Video’s questions live at pitchside, Dimitri Payet was joined by a young OM fan. The 36-year-old midfielder greeted the boy with a smile. And the little Olympian supporter even found himself answering questions from journalists…
Let’s go !
After the fictitious kick-off given by former Olympian glory Lucho Gonzalez, the Phocaeans kick off this penultimate match of the 16th day of Ligue 1.
Lucho Gonzalez will kick off, Payet in Santa mode

Kick-off at 5:05 p.m.
This OM-Clermont will start in ten minutes from now on. The Phocaeans can completely return to the race for Europe while the Auvergne might leave the red zone.
OM strong at home

This is the club’s best run since 1998 and it might continue at a time when the Olympians host the worst attack in Ligue 1 with nine goals scored in 15 games.

Gennaro Gattuso’s appeal to Marseille supporters
The OM coach launched an appeal to Marseille supporters from the start of his speech at a press conference on Saturday.
“The match may seem easy on paper, but it is not, no match is easy. We will need the whole stadium to push the team. We have spent a lot of energy, and the public can tell us give a big helping hand, from the 1st to the 90th minute. I am sure that they will be there tomorrow and help us. I think that when we play with 62-65 thousand people pushing behind the team, in a such an atmosphere, it is also thanks to them that we are able to produce this type of performance. I think they have a lot to do with it.”
