The last poster of the day in Ligue 1, counting for the 23rd day, saw Clermont and Olympique de Marseille clash at the Gabriel-Montpied stadium. The Marseillais might come and put pressure on PSG following their defeat in Monaco a little earlier in the day (3-1). Nevertheless, the players were invited to return to the locker room and the kick-off of the match was postponed by more than 40 minutes, the police having had to intervene around the enclosure to restore calm between the supporters but also to allow the tear gas to dissipate. After a period of observation between the two teams, Samuel Gigot failed and Muhammed Cham presented himself once morest Pau Lopez who diverted the leather but Grejohn Kyei was there to conclude (23rd). The striker was finally reported in an offside position by the VAR (24th). Just before the break, Cham was penalized for a handball in the area when he was in the Clermont wall on the free kick kicked by Ruslan Malinovskyi a few minutes earlier (43rd).
Alexis Sanchez was responsible for executing the sentence to open the scoring in this meeting (44th, 1-0). In the followingmath, Aïman Maurer entered the area and struck, while seriously injuring Samuel Gigot as he fell, and stumbled on Pau Lopez who had blocked the angle at the near post (45 + 1st). Issa Kaboré, who entered the meadow in place of Mattéo Guendouzi on returning from the locker room, shot near the opposing area and the leather was deflected by Saîf-Eddine Khaoui and smashed the crossbar (49th). The Olympians continued to put pressure to make the break and it was the Chilean striker from the Marseille club who offered himself a double at the end of the game. After a first header, the ball bounced off the crossbar and Alexis sanchez might make the break despite the presence of the Clermont goalkeeper (81st, 2-0). In the standings, OM regained their second place in Monaco and put pressure on PSG. Clermont, for its part, stagnates in the soft underbelly of Ligue 1.
