Entering at half-time, the Gabonese striker, whose arrival was made official on Friday evening, had several opportunities to score his first goal with OM. But he lacked precision in the last gesture, notably finding the post in the 94th minute.
Aubameyang recovered number 10 from Dimitri Payet, released by Olympique de Marseille on Friday, after an emotional press conference for the ex-captain and Olympian playmaker.
After the victory against Nîmes (2-0) last week, the new coach Marcelino conceded his first defeat with OM, even if we should not draw too many lessons from these preparation matches in July.
After a good start to the match, the Marseillais quickly conceded the opener. On a corner from the left, the Olympians failed to clear and Brandon Baiye took the opportunity to score with a header (12th).
After this goal, OM showed very little danger until the break, failing to find Vitinha, lonely at the forefront of the attack.
In the second half, a revamped Marseille team with the entries of Aubameyang, Harit or even Veretout created several situations. But OM did not manage to deceive the vigilance of the Eupen goalkeeper who made several decisive saves, in particular on a header from Kondogbia (66th).
The Marseillais will play a second friendly match in Germany on Thursday against the Dutch from Waalwijk, 9th in the Eredivisie last season.
They will then complete their preparation in Marseille with a friendly at the Vélodrome against Bayer Leverkusen on August 2.
