French Cup. Lyon – Marseille: Aouar and OL eliminate OM, the match summary

23:27 – The match summary

Lyon loves the Cups! After the League Cup final, OL are now in the last four Coupe de France after eliminating Marseille 1-0. In this shock of the quarter-finals, Lyonnais and Marseillais fought a huge tactical battle but with a cruel lack of rhythm and the absence of real opportunities. The first “opportunity” came in the 5th minute with a missed recovery at the far post of Valère Germain. The Marseillais dominated this first half of the match, even if the danger was not really present on the goals of Lopes. Little by little, the Lyonnais took the ascendancy and were a little more dangerous from the half hour of play. 0-0 at the break, the score was rather logical. During the second act, the scenario was absolutely the same as the first period. Things finally accelerated in the 70th after a hand from Sakai in the area following a recovery from Toko Ekambi. After checking with the VAR, BenoÎt Millot awarded a penalty. Determined to qualify OL, Moussa Dembélé took charge but fell on the huge parade of Yohann Pelé (4 saves on 6 penalties since the start of the season, shots on goal included, via Opta). If this stop could have finally launched OM, it was not so and Lyon continued its “domination” and finally found the fault. Following a good collective action and a good shift from Traore to the right of the surface towards Aouar, the middle of the OL started, in a closed angle, a very heavy strike in the skylight of Pelé and delivered the ‘OL (1-0, 81st). Despite a rescue at the end of Marçal’s match on Aké, OM could not return to the score and offered the place in the semi-final to OL.

23:16 – Concern for Payet

In addition to seeing his streak of sixteen undefeated games end and being eliminated from the Coupe de France, OM could lose much more since Dimitri Payet came out injured in the thigh. Big concern for number 10 when Marseille will play a very important match this Sunday against Lille.
