Ligue 1 – Day 31: Marseille won without forcing Troyes (3-1), with a brace from Vitina.

Marseille may have had their easiest win of the season. This Sunday at the Velodrome, at the end of the 31st day of Ligue 1, the Foggians clearly dominated Troyes (3-1), in a match in which they were not worried. Winter rookie Vitinya took advantage of the opportunity to score his first two goals. This success allows them to make a good move in the standings, as they take advantage of the defeat of Lensoise in Paris (3-1) to regain second place.

The four reasons why Marseille no longer scores

21 hours ago

In the face of very weak ordeals, the Olympians revealed their football. With a very serious performance overall, though with a little relaxation towards the end of the game. Above all, this has allowed Vitinha to stand out. The Portuguese striker, defending champions for the third time in Ligue 1, made a perfect start to the match. With a powerful shot from under the crossbar, he opened the scoring after 1 minute and 25 seconds of play (1-0, 2).

Vitinha, big and double miss

Obviously, the most expensive debutante in OM history (32 million euros) did not stop there. No. 9 is the author of 8 of 28 Marseille hits. And even if he missed incredibly (12th place), he never gave up and rewarded double. By recovering the ball victoriously in six meters after a header from a corner kick by Kolasinac on the post (3-0, 64). Cengiz Under, meanwhile, had a break just before the break, after a great recovery from Valentin Ronger who pushed him perfectly into the area (2-0, 40).

The evening could have been perfect. But Igor Todor’s men slowed down a little towards the end of the match. They were punished with a goal in extra time. On the counter after a corner kick in Marseille, Mama Baldi managed to save the honor with a cross on the floor (3-1, 90 + 1). A reduction in the result should not change the future of ESTAC, which is heading towards the second division. With ten lengths in arrears seven days from the finish, Aube Club would struggle to avoid relegation. Especially with services of this level.
