The lull was short -lived in Marseille. Always as brittle defensively, OM has flowed again (3-0) in Monaco in the shock for the place of Dauphin of Ligue 1. Winner for the 6th time in 6 games to Louis II in 2025, the Monegasques took over 2nd place with a point ahead. For Marseille, this is the 4th defeat immediately on the last 4 trips. A figure that speaks volumes.

Always forced to tinker in central defense, Roberto de Zerbi had also surprised by choosing to bet at a point on the speed of English Rowe (5th tenure in 23 appearances), preferred to Amine Gouiri and Neal Maupay.
If the first half hour of this Ligue 1 summit had turned into a long nap, Monaco opened the scoring on the… first shot on the match thanks to Takumi Minamino, 5th goal this season (1-0, 34th). After a double stop by Gerónimo Rulli in front of Mika Biereth, Denis Zakaria recovers the ball and slides it to the Japanese. The Argentinian goalkeeper was abandoned by his defense which was far too passive on this action.
His counterpart, Philipp Köhn under pressure after his mistakes against Brest last weekend, distinguished himself by diverting the resumption of Luis Henrique (42nd). A judgment he celebrated as a tight fist.
The second period left, fortunately on a much more removed pace. On yet another bad recovery, Rulli leaves OM alive on a volley of Maghnes Akliouche (57th). But by dint of multiplying bad transmissions and alignments, Marseille is punished by Breel Embolo, who left on the edge of offside (2-0, 59th). The Swiss, author of a big performance, scored his 6th goal of the season.
If OM tries to revolt, Köhn is again decisive on a strike from Gouiri (66th). After a new huge stop on Camara’s strike (77th), Rulli, still abandoned by his defense, concedes a penalty transformed by Zakaria (3-0, 82nd).
The next few days may be new agitated in Marseille after this service unworthy of a podium pretender. Strasbourg (4th) who receives Nice (6th) a little later (9:05 p.m.) even has the opportunity to pass him in the event of success by two goals.
