After a chaotic start to the match, marked by technical errors on both sides, OM was able to hold out. Shine throughout the match, Amin Harit was awarded a penalty after more than a quarter of an hour of play. A mistake in all was more detrimental to the Portuguese as it led to the expulsion of Esgio, who had already warned a few moments before. Matteo Guendouzi was responsible for turning the sentence by placing his shot into the side net, out of reach of Israel who started on the right (0-1, 20 minutes). An even more important goal because it is the first Olympian’s goal away from home in the Champions League since … November 6, 2013 (against Napoli).
The Portuguese were stunned, and again outnumbered, by the waves of Marseille. They showed, in addition, an unusual fever, and struck grave flaws, particularly on the elusive Amin Harit. And what should have happened, happened. Fired deep, within offside, Harit overpowered the opponent’s defense before finding, in the background, the unmarked Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean then only had to push the ball into the back of the net for the break (0-2, 30).
