Olympique de Marseille’s remarkable run continues under new manager Jean-Louis Gasset, with a 1-0 victory over FC Nantes on Sunday night at Stade Vélodrome.
In the first 45 minutes, OM had seven shots, one of which went in the net. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored in the 17th minute to give Marseille an early lead. The veteran striker scored against Nantes, making it his fifth goal in a row.
Nantes had some offensive opportunities, attempting four shots in all, but were unable to score. Les Canaris stepped up in the second half, taking six shots in all, but they were unable to score.
Marseille added an insurance goal in the 79th minute after Aubameyang scored his brace, the 34-year-old’s third in his previous five matches.
Gasset and his club are currently three points behind fourth-place LOSC Lille, but they will need to temporarily shift their focus away from Ligue 1.
Les Phocéens will travel to the Estadio de la Cerámica in midweek for the second leg of their UEFA Europa League Round of 16 match against Villarreal, where the French club currently leads 4-0 on aggregate.
Nantes has lost two straight games and is currently in the relegation playoffs. Jocelyn Gourvennec and his club are two points ahead of FC Metz, who have won two straight games. Nantes will try to rebound next weekend against RC Strasbourg, with both teams looking for a win to get away from the direct relegation zone.
