Marseille Stuns Lyon in Thrilling Match: Possession Isn’t Everything!
Chapô choc:
Unbelievable scenes at the Orange Vélodrome! Marseille, with a mere 34% possession, defeated Lyon 3-2. We’ve seen games where possession is a tactical masterclass, but this proves football isn’t an exact science. A goal fest, and honestly, who saw that coming?
The 3 Keys to the Match
- Marseille’s Efficiency: Marseille turned every chance into gold. Greenwood, Rabiot, and Henrique were clinical in front of goal. We saw some attacking wingers causing havoc for the Lyon defense.
- Lyon’s Overwhelmed Midfield: Despite having the lion’s share of possession, Lyon lacked creativity and penetration. They struggled to find solutions against Marseille’s solid block.
- Set Pieces: Marseille’s corners were a real threat. We saw well-rehearsed combinations that troubled the Lyon defense. A true screamer of a header for one of the goals.
The Crazy Stat
19 shots for Marseille, 8 for Lyon. Yet, Lyon had 66% possession. Makes you wonder if the ball was magnetically attracted to Marseille’s feet when it mattered.
Seen from the Locker Room
“We played like lions, even if we only had the ball when we won it back. That’s football, mate!” said a Marseille player, clearly delighted. It’s like a pub debate, but with cleats. Harry Kane’s trophy cabinet vibes.
This Ligue 1 match reminds us that football is full of surprises, a bit like the 2022 Clásico, where the stats were also turned upside down. We saw a rollercoaster of a match, similar to the 2021 FA Cup final.
