OM qualified for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France this Saturday at the expense of FC Hyères (2-0). Not without a big scare.
Sometimes victims of the magic of the Coupe de France against teams of lesser caliber, OM this time did not fail to enter the tournament. Against FC Hyères on the lawn of Martigues – the Toulon stadium where the Varois wanted to play not having been approved by the FFF – the Marseillais were able to make the difference despite a numerical inferiority suffered from the 15the minute.
At this moment in the game, Bailly short-circuited an opposing counter by hitting poor Ndiaye with a huge sole, thus dried up to the chest – and evacuated to the nearest hospital. The deal is more complicated from then on, ten against eleven, the Olympians nevertheless imposed the logic of their rank to the detriment of the residents of National 2.
A penalty obtained by Ünder and converted with a panenka by Sanchez first allowed Tudor’s men to take the lead (1-0, 45e+1); then Hyères missed his chance in a few opportunities at the start of the second act. OM took the opportunity to make the break by Dieng, well launched in depth by Guendouzi (2-0, 70e). With the key to a ticket for the next round and a beautiful extended winning streak – with now five successes in a row in all competitions.
