Olympique de Marseille: a start to the season with a bang
Olympique de Marseille has started its Ligue 1 season in the best possible way. In their first game, the Phocaeans managed a real feat by overthrowing Stade de Reims with a 2-1 victory. This success was made possible thanks to a sparkling performance by Congolese defender Chancel Mbemba, who was started by coach Marcelino after being relegated to the bench in recent meetings.
However, the match started badly for OM, who found themselves behind after only 10 minutes of play. But the Marseillais showed incredible character by returning to the game thanks to a superb goal from Azzedine Ounahi, scored from outside the box in the 23rd minute. As the last quarter of an hour approached, it was Vitinha who allowed OM to claim victory, with an assist from Ismaila Sarr.
Chancel Mbemba and his teammates were able to maintain their advantage until the end of the match. These successful debuts give hope for the rest of the season, especially since OM will play their future in the Champions League next week against Panathinaikos.
This victory is the result of hard work and great determination on the part of the entire team. Chancel Mbemba, by regaining his place in the starting XI, brought real defensive solidity to the team. His return was a real stroke of luck for OM.
This positive result sends a strong message to the other Ligue 1 teams and shows that OM are ready to fight for the top places in the championship. The club’s supporters can be proud of this performance and hope that it bodes well for a successful season.
In conclusion, Olympique de Marseille started their season in the best possible way by overthrowing Stade de Reims. This victory is the result of the talent and determination of players like Chancel Mbemba, who seized his chance and made a real contribution to the team
