Match ends in a thrilling 2-2 draw
The match between Marseille and Monaco was nothing short of intensity and excitement. Both teams put on a show with suspense, yellow cards, goals, but ultimately, the match ended in a draw that didn’t benefit either side. Marseille played with eleven players against ten Monégasques from the eleventh minute, and even faced nine Monégasques in the final minutes. Despite the numerical advantage, Marseille couldn’t secure a victory. At the end of the 19th round of Ligue 1, Marseille sits in sixth place, while Monaco is in fourth place but temporarily level with Brest in third.
Monaco takes the lead, but Marseille fights back
Right from the start, AS Monaco pressed hard against Marseille. They didn’t need many opportunities to make an impact. Wissam Ben Yedder scored the first goal with his left foot after a long ball from Golovin (0-1, 7th minute). However, the strong start for Monaco was marred by Guillermo Maripan receiving a red card for a foul on Vitinha (11th minute). Maripan lightly held Vitinha’s arm on a deep ball, and the Marseille attacker took advantage of the situation by falling down. The referee, Willy Delajod, didn’t hesitate to show the red card, and VAR was not consulted.
Marseille couldn’t capitalize on their numerical advantage until the 32nd minute when Jean Onana found the target. However, their momentum took a hit when Jonathan Clauss suffered a knee injury and had to be substituted in the 34th minute. Despite their struggles, Marseille equalized through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was quick to react to a shot off the post by Vitinha (1-1, 39th minute). But in the dying moments of the first half, Ben Yedder assisted Maghnes Akliouche to put Monaco ahead again (2-1, 45th+3 minute).
Balerdi’s redemption and Zakaria’s dismissal
The match continued its unpredictable nature into the second half. Leonardo Balerdi, who was at fault for Monaco’s second goal, redeemed himself with a sublime long-range strike (2-2, 50th minute). Marseille continued to push for a winning goal, creating multiple chances. The game ended with Marseille playing against nine Monaco players after Denis Zakaria received his second yellow card in the 87th minute.
Zakaria was initially shown a yellow card for dissent after Emran Soglo miraculously escaped a red card for a dangerous tackle on Kassoum Ouattara’s left knee (75th minute). The thrilling encounter came to a close with Vitinha missing an open goal in the dying seconds of stoppage time (90th+4 minute).

Olympique de Marseille has played 247 minutes with a numerical advantage in Ligue 1 this season. This is at least 107 minutes more than any other team. However, Marseille has only won one out of the four matches where they maintained their numerical advantage until the end (with 3 draws).
Wissam Ben Yedder shines for Monaco
Despite facing regular criticism and spending time on the bench, Wissam Ben Yedder’s performance proves his exceptional level as a striker. In the recent Coupe de France match against Rodez, he scored a hat-trick, surpassing the milestone of 250 goals in club competitions (252 goals in total – 71 with Toulouse, 70 with Sevilla FC, and now 112 with Monaco). Ben Yedder has become the third-highest goal scorer in Monaco’s history, trailing Lucien Cossou by only three goals (115 goals, while Delio Onnis holds the record with 223 goals).
In conclusion, the match between Marseille and Monaco was a rollercoaster of emotions, with both teams giving their all. The draw might not have been the desired outcome for either side, but it showcased the intensity and competitiveness of Ligue 1 football.
