After suffering two consecutive defeats in the league, Marseille (OM) managed to salvage a point in a 1-1 draw against Reims in the opening match of the 29th day of Ligue 1. André-Pierre Gignac scored the equalizer for Marseille in the 80th minute, responding to Antoine Devaux’s goal for Reims in the 67th minute. However, this result falls short of Marseille’s ambitions, particularly in their pursuit of European qualification.
The draw leaves Marseille with mixed feelings, as expressed by goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, who emphasized the need to avoid mistakes and string together a series of positive results. The result may further complicate Marseille’s quest for a podium finish and European places in the league standings.
