>> Ligue 1: the ranking.
A one-sided first act
Olympique de Marseille, who perfectly master their subject, opened the scoring after less than a minute of play. Mason Greenwood crosses towards the far post and Jonathan Rowe sends a header to Wahi who, within six meters, pushes the ball with the right foot in the Lecomte goal (1-0, 1st). Shortly after a quarter of an hour of play, the Marseille club was close to taking off. High recovery from Höjbjerg in front of the Montpellier defense, who deliciously slips the ball to Wahi in the area. But Benjamin Lecomte intervenes perfectly in front of the Marseille attacker (18th). Montpellier’s response arrived eleven minutes from the end of regulation time in the first act. Nordin fires a shot, deflected by the Marseille defense. Rulli makes a sublime save to deflect the ball onto his crossbar and Adams misses the goal when he was two meters from the Marseille goal (34th).

Two minutes later, OM made the break. Rabiot offers himself on the left and shifts Garcia, who crosses with a touch towards Amine Harit. The Moroccan midfielder controls and strikes powerfully with his right foot, under the helm of Benjamin Lecomte. The Montpellier defense is overwhelmed (2-0, 36th). In the process, Roberto De Zerbi’s men took off. Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg recovers the ball from Coulibaly’s feet. Harit then gives the ball to Greenwood who finds the Dane perfectly at the entrance to the MHSC area. The flat of Höjbjerg’s right foot is out of reach for Lecomte (3-0, 40th).
The MHSC experienced a nightmarish second act
As soon as they returned from the locker room, Olympique de Marseille added to the bill. At the end of a lightning counter, Mason Greenwood plays with the return of Birama Touré before beating Lecomte with a cross shot from the right, into the opposite net (4-0, 58th). Shortly after the hour mark, Montpellier Hérault Sport Club was reduced to ten men. Stefan Dzodic was sent off after a serious foul on Amine Harit (64th). Fifteen minutes from the end of regulation time, Harit cleverly slips the ball to Michael Murillo, on the right side, who crosses towards the far post. Birama Touré touches the ball lightly, but it still comes back to Luis Henrique who scores from the left at close range (5-0, 73rd). Behind, nothing more will happen and the referee ended the match after two minutes of added time (90′ +2).
