00:00Marseille taking on Brest, and this is the Orange Bellodrome.
00:12Great, great atmosphere.
00:16Don't forget that Marseille, even when they are sitting second.
00:23Marseille were beaten here in the Champions League by Atalanta on Wednesday.
00:27They're in a bit of a sticky position.
00:30In Europe, but a much more favourable situation for them in Ligue 1.
00:33Just a couple of points behind Paris Saint-Germain at the summit.
00:38And an opportunity for them to bounce back.
00:40Plenty of that today, Emerson just slipping inside and making it a three-man defence in possession.
00:46Murillo's cross, watched all the way by Majenski, doesn't get a convincing hand on that.
00:50Comes out for the shot.
00:53And Greenwood curls it over the barbell.
00:55There is Roberto De Zerbi.
00:57Marseille coach is always under pressure.
01:01And Brest with a chance themselves to take the lead.
01:04Goal kick.
01:07Terrific chance for Brest.
01:09Pate and Buh.
01:11Finding himself in behind.
01:12And being really low at his near post.
01:17Good save by the Argentinian goalkeeper.
01:19He's celebrated it.
01:21And that's a Paisao, the Brazilian.
01:22Plays the 1-2 with Aubameyang.
01:24Keeps going.
01:25Looks to hit it.
01:26It's not far wide.
01:28Majenski had his near post covered.
01:30So, suggesting he might have taken a touch on his way through.
01:33But both ends.
01:36In the first ten minutes here as Angel Gomez plays it into Greenwood.
01:40Great anticipation around the stadium as Greenwood comes into the penalty box.
01:43Closed down by two Brest defenders.
01:49Here is Greenwood.
01:53Murillo up ahead.
01:54It's picked up by Bradley Loco.
01:58That's really well played by Vermeeren to win the ball back in the autumn of last year.
02:07Greenwood's interception by Loco.
02:10That's a Patek.
02:17And Marseille, yeah, lost this game today.
02:27Brest looking to pull off that shot.
02:29The offside flag is up.
02:30Gomez to Greenwood.
02:40Mason Greenwood looking to hit one on his right foot.
02:42The block from Brendan Chardonnay.
02:44And Paysham comes inside and gives it to Hoi-Biang.
02:53It's nicely worked.
02:53Emerson.
02:55Close from Emerson.
02:57Again, Majenski opting to palm the ball away.
03:00This time it does run to safety.
03:01And Marseille looking to grind the away team down here.
03:09Looking for the opening to come.
03:10Murillo's ball in.
03:12Clear the way by Koulibaly.
03:13Slip down the standings.
03:19They'd be exposed to Monaco or loss climbing above them.
03:22They wouldn't want that because they have a little bit of time to play by Marseille.
03:35And it comes out to Gomez who hits the shot.
03:37They're appeals for a handball.
03:39And the referee has given it the free kick just outside the penalty box.
03:43And here's Gomez.
03:48A lovely strike and it's gone in.
03:50A horrible fumble by the goalkeeper.
03:54And Angel Gomez celebrates putting Marseille ahead.
03:59The England international whose goal gave them the victory against Osser last weekend.
04:06He has opened the scoring today.
04:08But while it was a clean strike, it was a nightmare for Majenski, the Brest goalkeeper.
04:17Because he should have easily handled that one.
04:20And instead, he could only help it on its way over the line.
04:24Well, Majenski is a little bit unsure of himself a couple of times in the early minutes of this match.
04:32And that is a horror show for the Polish keeper.
04:37Marseille, one, Brest nil.
04:48Corner plate short to Greenwood.
04:50Brest temporarily down to ten players as Emerson floats the ball in.
04:58Comes out for Paishau to hit it.
05:00Majenski is able to hold that one without too much trouble.
05:03Moipi outlifts it forward.
05:08That's a great ball towards Paishau.
05:10He manages to bring it down.
05:12He's not the tallest, but he is such a lively player.
05:14The Brazilian Paishau rolled to the floor inside the box.
05:17It's a penalty to Marseille.
05:19Kenny Lala protesting his innocence.
05:23Of course, this will be checked by the VAR team that really did as you, the referee, in the heat of the moment, deciding that there was enough contact by Lala for the penalty to be awarded.
05:36Obamayang feeding Igor Paishau.
05:44Switching that left back position, the injured look will be replaced by Daouda Guido.
05:49Greenwood from the spot from Marseille.
05:51Scores.
05:53Sends Majenski the wrong way.
05:54It's his eighth Ligue 1 goal of the season.
05:59And it's Marseille 2, Brest 0.
06:11Nice and easy from Greenwood.
06:14No doubt about that one.
06:15Only Joaquin Panicelli at Strasbourg has scored more Ligue 1 goals this season now than Greenwood.
06:27Celebrated in the director's box for Pablo Longoria, the president up on his feet.
06:34Majenski beaten for the second time in his first half.
06:36It's a long way.
06:36A bit more expansive than some other coaches might be.
06:40It have been really entertaining to watch so often, particularly here at the Velodrome.
06:45Paishau coming back, Obamayang sweeps the shot over the bar.
06:49Really difficult for him to keep that one down.
06:58It looks so dangerous every time he gets forward.
07:00His air beat down on his knees.
07:05Penalty given away to make it two.
07:08And Bradley Loco having to come off injured as well.
07:09The ball is one back on the far side.
07:16And Brest themselves think they should have a penalty instead.
07:19The referee is going to give a free kick to Marseille.
07:23And produce a yellow card for simulation.
07:27Patien Bou does not agree with that.
07:30Big call by the referee.
07:32Well, he did well to dispossess Nayef-Agerd over in the far corner.
07:48And he does clearly fall to the ground very...
07:52But he's not being put under too much pressure.
07:58The Marseille players just having a little bit of a collective breather, really.
08:04The offside flag is up.
08:06That's Patien Bou.
08:07The winger from Senegal.
08:10To the right for Ludo Vecchiajong, who's decided to just peel out to the wing.
08:16Del Castillo gives it to Guindo.
08:19Guindo tries the shot, but armlessly wide from the substitute.
08:25And there is halftime here at the velodrome.
08:28Met with applause from around the stadium.
08:31Marseille 2-0 up.
08:32Angel Gomez with the free kick.
08:34Sports can't go anywhere.
08:35The kickoff is right here.
08:37Marseille get us under way in the second half here at the velodrome.
08:50Vermeiden.
08:51To Greenwood.
08:52Mason Greenwood from Marseille.
08:55Greenwood's shot.
08:55That's a good save that time by Majewski.
08:57That'll do his confidence.
08:59Majewski getting down to that one well.
09:01Greenwood's looking to swap one low into the far corner.
09:07It's a bit better for Bress at the start of the second half.
09:33He had a good ball in towards the near post, but Emilio Lascari
09:38is trying to relaunch his career on loan this season with Brest
09:41after suffering a bad knee injury last season at Lens.
09:49Two one-off semi-finals, the winners will meet each other in the final next Sunday.
09:57Sort of comeback here.
10:01First corner of the game.
10:03Swinging delivery, right by the head of Hoi-Pierre at the near post.
10:11Murillo.
10:15Marseille just moving the ball around, making Brest do the running.
10:18Greenwood looking for Aubameyang.
10:22Last touch has come off.
10:24Goals today from Angel Gomez with the free kick, and then Mason Greenwood with the penalty.
10:29Here's Igor Paixau from Marseille.
10:33Emerson on the underlap, and it's met by the head at the back post.
10:37And it's off target, and it could have been 3-0.
10:42Gomez, one of the smallest players on the field, if not the smallest, just couldn't quite divert it.
10:47In early to Magneti, now Kenny Lalla.
10:52The ball in towards Laboulas.
10:53The ball in towards Laboulas carry Magneti.
10:54Shotar, heads it over the bar.
10:57With them last season, a good run into the middle.
10:58On the penalty spot when he got his head on that.
10:59But very hard for him to keep that down.
11:00He's not the tallest player, Joris Shotar.
11:01He's not a prolific goal scorer either.
11:02He's not a prolific goal scorer either.
11:03The ball in towards Laboulas carry Magneti.
11:04The ball in towards Laboulas carry Magneti.
11:07Shotar, heads it over the bar.
11:09Shotar, heads it over the bar.
11:12With them last season, a good run into the middle.
11:16On the penalty spot when he got his head on that.
11:19But very hard for him to keep that down.
11:21He's not the tallest player, Joris Shotar.
11:23He's not a prolific goal scorer either.
11:32Murillo, maybe this time, Hoi-Pierre.
11:35The defender.
11:38Hopeful suggestions.
11:41He'll be okay.
11:42Getting in front of Lucas Touzard.
11:57By the head of Aguert.
11:59Look at the bar.
12:01One save.
12:02And some big score lines here this season.
12:05Del Castillo.
12:06Look to the left hand side.
12:08Laboulas carry checks his run.
12:11It's deflected behind by Vermeulen for another breast corner.
12:14And Marseille getting ready to make another substitution.
12:18It's going to be Italian who the club have just appointed to be the assistant sporting director.
12:23Former Italian international.
12:26Nice corner.
12:27And Marseille get it away.
12:30Marseille get it away.
12:31Too much on the cross.
12:40And despite his best efforts.
12:42Interception by Hoi-Pierre.
12:45Still got the energy to drive towards the opposition half.
12:48Vaas is tackled.
12:49Picked up by Matt O'Reilly.
12:51Looking for Aubameyang.
12:52To the middle for Aubameyang.
12:53He gets his goal.
12:54Lethal finish.
12:55From Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
12:56Set up by.
12:57Great play from Matt O'Reilly.
12:58And that finally ends any doubt about the outcome here.
13:19It's Marseille three.
13:21Fresh nil.
13:22Great running from O'Reilly.
13:37And Aubameyang had enough space as Koulibaly was drawn towards the ball.
13:42At the near post.
13:43Aubameyang tucking it in.
13:45It is his fourth Ligue 1 goal of the season.
13:50And he took that really well.
13:55First time he's found the net since the end of September.
14:00The ex-Paris Saint-Germain player is on loan.
14:05From Eintracht Frankfurt.
14:07In come Marseille again.
14:10Murillo into the middle.
14:11Cut out by Koulibaly.
14:13And made it across to the far side.
14:16Murillo again.
14:17There is still energy in this Marseille team.
14:20They have enjoyed playing against Preston in recent times.
14:24Straight win against the Brittany team.
14:27Since then.
14:28They're gonna make another substitution shortly.
14:30The hope side.
14:31Murillo to Aubameyang.
14:32Can he get another one Aubameyang?
14:34He was just put off a bit as he went to hit that.
14:41He's taking a bit of an ock.
14:44All of Gabon will be watching on and holding their breath every time.
14:49Aubameyang goes down and takes an ock.
14:51I'm sure he'll be fine.
14:52Imagine.
14:53He'll be looking to get a break now.
14:54Aubameyang is coming off.
14:55Mr. Laboulaschiari.
14:56Rulli diving at his feet.
14:58Certainly.
14:59Joaquin Panicelli by the way is in the Argentina squad for that game.
15:05Castillo's cross beyond a York.
15:06They're gonna be in a real relegation battle.
15:07That's the reality of it.
15:08Murillo.
15:09Murray by Chardonnay.
15:10Murray by Chardonnay.
15:11Murray by Chardonnay.
15:12Murray by Chardonnay.
15:13Murray by Chardonnay.
15:14Murray by Chardonnay.
15:15Murray by Chardonnay.
15:16Certainly Joaquin Panicelli by the way is in the Argentina squad for that game.
15:22Murray by Chardonnay.
15:27They're gonna be in a real relegation battle.
15:32That's the reality of it.
15:34Murray by Chardonnay.
15:38Bacola with the effort.
15:47Easy save.
15:48Mayetsky.
15:49It's a loose ball from him.
15:51Collected by Murillo.
15:52Bacola, that's a fight strike.
15:59By the young midfielder.
16:02It's the roof of the net.
16:03Daryl Bacola.
16:05Good to see him getting some more minutes at the age of just 17.
16:14Daryl Bacola.
16:15I want to say a club who found plenty of criticism.
16:19Provisionally to the top of the table.
16:22It's game over here.
16:25So it's the end of the game.
16:273-0.
16:28All I'm big and more is say...
