00:00He's been given the gig till the end of the season, the former Moroccan international
00:11and we are underway at the Stade Velodrome, Marseille again looking to gain ground on the
00:17front runners. That's a better touch from El Arabi. Opening up a bit of space on the left for
00:26Deva Machado, Matisse Blin has sprung the offside trap and the cross too close to Rulli.
00:36Here a chance brewing here for Nantes, Matisse Blin and now Yusuf El Arabi, Marseille scrambled
00:43back well, still alive though for Nantes and the cross when it came in from Tabibou
00:51was bundled, looking to Yusuf Blin and getting behind the Marseille defence. So a corner for
00:59Nantes which Deva Machado will take in towards the near post and the goalkeeper has spilled it
01:08and it's been bundled in and Nantes have the opening goal. Yusuf El Arabi takes the
01:16credits but really it's got to go down as a goalkeeping howler. It looped up in the air
01:26and Rulli was under no pressure and could only push it towards El Arabi. I'm not sure he's
01:33going to actually get the goal, it'll probably go down as an own goal.
01:36Nobody would love a reprieve more than Geronimo Rulli and he's been called across, have a look
01:47at the small screen here with play and you can certainly argue that that's the case.
01:53Offside
02:05Cross
02:10Seen out for now by the Marseille defence
02:15Sentonza across the face of goal and then Rulli plucks the ball out of the air. Still
02:25plenty forward for Marseille. Greenwood looking back post where Obama Yang was positioned and
02:35it's going to be another corner.
02:42Michelle
02:45and Obama Yang straight at Anthony Lopez. Very presentable opportunity that one.
02:55Either side of Anthony Lopez and he fancy he's got a problem. Here's a blean at...
03:02Tabibou went far post and he struck the frame of the goal and then the return shot is not
03:15cleared yet. El Arabi is there and in the end Rulli drops gratefully on the ball.
03:21Well he was beaten all ends up by...
03:25Football could be a game of fine margins as Zabline turns the ball over. Here's a chance
03:32for Greenwood and the ricochet may favour Marseille here but Pavard was offside anyway.
03:39That's got one goal this season, Benjamin Pavard clearly offside here as he went for...
03:50and his team have got a free kick here which Mason Greenwood will fire over the roof of the
03:57goal.
03:59Still the golden boot leader Mason Greenwood with 11.
04:15Oh Lopez under pressure and he was caught there by Vermeeren.
04:22Really late by the Marseille midfielder.
04:26And Marc Bollinger may take some action here against the Belgian.
04:31It's a straight red card!
04:33Wow!
04:34Well, the challenge was late.
04:40There's no doubt about that.
04:42But the Marseille crowd can't believe it.
04:46And this game which is yet to produce a goal has produced plenty of other talking points.
05:03The back pass really did Lopez no favours nor did it.
05:10Won't stick for Pachau.
05:12Got a room here for Junior Mwanga.
05:15Matisse Abline.
05:16Abline shot, Tony partly away.
05:19And now they've got the goal that they've threatened to score, Nantes.
05:26And it's Fabien Sentonze for the third game in a row.
05:33Quite extraordinary.
05:34He's played only a bit part role so far this season but he was there to feed on the scraps.
05:42As Rulli could only parry Abline's effort away and into the path of the onrushing Nantes defender.
05:55And Nantes have the advantage that they've...
06:00Behind him Bilal Nadia.
06:04Two weight in the box for the cross.
06:07Nobody at the back post.
06:09And that was key.
06:12Still not completely away though.
06:14Value here at the moment and it's Matisse Abline running at pace and slipping the ball through.
06:19Here's Machado with a cutback.
06:21It'll break for Tabibou.
06:23That's a good save by Rulli.
06:25Because that was travelling off the boot of Daman Tabibou.
06:29Set pieces might be the best way through for Marseille.
06:42Emerson's delivery was flicked on at the near post.
06:48By Hojbjerg.
06:50By Hojbjerg.
06:51But nobody there.
06:52Hamid Traore back from injury.
06:54Robinho Vaz the exciting youngster of course.
06:57Here's Timothy Weah's cross but easy pickings for Lopez.
07:03Behind the ball for Nantes.
07:10Weah.
07:11Drifted well and it was a dangerous ball across the face of that Nantes penalty area.
07:20That's too deep for Aubameyang.
07:25A little check of the watch from Marc Bollinger.
07:29Roberto Deserbi can now plan his half-time team talk.
07:33Well, the first half full of controversy.
07:36Fabian Sentonzi with the only goal.
07:39A challenge by Artur Vermeeren on Anthony Lopez that resulted in the Marseille midfielder seeing red.
07:46Tabibu has hit the frame of the goal for Nantes as well as of an illness to Leonardo Bollerdi.
07:54Which ruled him out today.
07:56So back underway.
07:58In the second half.
08:00Nantes.
08:02Himself.
08:04Bamiyang.
08:05Cross the face but Tylal Tati with the effective stretch.
08:09And Junior Mwanga to bring it clear for Nantes.
08:16Nantes on.
08:19Stepping off on an amazing dribble on the shot.
08:21And the end was straight down the throat of Anthony Lopez from Greenwood.
08:25But at last some work for the non-goalkeeper.
08:33Tame as it was.
08:38Helped on towards the danger zone.
08:40And the shot from Hojbjerg.
08:43Steered away with the left boot of Anthony Lopez.
08:46Nadea.
08:52Emerson sent it wide.
08:57And the cross will find Murillo but he was off balance.
09:00Murillo.
09:05Trying to wrap his boot around the cross.
09:08Steered out of play by Tati.
09:20Nadea's been robbed of the ball and committed the foul.
09:22That's going to be another yellow card here.
09:29And it just got robbed on the ball.
09:32And a chance.
09:34For Machado to make grounds.
09:39Now the whistle does blow.
09:40It's a second yellow card unbelievably.
09:42For Bilal Nadea.
09:43And Marseille are down to nine.
09:49Can you credit this?
09:58Arthur van Meeren dismissed in the first half.
10:01And now.
10:05It's going to be Matisse Ablee straight into the wall.
10:09And then over the crossbar.
10:11At the second attempt.
10:16They're looking to find an equaliser here.
10:18Emerson's corner.
10:24Nantes have got a player down.
10:26And the whistle goes.
10:28That's the cue for more frustration from the home supporters.
10:31Against a Nantes team that seem pretty content to sit in with their one goal cushion.
10:36That'll be Michael on the end of this.
10:40They've got three against one here.
10:42Big chance to seal it.
10:43Louis LaRue.
10:45And a big save by Herodomo Rulli.
10:48To keep Marseille in the contest.
10:52That would have finished it for sure.
10:59Here's Amin Kouiri.
11:01Marseille.
11:03Marseille cling it on.
11:05Way as cross into the box.
11:06Mourinho at the back post.
11:08Couldn't reach.
11:10And then off Pavard.
11:13Having to try and pick his way through.
11:14They've got an overlap on the left hand side.
11:17Here's Amin Kouiri.
11:19And he was very quickly shut down.
11:28Rulli looking for an option.
11:29He's given the ball straight.
11:30Back to Nantes.
11:32And they could be in here.
11:34And Cabela.
11:36Has fluffed his lines.
11:37Well that's two big chances now.
11:40They've had to seal it.
11:43Are they going to pay the price nonce.
11:46For their profligacy.
11:48Here's Weyer.
11:50Gets a second bite at it.
11:51Timothy Weyer.
11:57And wide it goes.
11:59And Anthony Lopez.
12:00Is conducting an inquest.
12:02That could so easily.
12:07Here's Cabela.
12:10Cross towards LaRue.
12:12Beaten away by Rulli.
12:14LaRue again.
12:15Back post is Ablain.
12:19He volleys.
12:20Miles over the top.
12:24Well if none don't win this game.
12:29They will kick themselves.
12:33Don't forget to vote.
12:35For your man of the match.
12:36On the Ligue 1.com website.
12:37Before the end of the game.
12:40Another cross into the penalty area.
12:42That they deal with.
12:50Kotze.
12:51Drawing the foul from Hamad Traore.
12:53It's a good intervention by Ducure.
12:56The ball will break here.
12:57For Hamad Traore.
12:58But he's offside.
13:00Doesn't know it yet.
13:02Right.
13:03For Cabela.
13:12A play.
13:17Penalty.
13:19Well that's the icing on the cake Marseille will feel.
13:22from a referee performance they believe has not been in their favor all afternoon
13:32matisse bleep cutting back
13:35there is a little bit of contact with pavard
13:45more a tangle of legs you'd say than anything else
13:48it's going to be remy cabela on his return to liga with a penalty
13:57to surely settle it in favor of nantes and cabela makes it 2-0 the stad velodrome for silence
14:06and nantes are going to head back northwest with all three points a hugely unexpected three points
14:16and remy cabela scores on his return to liga
14:22that was a good penalty
14:40rudy gets the right way but there have been times in the second half even against nine men that
14:47nantes have wobbled here's timothy weyer
14:50routine save for lopez
14:54but that is full time and it is a huge win for nantes their first since october
15:10as marseille falter again in their bid to stay on the coattails of the leaders
15:16that's great for theians
