Olympique de Marselha beat Angers 5-2 in Ligue 1, recovering from an early concession to take control before half-time and then pulling away after the hosts had cut the deficit. The visitors scored five times on the road once they found a response to going behind.
Match Summary
Angers started the brighter of the two and led through Lillian Rao-Lisoa, who scored after 14 minutes. That opener asked a question of the visitors, and the answer did not come immediately. Olympique de Marselha needed most of the first half to settle, then struck twice before the break. Himad Abdelli leveled in the 37th minute, and Nouhoum Kamissoko put the away side in front six minutes later. The half closed with Olympique de Marselha 2-1 up after a late first-half spell that reversed the early story.
After the restart the visitors kept pushing. Amine Gouiri scored on the hour to make it 3-1 and give Olympique de Marselha a two-goal cushion. Angers stayed in the contest long enough to pull one back in the 75th minute, though the scorer was not listed in match data. Amine Harit restored a two-goal margin in the 83rd minute, and Igor Paixao added another two minutes later. The official scoreline was 2-5.
