After losing out on opportunities against the only side in the league without a victory, Marseille was left in third position in Ligue 1. In the 26th minute, Lilian Rao-Lisoa of Angers was sent off for a foul, giving the home team an early lead. After evaluating the foul on VAR, the referee altered the full back's original yellow card to a red one.
The benefit was short-lived. Neal Maupay, the Everton striker on loan to Marseille, received two harsh yellow cards in the space of three minutes. Substitute Jonathan Rowe gave Marseille the lead six minutes into the second half. The English striker stunned the unseen Angers goalkeeper with a low drive that went through a tangle of legs after he displayed deft agility inside the box. After 54 minutes, Farid El Melali scored his first goal of the year for Angers with a stunning free kick to tie the score.
