Marseille and Feyenoord had a hard time getting into the game, groping each other and with many precautions in the first minutes. Horizontal football and few arrivals with mordant, although the local eleven monopolized the ball without generating a great danger.
It wasn’t until minute 21 when the first clear chance came to break the 0-0 lead. Payet could not sign his great move personal because his shot from the edge of the box came out brushing the crossbar when the stands were already singing the goal.
Marseille dominated, had the initiative but was very obtuse in the final meters against a Feyenoord very well positioned at the back. To make matters worse for the French team Payet was injured alone, hurting his knee, and was forced to leave the lawn. An setback for Sampaoli’s team that he was left without his most dangerous referent above.
The Payet’s departure affected Marseille, that lowered the piston, a moment that Feyenoord took advantage of to advance lines and scare the goal Mandanda, hitherto unpublished.
At 39′, a double occasion of Nelson and Dessers It did not end in a miracle goal, the first serious warning for the Rotterdam team. And at the edge of rest, Kökcu had the 0-1 after a messy play.
After the break, Marseille stepped on the accelerator looking for the goal that equalized the tie. The entrance of the former parakeet Pol Lirola It gave the French eleven more verve, who sought the visiting goal with greater verticality and punch against a Feyenoord who defended like a cat belly up at the start of the second half.
Precisely Lirola had the goal in the 55th minute but his shot went slightly high. He pressed the Marseille, carried on wings by a roaring grandstand, but he lacked success in the final meters.
The french monologue escalated but the Dutch wall did not break down, despite the fact that the game hardened due to the high stakes and the raffles followed one another.
in 67′ Trauner could undo the tables, but for a clear occasion the one that had Pol Lirola, already disguised as a striker center in the final stretch. In minute 77, the Catalan invented a quick, dry shot that deflected the visiting defense in extremis.
The goal of a Marseille overturned with everything in pursuit of the goal was chewed that would have led to an extension, by equalizing the tie. It did not come in a crazy final straight and the 0-0 no longer moved, making Feyenoord assert the 3-2 of the first leg to stand in the end of May 25 in Tirana where the faces will be seen against Mourinho’s Roma.
