After two first friendly matches won against Martigues (3-0) and Sète (3-1) and played at the Commanderie, OM faced the Swiss club of Servette de Genève on Thursday evening.
A meeting, broadcast by Canal + Sport, with the appearance of a double test.
The Swiss will play this season in the Conférence League, a new European competition, and 5,000 supporters were allowed in the stands.
A first for the Marseillais, deprived of a stadium since the start of the Covid-19 epidemic.
The recruits showed themselves well
And the victory is twofold. The Olympians won 3-1, in a match where all the goals were scored in the second half, and where the supporters put out drums, songs and smoke throughout the match. Brazilian rookie Gerson opened the scoring with a subtle toe-ball before Servette equalized with 20 minutes remaining. Benedetto, in difficulty last season, then offered himself a double, served each time by Konrad de la Fuente, also arrived during this transfer window.
Marseille coach Jorge Sampaoli was able to give Turkish winger Cengiz Ünder some playing time who made a good impression, multiplying provocations on the ball and unlucky on a super strike from 20 meters which crashed on the bar .
This meeting was also an opportunity to note the shortcomings of this workforce, which still does not have a right-back although Pol Lirola, loaned last year by Fiorentina is still hoped for.
