The Olympians, two of whom are affected by the Covid, remain undefeated in their preparation and return to victory after two draws against Braga and Benfica.
Opposed to Saint-Etienne for their sixth game of the preseason, OM did not succeed in everything but were effective at both ends of the match.
An ingredient sufficient to win 2 goals to 1 in this friendly poster with the good taste of Ligue 1.
Konrad de la Fuentes celebrated his first start by opening the scoring in the second minute, taking a ball from Benedetto to come close to the Stéphanois goalkeeper.
The young American winger who arrived from Barcelona was the most dangerous Marseillais of the meeting, also delivering in the second half two very good goal balls to his teammates shortly before giving way to the 77th.
See you on Saturday at the Vélodrome
Wahbi Khazri equalized in the 21st, his cross shot at the entrance to the right corner of the area leaving no chance for Simon Ngapandouetnbu, the Marseille goalkeeper, who came to replace Steve Mandanda five minutes earlier, left with a small injury to the left thigh .
Marseille generally dominated the debates, with a Payet still in legs who almost scored with a nice diving header.
The Marseille playmaker left his place at half-time, as did Nemanja Radonjic.
The winning goal came from Alvaro Gonzales, who came into play in the 65th, on a corner kick taken in the 88th by Cengiz Ünder who had replaced the Serbian winger.
On Saturday, the Olympians face Villarreal for the return of the supporters to the Vélodrome.
