On alternating current, OM defeated Qarabag (3-1), Thursday, February 17, in the first leg of the play-offs for the Europa League Conference. First dominated by an uninhibited and enthusiastic Azerbaijani team, Marseille planted twice by their striker Arkadiusz Milik at the end of the first period.
But, probably too passive, the Olympians conceded many chances in the second half. Kady reduced the mark in the last minutes, allowing his teammates to believe it. But Dimitri Payet closed the debates in stoppage time, giving more relief to the success of his team.
The Phocaeans’ advance mattress will be comfortable to move to Baku next Thursday. Even with the abolition of the away goals rule, it will nevertheless be necessary to remain serious to avoid an elimination which would be frankly unfortunate.
