Sporting Rallies to Beat Marseille 2-1 After VAR-Triggered Red Card

The loss leaves Marseille on three points from three matches, putting their qualification at risk.

Overview

  • Igor Paixão put OM ahead in the 14th minute before Emerson was dismissed just before half-time after VAR overturned a penalty into a second yellow for simulation.
  • Geny Catamo equalized in the 69th minute with a goal allowed after VAR reversed an offside, and Alisson Santos hit the 86th-minute winner via a Pavard deflection.
  • VAR later downgraded a stoppage-time red card for Maximiliano Araujo to a yellow, capping a night of three decisive reviews.
  • Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang criticized the officiating on Canal+, saying the referees were not at the required level.
  • OM sit 18th with three points from three games in the league-phase standings and host Atalanta on November 5 in a key fixture.
