In fact, in the last 3 matches, Marseille's performance has been quite good and they have won. However, in this match, they were really unlucky. Starting from their deficit in the first half due to a goal from Auxerre in the 34th minute, then what made it worse was the fact that in the 63rd minute, Cornellius from Marseille received a red card. and this was very influential. So that they were further behind by 3 goals without any reply.
But actually, if Marseille could optimize the chances in the attack line, they actually still had very high ball dominance, 8-% ball possession, that should be enough. It's just that, their attacks were easily thwarted by Auxerre players, and the opposing team was better at counter attacks.
Before Derek Cornelius received a red card, Marseille was still able to maintain the rhythm of the match well even though they had conceded since the 35th minute, the lack of players made it difficult for Marseille to keep up with Auxerre, the visiting team had several opportunities to catch up, but their efforts were still very easily thwarted by the home team's players.
The defeat made Marseille's struggle even harder in giving competition to PSG, now the two are separated by a gap of 10 points, it seems that PSG will win the title race again this season because until the 23rd week they have not been touched by defeat.
