OM: highs and lows from the 1-1 draw with Olympic Charleroi | OneFootball

On Monday evening in Belgium, OM was held to a draw by Olympic Charleroi (1-1) in their second pre-season friendly match. A mixed result that reveals the first lessons about the state of form of the Phocaeans. Here's a look back at the tops and flops of this match.

The Tops

Mason Greenwood

Entering in the second half, the English striker scored a superb goal in the top corner in the 69th minute, his fourth in two days after his hat-trick on Sunday, and revived OM. A remarkable offensive performance.

Angel Gomes

Very active in the heart of the game, he stood out for his volume of play and defensive interventions, particularly a crucial tackle on a Belgian counter-attack in the 75th minute.

Collective defensive solidity after the break

After a complicated first half, OM stabilized their block and limited the opponent's incursions, except for a few well-contained alerts thanks to interventions like those of Gomes and captain Balerdi.

The Flops

The "B" block in the first half

The starters in the first half were caught off guard on a lethal counter: Roman Ferber opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, taking advantage of an ill-adapted alignment. Lack of concentration in positioning.

Offensive approximations

Many opportunities were wasted by Harit, Rabiot, Gouiri, or Rowe, with a lack of precision in controls and decisive phases. Too bad, especially since OM dominated possession.
