Round 11 review: Classique ends in draw, Nice stun OL | OneFootball

Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain cancel each other out, Nice stage the unlikeliest of comebacks and Saint-Etienne stay bottom despite a spirited display. With 29 goals scored and six red cards dished out, Round 11 of Ligue 1 Uber Eats was not short on drama. Check out the best of the action here!

Stalemate at the Velodrome Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain drew 0-0 at a packed Orange Velodrome, with the visitors reduced to ten-men after the second-half dismissal of Achraf Hakimi. Both side's had goals ruled out for offside in the opening period, despite the visitors enjoying the lion's share of possession.

Morocco international Hakimi was given his marching orders for bringing down OM forward Cengiz Under on the edge of the penalty area (57') but despite the numerical advantage, Marseille were unable to break down a solid PSG backline as le classique ended goalless for the first time since October 2016.

"There were some positive things to take from the game," said PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino who is now unbeaten in his three games against OM since taking over at the capital club. "The team was solid, we showed character and we were well organised, both with and without the ball. It's a shame to have played with ten-men for nearly 40 minutes. But even under these conditions, we controlled the game.

Reflecting on the result, OM coach Jorge Sampaoli said: "We had opportunities, but what we missed was the finishing touch. Overall, I think the draw is a fair result."

Ten-man Lyon crumble at Nice

Then, OL striker Tino Kadewere was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge (85'). A galvanised Nice drew level through a Andy Delort penalty (89') before substitute Evann Guessand snatched a dramatic winner in the dying seconds.

"For 80 minutes, we were unable to impose ourselves the way we wanted," said a jubilant Nice coach Christophe Galtier. "This victory will strengthen our squad. Lyon are a very good team but the character we showed to come back in the final ten minutes will make me reflect on my selections going forward."

"In life, there are difficult times, but we must continue to react, work and not stop. It's difficult to accept but we will continue to work, fight, and be more positive."
