Parc des Princes (45,000 spectators)
Referee: Mr Poulat
October 13th, 2000
PSG 2 - OM 0
At the 62nd minute, Algerino creates danger with a
right-side rush. One more time, Dos Santos is beaten on a decisive play, as Algérino's
pass to the center, falls back right on Laurent Robert, all alone at the second post,
Blondeau having "forgotten" him. Robert's header is un-stoppable for Trévisan.
At the 92nd minute, Anelka steals the ball from
Gallas on the right side of OM's box. He's able to find Christian at the first post. The
brasilian controls the ball with his right foot, Camara in his back, and shoots right away
with the same foot, just near Trévisan's post.

Good news: our defense trio of
N'Gotty, Gallas and Camara is doing better and better. they were, in particular, able to
stop Anelka most of the game. Robert touched one ball that happened to go in the back of
the net, while Christian and Dalmat didn't have their usual output... If only OM was
scoring, we'd be doing pretty good, even more so that we've been playing pretty well
lately. Oh wait, that guy who just arrived could help...
Bad news: Marcelinho announced
when he got here that he'd score 20 goals. Well we've seen two. And that was a while ago.
Although he has a better output than transparent Adriano, Marcel is waisting too many good
passes right now, as he's lost all his confidence. Two duels lost to Letizi in this game,
including one on a great collective play and a would-be-assist by Baka that turn the game
around. Too bad really. here again, let's hope Weah can help.
