Bilal Nadir confirms match after match that he has become one of the main offensive forces of OM. Back at the Vélodrome, the Marseillais struggled for a long time against an effective and realistic TFC. From the 15th minute, Emersonn broke down the left side, evaded Nayef Aguerd, and opened the scoring with a crossed shot. Despite a challenging first half and some defensive scares, Marseille remained in the game.
Upon returning from the locker room, Nadir took control of the game. In the 60th minute, he attempted a powerful shot over the goal, before being rewarded seven minutes later. The young midfielder delivered a perfect pass behind the Toulouse defense for Paixão, who eliminated Restes and equalized (67th). The Vélodrome came alive and OM turned the tide.
Substituted in the 76th minute to applause, Nadir was the key architect of the Olympian comeback. A pivotal player in the match, he was named man of the match and raised his total to four assists this season, making him the 3rd best assister in Ligue 1, just behind Aubameyang.
However, at the end of stoppage time, OM let slip two precious points, as Toulouse snatched a frustrating draw thanks to a header from Hidalgo (2-2).
