Strasbourg managed to hold Marseille
to a 2-2 draw on Saturday. Nasri gave OM the lead in
the 47th minute but Abdessadki scored a goal to make
the score 1-1 in the 51st minute. In the 67th minute,
Carlier added a 2nd goal for Strasbourg but OM leveled
the score five minutes later. Egyptian midfielder Hosni
Abd Rabo played the full game while Abo Mosallam remained
on bench.
The game took place at Marseille's home stadium, the
Velodrome. Hosni Abd Rabo was in the main line-up but
Abo Mosallam started and remained on the subs bench
as the Ivorian international left back Boka started
the game in his place.
Olympique Marseille's Nasri gave the homeside the lead
in the 47th minute of the game but Yasine Abdelsadki
managed to level the score after a fine assist from
Boka.
In the 67th minute, Boka provided another fine assist
to Carlier who managed
to beat Barthez and scored. However, OM equalized five
minutes later through Cana.
Despite the good result, it will not make a difference
for Strasbourg as they already got relegated.
It should be noted that Hosni Abd Rabo and Abo Mosallam's
future at the club is in doubt as they will unlikely
stay at the club after relegation especially after most
of the key players will be transferred to other clubs.
Reports suggested that the Ivorian striker Amara Diane is
currently a target for many French top clubs as they consider
him as the new Drogba. In addition to this, the Swedish midfielder
Farnerud is also close to a move to Sherif Ekrami's Feyenoord.
So, it will not be a surprise if Hosny and Abo Mosallam moved
to other clubs either in France or otherwise in the coming
transfer window.
