Marseille trip as they hold 0-0 vs Montpellier
After two straight wins, Marseille were held to a 0-0 draw by Montpellier on Matchday 3 of Arkema Première Ligue.
Marseille suffered their first stumble of the Arkema Première Ligue season. As L'Équipe reports, the Marseillaises were unable to break down Montpellier, finishing 0-0 on Saturday evening in the closing match of the third round.
First setback
Coming off two wins in their first two league games, Marseille expected to keep the momentum going. Instead, the game stayed goalless, with Montpellier doing enough to hold the visitors back.
Still in the mix
Even with the drop points, L'Équipe states that Marseille remain in the top three, so the result isn’t a major derailment. Still, after starting so strongly, settling for a draw rather than a victory means the next match will be crucial to get back on track.
For now, it’s a quiet night in front of goal: no goals, one point, and a reminder that the competition will tighten up quickly as the table starts to take shape.
