What happened, Olympique?

Minute 35 of the match at Stade Velodrome. Marseille leads Lyon 2-0. Brandao has just scored a cool goal. And OM looks in total control.

But that's as good as it would get for the team from the south of France.

One minute later, a Brazilian-like, playful, training-ground flick from Briand, with his heel, puts the ball, randomly but conveniently, right at the foot of Gomis, who makes it 2-1.
Lucky for Lyon.
Okay, but Marseille still should win this game.
But not only does Marseille fail to score any other goal, but daydreamer Diawara makes sure to beat his own goalkeeper with a clearance that would shame even an amateur beginner. (And this guy played at an international country-level tournament like the African Cup of Nations?...) He gifts Lyon the draw, and with the last kick of the first half, too, unfortunately for his team.

The second half is lackluster, and the score remains unchanged.
