Sporting vs Marseille

At the halfway point, Marseille sit bottom of their Champions League. Their win against 10-man Sporting Lisbon last week kept their dream of qualification ...

The former came of injured in last week’s fixture against Sporting, whilst the latter missed last weekend’s game against Ajaccio. The win in the Champions League gave them their first points of the campaign, although it was insufficient to lift them off the bottom of Group D. At the halfway point, Marseille sit bottom of their Champions League.

A combined effort by Hidemasa Morita and Nuno Santos helped Rúben Amorim's side claim three points on the road to Santa Clara in the Liga Pro last weekend.

However, some key players were preparing for the clash with Sporting. For the French club, a favourable outcome pulls them back into contention. The Phocaeans visit the José Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon.

Two wins in two matches have given a much-needed boost to Marseille's chances of reaching the last 16 of the Champions League.

Matters went from bad to worse for Sporting in the 61st when midfielder Pedro Gonçalves was shown two yellow cards in a matter of seconds and also sent off. Harit was also involved in Marseille’s second goal, 10 minutes later, with a cross for Alexis Sánchez to tap in. Esgaio’s second yellow card also saw him concede a penalty for a foul on Amine Harit.

The contest was effectively over when Goncalves collected two yellow cards within two minutes and was sent off in the 60th minute. Marseille took the lead in the 20th minute when Guendouzi scored a penalty after Esgaio, who picked up a second yellow card in the process, collided with Amine Harit. Matteo Guendouzi and Alexis Sanchez scored before the break as Sporting, who were down to 10 men in the reverse fixture at the Velodrome last week when they lost 4-1, lost Ricardo Esgaio and Pedro Goncalves to red cards either side of the interval.

Goalkeeper Franco Israel came in for the suspended Antonio Adán, Pedro Porro was not yet deemed fit enough to start, Ricardo Esgaio taking the right wing-back ...

Nevertheless, the ten-man home team could not maintain any concerted pressure and were failing to make inroads into the Marseille defence. Goalkeeper Franco Israel came in for the suspended Antonio Adán, Pedro Porro was not yet deemed fit enough to start, Ricardo Esgaio taking the right wing-back role, and up front Paulinho was benched as Sporting went with the Trincão-Edwards-Pote front line. Barely half and hour gone and Sporting were two goals and one man down. However, the VAR check proved fatal for Sporting as the goal was validated. It was déjà vu for Sporting against Marseille in a forgettable Champions League night for the home supporters at the José Alvalade stadium. With neither side initially able to make headway against two aggressive and well-organised defences, the opening minutes were marked by the loud jeers directed at former Benfica full-back Nuno Tavares.
