00:00 Marseille ready to host Lens in what is always a big clash in Ligue 1.
00:06 Two of the best supported clubs, two of the most passionate sets of fans in France
00:10 go head-to-head today.
00:13 We're underway at the Velodrome, Marseille against Lens in Liga action.
00:21 Two teams, it's really win or bust for both of them so we might have an exciting match today.
00:28 Marseille hosting Lens, they've lost their last three matches against Lens.
00:33 You've got to go back ten years since Marseille beat Lens at this ground, 2014.
00:39 First touch for Murillo who is actually playing down the right.
00:44 First chance maybe for... Marseille has come in!
00:47 And they've scored, would you believe it? Within one minute!
00:51 It's Mr Reliable, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
00:55 It's the 14th goal of the season in the league and they couldn't have had a better start.
01:02 It's Aubameyang, one, Lens nil and OM have the early advantage.
01:07 Aubameyang prowling there, was a nice ball played in, missed by two defenders.
01:16 Haidara won't be happy about that but Aubameyang didn't need a second chance.
01:24 And Aubameyang has done it again!
01:26 Part of the stands are closed today, it's a super atmosphere for Olympique Marseille.
01:38 Some defending to do though.
01:41 Wahey! Couldn't get that goal, nearly Wahey but he had plenty of space.
01:52 Wahey's had one chance and he's prowling for a second one and that's just wide.
01:56 Jonathan close his corner, it's all the way to the far post and my word there were two headers in there.
02:05 Aubameyang with the first, Pap Gueye with the second.
02:08 It wasn't far, Benfica on penalties.
02:12 Oh suddenly they've let... it's a chance for Eli Wahey who has put it wide.
02:19 Well that was a real chance to silence some of the critics.
02:22 Wahey ahead of the game, saying missing chances is part of the profession of being a forward.
02:28 Aubameyang, suddenly Aubameyang is through.
02:31 Aubameyang good save from Samba.
02:33 Oh he had two great chances.
02:35 Harit turning the defence into attack.
02:40 Jonathan close, oh that's a good ball over.
02:43 Is this going to be a second for Marseille?
02:45 Just wide. It's an effort from Voutou, he's scored too many goals.
02:51 Just plied.
02:53 A lot of space, Voutou.
02:59 Wrong side of the post as far as he's concerned.
03:06 Second goal it seems for him.
03:10 He's been clattered but I think it's a beat, no foul.
03:14 Frankowski, it's a decent chance and Sotokamp was offside.
03:19 Much to the relief of Marseille.
03:22 There, you can see that was one of the easier decisions that Martin Boulton will make tonight.
03:38 Medina to Danso.
03:40 Pulls through is a decent one for a corner.
03:44 Sotokamp liked it.
03:48 Forgini's corner.
03:53 Will Marseille deal with it? Mendy!
03:55 Wow, ended up needing a decent save.
03:57 Oh Lopez.
03:59 And Neymar win.
04:03 Forgini, a bit of space.
04:07 A drop and it did to Machado.
04:10 Machado, in a decent position, a good save from Lopez.
04:16 It's the fullback offside.
04:21 No flag went up as it certainly did there.
04:24 So it wouldn't have counted.
04:26 Whilst they clear their lines, Frankowski.
04:29 Haidara.
04:32 Suddenly everyone back for Marseille.
04:34 And a brilliant save from Lopez.
04:36 And Marseille just about dealing with that one after Danso.
04:40 From point blank range.
04:43 For the hosts, this was the chance.
04:45 Danso rose well.
04:47 And that was a top class save from the Spanish keeper.
04:52 Everything right there, might have wanted to guide it a little bit more to the left or right of the keeper.
04:58 And good defensive work again from Belairdi.
05:02 That was brave stuff.
05:04 As Sotika was ready to pounce.
05:07 Marseille have an excellent home record this season.
05:20 They've only lost against PSG.
05:21 Eight wins, six draws.
05:23 It's their away form that's really let them down.
05:27 So perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised that it's 1-0.
05:30 He'll have a second one today.
05:35 But his team are defending.
05:36 It's just got whipped in there.
05:39 Sotika with the touch.
05:42 He thought there was a corner.
05:44 Don't think he's going to get it.
05:45 I think his first touch of the football.
05:49 Rerre De Costa puts it in.
05:53 Danso with the header.
05:55 Really disappointed he didn't get more on that.
05:58 Now to put it into the box.
06:00 Cleared by Sotika.
06:01 Back goalwards.
06:03 No problems for Samba at all.
06:05 Who is really looking to get on with things.
06:08 Sissoubatou with a breakthrough play.
06:16 The youngster on from Machado.
06:22 But the other end.
06:28 Cross from close.
06:29 The turn.
06:30 Garcia.
06:33 To close.
06:37 Problems there.
06:40 Marseille beginning to think it out.
06:43 Just getting over the line with three points.
06:46 It'll be a tough game.
06:48 There's an equaliser from nowhere from Lons.
06:52 Lons have their equaliser.
06:54 And it is the substitute.
06:56 Said with I think his first touch of the match.
07:01 Has put it into the net.
07:04 A super finish from Wesley Said who scored the winner.
07:08 In a 3-2 win a few seasons ago.
07:12 And he's struck again.
07:14 It's a super cross and Said's header was unstoppable.
07:18 And it's 1-1.
07:21 Jean-Louis Gasset will be really frustrated in the end.
07:39 Shaking his head.
07:41 The sub Sar.
07:46 To launch something for Marseille.
07:48 Aubameyang sprints.
07:49 Sar.
07:50 Sar.
07:52 Saved by Sambat.
07:53 Aubameyang screaming for the ball but he didn't get it.
07:56 It's one apiece.
07:59 Said's equaliser.
08:01 After a very early goal from Lons.
08:06 Marseille pick it up.
08:07 Aubameyang a real chance for the winner.
08:09 Said's done it.
08:10 Marseille have the second goal.
08:15 And the stadium erupts.
08:19 After going down to 1-1.
08:22 Marseille have responded quickly.
08:25 It was where it was given to them.
08:29 It was a very good game.
08:31 And it's 1-1.
08:33 It was where it was given away.
08:36 It came through.
08:38 To Gueye.
08:39 Who just guided it in.
08:41 And so it was with the last touch.
08:48 Set up by Gueye and the substitute.
08:53 Just showing a bit of composure when he needed to.
08:56 Possession, more passes.
08:58 Plenty of shots.
08:59 Had one goal.
09:01 It's not going to prove enough.
09:02 Three wins on the bounce in Marseille.
09:04 Looks like that run is coming to an end.
09:07 D'Huve, D'Huve tries his luck.
09:12 Not far.
09:13 Substitute having to go from distance.
09:16 It's a shoot back.
09:31 Lost with maybe a last chance.
09:33 Are they going to get a corner?
09:34 And the game is over.
09:40 What a great victory for All-Big Marseille.
09:43 They have just won 2-1 against Lyon.
09:46 And they are sitting seventh.
09:48 All-Star Game.
09:49 All-Star Game.
09:51 All-Star Game.
