00:00Marseille put their brilliant away record on the line tonight here in Auxerre against opponents
00:10who have proven very difficult to beat in their own stadium this season. The incentive though
00:15is there for OM to provisionally claw a few points back on the runaway leaders Paris Saint-Germain
00:22and more pertinently just to keep the chasing pack beneath them very much at arm's length.
00:29Automatic qualification for next season's Champions League is the big aim in this
00:34campaign for Roberto Deserbi's Marseille side. The opponents this evening just looking to keep
00:40a safe distance away. As we expected our dominating possession Auxerre were prepared for that.
00:49Marking this week on the training ground which is just behind the main stand where I'm situated here.
00:55Sean comes in for Mason Greenwood looking to add to his 14 Ligue 1 goals.
01:06And then Junior Traore with the switch of play now for Gaetan Perrin, Auxerre's number 10.
01:14Perrin kills one, it's a fabulous goal from Gaetan Perrin. Auxerre take the lead against Marseille.
01:26Here for his role in Auxerre's run to promotion he's really
01:32taken to Ligue 1 like a duck to water this season, he's been brilliant. 28 year old.
01:41Auxerre is fouled by Cornelius and that will be a boot kick.
01:56Guiri turning, Guiri shot is blocked by Auxerre and Auxerre can break the Mensa,
02:02maybe tied for one last chance for the home team before the halftime whistle goes.
02:07Junior Traore in the penalty box looking for Bayer in the middle, it's 2-0, incredible.
02:21Now Roberto N'Zerbi is pointing to opposite penalty area, he clearly feels that there should
02:26be a check here and that there might be a decision going Marseille's way at the other end but
02:33play went on, Auxerre broke forward and Ahmed Junior Traore's ball into the middle
02:38is swept in by Theo Bayer.
02:43That's on Marseille are unhappy about Merlin going down at the other end.
02:50It looks unlikely that they're going to get anything for that.
02:56The goal does not stand because of an offside, so no question of that.
03:06So it's halftime, the Stadio de l'Opera de Champagne, Auxerre is heading into the break
03:13with a one-nil lead over Marseille. 45 minutes down, 45 minutes to go,
03:19let's see what happened on the sports.
03:26It is Auxerre who get us underway in the second half, leading Marseille by a goal to nil.
03:32Goal scored by Gaetan Perrin was worthy of winning pretty much every game, it's a brilliant hit.
03:39Just touching on the other games played today, Lille beating Monaco, Saint-Etienne
03:57held a 3-3 draw by Auxerre, well move on in the not too distant future, maybe go back to his homeland.
04:03A Marseille team tonight with Amine Gouiri leading the line,
04:08Luis Enrique coming in off the right and squares it for Gouiri and turns it in.
04:12Five minutes into the second half, Marseille are level, it's another goal for Amine Gouiri.
04:18Already his third in a Marseille shirt, Luis Enrique with the assist, squaring it to Gouiri
04:25at the back post, just the start of the second half that they were looking for.
04:31Remember they were almost two nil down right at the end of the first half,
04:36Auxerre had the ball when Greenwood played the pass to Luis Enrique,
04:42he was offside and that goal will not stand either and it's not 1-1,
04:46it's still 1-0 to Auxerre and Gouiri does not yet have his third goal for his new club.
05:01Gouiri has a lovely ball, Greenwood this time to make it 1-1 though, his first touch wasn't the best.
05:11Yellow card given to Keanu Hoover for the earlier challenge.
05:23Cornelius with the intervention, Cornelius was a bit high, a bit dangerous in the challenge,
05:29it's a second booking for the Canadian, it's a red card and Marseille are down to 10 men.
05:41Well this is the challenge, in goes Cornelius and he plays the ball, he follows through and he
05:48really catches Traore who's still down. Peral will swing this in towards the back post,
05:53Rulli gets a touch to it, Mbappé hooks it away.
06:06Oh it's a slip that might just benefit Traore, his effort is stopped by the goalkeeper and the
06:10follow-up is wide from the Ivorian, Hane and Junior Traore once again proving to be a threat here.
06:19Well this was the chance, the mistake by Kondogbia, allowing the ball to come to Traore.
06:27Gouiri to take the corner, Marseille another threat from
06:31these situations and the header is over the bar. Mid-December.
06:39Fit again and the team are at the edge of the penalty box and Danois sending
06:46Sina Joko away, Lassine Sina Joko through on goal,
06:50tries to a run, Rulli's brought down, just inside the box it will be a penalty.
06:59A yellow card for the goalkeeper, Sina Joko will be disappointed that he's not scored there but
07:06they still have the chance to extend their leads from the penalty spot.
07:11Of course Marseille have to take these risks now, leaving themselves wide open at the back as they
07:16go forward in search of an equalizer at the other end but they might have a mountain to
07:20climb in a minute because if Uce converts the penalty it's going to be a very long way back
07:26indeed for Marseille. Lassine Sina Joko, Uce are fans here, the Brazilian has only got three goals
07:36in Ligue 1 this season, the chance to make it 2-0 to the home side and edge them closer
07:42towards a famous victory, he's done it, he's tucked in the spot kick and it's 2-0 to Uce against Marseille.
07:52Closing in on a second win in the second half and got a goal disallowed
08:06for a close offside call, a man sent off and now the penalty conceded, tucked away
08:14by Jubal whose name the home fans are now seeing in the 31 year old Brazilian centre-back.
08:23His third goal in four games remarkably.
08:35And swinging delivery met by the heads and Leon did just enough there to...
08:41From Dompierre's effort, tiring high above the Uce defense, if not the greatest beating the
08:52mighty Marseille in their own stadium, we're into six added minutes, not quite across the line yet
08:58but they might have a third goal, it's another one for the captain Jubal, it's 3-0 to Uce
09:06and they're leaping up and down on the touchline, the coaching staff and the substitutes down there.
09:15That caps off a remarkable evening for the home team,
09:18a brace for the skipper, the corner helped on at the near post
09:28and Jubal completely unmarked, six yards out, it was Agpo who helped it on
09:34and Jubal who scores the goal and coming into this game there might have been some real concern about
09:40Marseille and set pieces at the other end because
09:45here they come again, Sina Ioko, he's got Unaiwo to his left
09:53Unaiwo tries the shot, stopped by Rulli
