Champions League Group C: Marseille 6-1 Zürich
Table of Contents
Olympique Marseille found themselves just a point behind joint group leaders AC Milan and Real Madrid after a 6-1 rout of FC Zürich at the Stade Vélodrome.
The opener came from Fabrice Abriel's superb inswinging free-kick from the left which Silvan Aegerter could only head into his own net at the near post.
Abriel then got on the score-sheet and it was almost a carbon copy of the opening goal, except this time nobody got a touch and the ball flew straight into the corner of the net.
Zürich got back into the game on the half-hour when Alexandre Alphonse hammered the ball home from the edge of the box after a fluid passing move from the visitors.
But their hope was fleeting as Mamadou Niang soon restored his side's two-goal advantage on 52 minutes, lobbing Zürich keeper Johnny Leoni after being played through by a superb one-two with Bakari Koné.
Marseille then moved into overdrive with three goals in the final ten minutes as Hilton, Benoit Cheyrou and Brandão all scored.
