Marseille produced a commanding comeback to beat Angers 5-2 away from home in the seventh round of the French championship.
Angers made the stronger start and took the lead in the 14th minute when Lilian Raolisoa found the net. Marseille responded before half-time, however, turning the match around with two goals in the space of six minutes.
Himad Abdelli brought the visitors level in the 37th minute before Nouhoum Kamissoko completed the turnaround shortly before the interval, putting Marseille 2-1 ahead in the 43rd minute.
The visitors extended their advantage after the break. Amine Gouiri scored Marseille’s third goal in the 60th minute, leaving Angers needing to find a response to stay in contention.
The home side were given hope when Amine El Ouazzani converted a penalty in the 75th minute, reducing the deficit to 3-2.
That revival was short-lived. Amine Harit restored Marseille’s two-goal advantage in the 83rd minute, and Igor Paixao added another just two minutes later to complete a convincing away victory.
