Marseille moved to within a point of Champions League Group C leaders AC Milan and Real Madrid after a comprehensive 6-1 defeat of FC Zurich.
Two set-piece goals in the opening ten minutes – an own-goal from Silvan Aegerter and Fabrice Abriel’s free-kick from out wide – put Marseille two up and in control of the contest.
Alexandre Alphonse pulled one back after 31 minutes, but Marseille restored their two-goal advantage through Mamadou Niang’s strike seven minutes into the second period. Vitorino Hilton, Benoit Cheyrou and Brandao were on target in the final ten minutes to put a gloss on the scoreline as Marseille picked up a second win over the Swiss side in succession.
