Sampaoli’s Marseille lets another train escape

A late goal by Yoann Touzghar tied Troyes and prevented the victory that Olympique Marseille had on track for Argentine Jorge Sampaoli (1-1), who lost a good opportunity to settle in second place in Ligue 1 after the stumble on Saturday in Nice.

Two games without a win drags Sampaoli’s team that did not know how to close the duel with a rival threatened by relegation, at the Stade de l’Aube.

Marseille took the lead after half an hour when a foul inside the box by Mama Balde was sanctioned with a penalty against the home team. Dimitry Payet did not fail from eleven meters.

The visiting team did not close the commitment against Troyes, increasingly determined to neutralize the disadvantage. The prize for the locals came in the 90th minute when a pass from Youssouf Koné was used by Yoann Touzghar to beat Spaniard Pau López.

The scoreboard leaves Marseille in second place in Ligue 1 but just one point behind Nice, which they equalized against Strasbourg on Saturday. Al Troyes takes him out of the relegation zone. Mark permanence.
