Marseille draws 2-2 with Lyon in French league.
Marseille midfielder Benoit Cheyrou fired into the bottom corner to open
the scoring in the 16th minute. Brazilian striker Brandao volleyed home
a cross from Morgan Amalfitano to double Marseille s lead in the 34th.
Lyon pulled one back with a close-range effort from Bafetimbi Gomis in
the 36th before leveling from an own goal by Marseille center back
Souleymane Diawara in the 45th. "We got off to a poor start," Lyon
goalkeeper Hugo Lloris said. "We conceded two goals that were a bit
stupid. We could have avoided the first goal. "Both Lyon and Marseille
don t have much maneuvering room left." Lyon remained in fourth place,
10 points behind leader Paris Saint-Germain and one clear of Marseille.
"It s a big disappointment for us," Marseille midfielder Alou Diarra
said. "We paid dearly for lacking focus for a split second and allowed
Lyon to rally. "We still have to go and get points to finish at least in
third place." PSG defeated Evian 3-1 on Saturday to keep a three-point
lead over second-place Montpellier at the top of the league. Also, it
was: Montpellier 1, Brest 0; Nancy 0, Rennes 0; Bordeaux 2, Toulouse 0;
Dijon 1, Valenciennes 2; and Ajaccio 1, Nice 1. Three games were
postponed because of a frozen pitch following a cold snap. Match between
Saint-Etienne and Lorient was abandoned after 10 minutes. Sunday s
matches pitting Sochaux against Lille and Caen against Auxerre were
called off, too. The French league has not set a new date for the
postponed matches. Marseille created the first chance in the second
minute when fullback Jeremy Morel charged down the left flank to make a
low cross for Morgan Amalfitano, who controlled the ball before curling a
shot over the bar.
