FOOTBALL 2007-2008 Marseille - Djibril Cisse - 0

Marseille, without a trophy since lifting the 1993 European Cup, thrilled the home fans with an exciting display.

Midfielder Valbuena scored with a powerful shot from 25 metres and an astute lob from the edge of the box, earning a standing ovation from the Velodrome crowd when he was substituted in the second half.

France playmaker Samir Nasri wrapped up the scoring in the 81st minute for Marseille, who climbed two spots in the table to eighth.

Third-placed Nancy were held to a 0-0 draw at struggling Auxerre in a match that kicked off 30 minutes late because of thick fog.

Leaders Lyon and second-placed Bordeaux are in action on Sunday, away to St Etienne and Lorient respectively.
