    Time:90'
    • Marseille
    • Besiktas
    • 90+2 Final whistle, comfortable win in the end for Marseille but hardly an easy ride!
    • 90' Cisse takes the ball on his chest and turns Diatta, bustling him to the ground in the process, and he bursts on goal and toe pokes it before the defenders reach him and it goes in! Shocking goalkeeping, and quite possibly a foul, but Marseille lead 2-0! And Cisse is quite literally on his knees, crying and punching the ground he is so overcome with emotion.
    • 88' Marseille sub: Last action for Nasri, Mbami replaces him.
    • 88' Nasri now carded for a quite frankly pointless trip.
    • 81' The card-happy ref loves the histrionics of the Besiktas players and books Valbuena for a challenge that could have been dealt with verbally.
    • 78' Nasri is down injured now... the medics are on but he'll be ok.
    • 76' Corner to Marseille, on the left, Nasri to take.. he swigns it into the six yard box but it curls wickedly at the death and comes off the bottom of the far post with the keeper stranded AND RODRIGUEZ SLIDES IN TO PUT IT IN THE EMPTY NET FOR 1-0!! Marseille take the lead!
    • 65' Cisse now enters the book...
    • 63' Koray chops down Ziani in full flight and gets a yellow... free-kick is wasted though.
    • 55' Niang on the left turns his marker and lets rip from just outside the area but the shot flies well over.
    • 52' Ziani on the ball on the right, he storms through two challenges and holds off the defender and he's free and hammers the shot on goal but tipped over by Arikan!
    • 50' Kas is now booked for Besiktas after preventing a free-kick from being taken.
    • 47' Julien Rodriguez is booked for giving away a free-kick on the Besiktas right that causes problems but is headed behind for a corner.
    • 46' Second half underway!
    • 45+4 And that is the half-time whistle, 1-1 in Marseille.
    • 45+3 Long ball over the top almost sends Niang clean through but, oh dear, he totally misses the ball.
    • 45+1 Kas is still being helped off the pitch after that challenge....
    • 45' Yellow card for Faty for a scissor challenge. They like them, Marseille do.
    • 42' Bosingwa goes down after what can only be described as a tickle by Babel, nonsense.
    • 41' Cisse with a pretty rudimentary challenge on Ricardinho, who is carried off with a sore knee...
    • 31' Another scare for Besiktas as Toraman comes off but he'll be ok...
    • 26' Early sub for Besiktas, Kurtulan comes off injured, Kas in his place
    • 20' After initially being dominated by Marseille, Beisktas are coming back into the match with a bit more possession...
    • 10' Kurtulus fouls Niang on the Marseille left, he seems to have picked up a knock, about 35 yards out... It's drilled in low and the Besiktas defence miss it and it falls to CISSE but he can only fire straight at the keeper! He was surprised enough to see that reach him and fluffed the finish!
    • 3' Niang almost gets clear again with Besiktas desperately defending to keep him at bay.
    • 2' Niang is almost played through by Zenden but the defence re-organises and shepherd it back to Arikan.
    • 1' Match underway at Stade Velodrome...
    • - Hello and welcome to eurosport.com's LIVE coverage of Marseille v Besiktas in Group A of the Champions League - the same group as last year's finallists Liverpool. From 19:45, with goal updates and key actions.

  • Summary
