"Igor Paixao cut in from the left to bend in a wonderful 18-yard effort after racing onto Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's throughball to put Marseille ahead after 14 minutes but a huge flash point before half-time altered the context of the game. Emerson Palmieri was originally awarded a penalty after referee Rade Obrenovic felt he was fouled by Maximiliano Araujo but the official changed his mind after a visit to the pitch-side monitor and showed the full-back a second yellow and subsequent red card for simulation."
"Geovany Quenda hit the post before Sporting did get their equaliser when substitute Geny Catamo slotted home, the goal awarded after being originally ruled out for offside. Alisson Santos then secured the turnaround with four minutes remaining with a deflected effort off Benjamin Pavard after a mazy run, moving Sporting to 12th and leaving Marseille 18th in the league phase."
Sporting CP overturned an early Igor Paixao strike to beat Marseille 2-1 at Estadio Jose Alvalade. A potential Marseille penalty was overturned after the referee consulted the pitch-side monitor and he issued Emerson Palmieri a second yellow for simulation, reducing Marseille to ten men. Geny Catamo levelled after initially being ruled offside, and Alisson Santos netted a late, deflected winner. The result moved Sporting to 12th and left Marseille 18th in the Champions League group phase. Elsewhere, Atalanta were held to a goalless draw by Slavia Prague despite chances and a potential penalty check.
