In an impressive French Super Cup match, "Marseille" defeated "Lille" 5-4 on Wednesday evening. The owners of the French Cup were trailing 1-3 with five minutes left to play, but managed to put on a real show and snatch the victory against the "Ligue 1" champions. After just eight minutes, "Lille" took the lead with a goal from Florent Balmont, and in the second half, the talented Belgian Eden Hazard took advantage of a mistake by Souleymane Diawara to double the lead. "Marseille" reduced the gap in the 71st minute with a goal from Andre Ayew, but the cup owner seemed clear when Moussa Sow restored "Lille's" two-goal lead after a pass from Ludovic Obraniak - 3-1. However, "Marseille" did not give up and Jeremy Morel brought hope back in the 85th minute, and shortly after Loic Remy restored the balance as usual. "Lille" panicked and gifted the victory to their opponents: in the 90th and 94th minutes, Ayew converted two penalty kicks, with Marco Basa's close-range goal in extra time not enough.
