Olympique de Marseille have leapfrogged Stade Rennais FC into fifth spot in Ligue 1 after completing a 2-1 comeback victory away against the Brittany side.
The visitors fell behind on 14 minutes when Tongo Hamed Doumbia buried the ball from distance via a deflection, and they could have conceded again before levelling against the run of play close to half-time. Loïc Rémy swung in a cross from the left and defender Onyekachi Apam headed the ball into his own net, a moment of good fortune that Marseille built on when Benoît Cheyrou collected Mathieu Valbuena's pass and delivered a fierce finish with 13 minutes to go.
Also on Sunday, AC Ajaccio climbed out of the relegation zone into 15th spot courtesy of a dramatic 2-1 win at Valenciennes FC. Pegged back by Vincent Aboubakar's equaliser shortly after the restart, the Corsican club then lost Paul Lasne to a second yellow card with 16 minutes remaining. Instead of wilting, however, they secured a fourth consecutive league success when substitute Christian Kinkela curled in an added-time winner.
The match between Évian Thonon Gaillard FC and FC Girondins de Bordeaux ended goalless, finally, with Cédric Carrasso provoking and saving a penalty for Bordeaux.
