LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Two wins in two matches have given a much-needed boost to Marseille’s chances of reaching the last 16 of the Champions League. Marseille eased to a 2-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday after the Portuguese side had two players sent off. Sporting also had a player sent off in last week’s 4-1 loss to Marseille. Marseille was bottom of the group after two straight defeats but has now moved second. It is above Sporting on head-to-head record and a point behind Group D leader Tottenham after the English side beat Frankfurt 3-2.
