Decisive figure sparks Marseille comeback against Lyon | OneFootball

Igor Paixão levelled in the 52nd minute with a superb strike, then later created the equaliser as Marseille beat Lyon 3-2.

Introduced at the break, the Brazilian quickly shifted the tempo for Les Olympiens, finding space on the edge of the box and rifling into the top right corner (52.).

He then delivered from a corner to set up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for 2-2, a dead ball that Les Gones could not defend (81.).

Across 45 minutes he produced one goal and one assist, three successful dribbles, and eight successful final third passes from 14 of 17 overall, giving Les Phocéens incision when they most needed it.

His direct running and tidy combinations kept Les Gones' back line off balance, allowing Les Phocéens to play higher and sustain pressure through the closing stages.

Les Phocéens host Toulouse in the Coupe de France next. Les Gones welcome Lens in the Coupe de France quarter-finals.
