Frankfurt wins by 1-0 over Marseille in Champions League amid fans' clash

Careless defending cost Marseille again in the Champions League as it lost 1-0 at home to Europa League winner Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday. Coach Igor Tudor's side is unbeaten in the French league but lacks a cutting edge at this level. Marseille looked organized and untroubled, just like last week against Tottenham, but fell behind in the 43rd minute after a defensive error allowed attacking midfielder Jesper Lindstrm to score. Japan midfielder Daichi Kamada thought he had made it 2-0 in the 79th but his effort was ruled out for offside. Tottenham's 2-0 loss at Sporting in the other Group D game means Sporting takes charge with six points, having beaten Frankfurt 3-0 last week in Germany. Tottenham and Frankfurt have three points, with Spurs in second place on goal difference and Marseille last. It was a hostile atmosphere at Stade Velodrome, where riot police intervened before kickoff and late on to quell disorder as opposing fans threw flares and fireworks at each other. A .
