Marseille, Niang stun first-place Lyon

Soccer Betting Lines

11/11/2007 - Lyon, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mamadou Niang scored twice as Marseille broke out of a season-long slump to stun Lyon, 2-1, on Saturday in the French Ligue 1.

Marseille, which finished second in the league last season, entered the match at Stade de Gerland with just two wins this season and trailed the six-time defending champions by 20 points.

Marseille (3-6-5) didn't play like a struggling side, however, wiping out an early goal from Lyon's Juninho on Niang's first strike in the 10th minute and taking the lead for good on his penalty kick in the 43rd.

Goalie Steve Mandanda was also key to Marseille's win, making eight saves.

Lyon (10-3-1) had its 10-game unbeaten streak snapped.

Also on Sunday, Fabrice Abriel scored in the 50th minute as Lorient defeated Toulouse 1-0, and David Bellion had two goals in Bordeaux's 3-0 victory over Rennes.
