MARSEILLE, France : Olympique de Marseille's chances of reaching the knockout phase of the Champions League were dented when they were beaten 1-0 at home by Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday, their second defeat in as many games.
OM, who lost five of their six games in the 2020-21 season, fell victim to a Jesper Lindstrom second-half goal that put Europa League champions Eintracht in third place in Group D on three points.
Sporting lead with a maximum six points after beating second-placed Tottenham Hotspur 2-0.
Marseille next host Sporting while Tottenham will travel to Frankfurt in the next round of matches on Oct. 4.
