Lyon survive scare

Striker Mamadou Niang headed a last-gasp goal from Franck Ribery's corner to give Marseille a 1-0 extra-time win at Le Mans.

"We knew we could make a difference on set pieces at the end and that's what we did by scoring from the last corner," Ribery said.

Five-times league champions Lyon, who have not won the Cup since 1973, were given a fright when Laon striker Vincent Koffmann scored on 20 minutes.

Gerard Houllier's team equalised eight minutes later through Francois Clerc before a flick from Govou put Lyon ahead midway through the second half.

Striker Fred wrapped up the win with a spectacular volley five minutes from time.

"We made it hard on ourselves tonight. We should have scored at least two goals in the first half," said Houllier.

Lyon are still gunning for four trophies. Houllier's men have a 14-point lead in Ligue 1, play AS Roma in the Champions League first knockout round next month and meet Girondins Bordeaux in the League Cup final in March.
