Sporting scored late on to come from behind and beat ten-man Marseille in the Champions League.

Alisson Santos cut inside then curled in with his right foot in the 86th minute to reward the Portuguese side's consistent second-half pressure.

Geny Catamo's 69th-minute curling effort into the bottom corner had cancelled out Igor Paixao's brilliant first-half goal from the edge of the penalty box.

The equaliser came after Marseille's Emerson was shown a second yellow card in first-half stoppage time for diving in an attempt to win a penalty, forcing Roberto de Zerbi's side to play the entire second half with 10 men.

The Ligue 1 side were on course for a second victory in Europe this season after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang set up Paixao to net his third goal of the competition this year.

But Sporting's resilience eventually paid off and victory moves them up to 12th in the table with two wins and a loss, while Marseille are 18th with two defeats and one win.
