Guingamp 2-0 Marseille: Privat and Benezet inflict more misery on OM

Second-half strikes from Sloan Privat and Nicolas Benezet fired Guingamp to a 2-0 win against struggling Marseille in Ligue 1 on Friday.

Marseille's early-season troubles continued on Friday as Sloan Privat and Nicolas Benezet fired Guingamp to a 2-0 victory over Michel's side in Ligue 1.

Privat made up for a missed penalty when he fired home the opening goal with 18 minutes to play at Stade du Roudourou, following superb work from Jimmy Briand.

After Marseille had seen a Mario Lemina strike disallowed, Benezet wrapped up Guingamp's win with a fine finish from distance.

The home side was handed a glorious opportunity to opening the scoring inside three minutes when Lassana Diarra felled Briand inside the penalty area, but Steve Mandanda was on hand to save Privat's weak spot kick.
