Croatia Zagreb 1 Olympique Marseille 2

OM scored after only five minutes but then struggled to contain the home side until a late surge brought them victory.

Ibrahim Bakayoko deflected a cross wide of goalkeeper Drazen Ladic to put the French side ahead and into the lead of Group D.

Croatia were nervous in the first session but improved immediately in the second half and were level in the 64th minute when substitute Tomas Sokota was allowed to meet a cross that ran across the area with a close range finish. This boosted the home team's confidence which had been wrecked when Josip Stimic had missed an open goal in the 38th minute and Igor Biscan fired against the post in the 44th minute.

Sebastien Perez edged OM in front with an excellent volley in the 77th minute when he met a Stephane Dalmat cross on the full for a well timed finish. There was still time for Zagreb to hit the post again in the 77th minute when Miljenko Mumlec shot at the frame of the goal.
