    Andre's 89th minute winner sinks Deschamps' men

    Marseille's domestic misery increased as they suffered a late 1-0 defeat to lowly Ajaccio in Ligue 1 on Friday night. Benjamin Andre sent the South Coast club to their fourth consecutive defeat when converting winger Andre Johan Cavalli's 89th minute cross. Marseille, who have not scored a goal during the dreadful run, travel to Inter Milan for their UEFA Champions League last-16 return leg on Tuesday having won the first game 1-0. Didier Deschamps' side stay eighth in Ligue 1 on 39 points from 27 games, eight points short of the third place and a Champions League qualifying spot. Both France internationals Loic Remy and Mathieu Valbuena started on Marseille's bench having not fully overcome injury and failed to make an impact in the second half. Ajaccio had the best chances in the first half but goalkeeper Steve Mandanda saved Damien Tiberi's powerful shot and brilliantly parried an Eduardo header one minute later. Marseille barely threatened in the second half until Jordan Ayew volleyed a Brandao cross only to see goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa deny him the opener in the 85th minute.
