Fletcher on target in Marseille win

Scotland striker Steven Fletcher marked his first start for new side Marseille with a goal in their 2-0 French Cup win against minnows Trelissac on Thursday.

Fletcher played the full 90 minutes of the last-16 tie in Bordeaux against fourth-tier opponents and secured OM's victory when he converted an Abdelaziz Barrada centre late on.

That came after he teed up Romain Alessandrini for a fine opening goal in the first half as Marseille progressed to the quarter-finals despite a battling performance by Trelissac, the tiny outfit from the Dordogne in south-western France who had eliminated Lille on penalties in the last round.

Marseille, who won the last of their 10 French Cups back in 1989, will now face fifth-tier amateurs Granville from Normandy at home in the quarter-finals next month.

Holders Paris Saint-Germain progressed to the last eight by beating Lyon 3-0 at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday with Zlatan Ibrahimovic netting twice.

Nantes, Lorient, Saint-Etienne and Gazelec Ajaccio are the other Ligue 1 teams in the quarter-finals, with second-tier Sochaux completing the line-up.
