AP, Reims :
Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac scored his 13th goal in the French league this season to salvage a 1-1 draw with Reims on Friday.
Reims midfielder Antoine Devaux headed a cross from Franck Signorino into the top corner to put the hosts ahead in the 67th minute.
But a blunder from Kossi Agassa cost Reims the victory. Gignac tucked the ball into an empty net in the 80th after the Reims goalkeeper failed to punch away a cross from Marseille rightback Rod Fanni.
Marseille remained in sixth place, one point clear of Reims. Securing a Champions League spot will prove difficult for Marseille as last season’s runner-up trails third-place Lille by eight points.
“I’m not satisfied,” Marseille coach Jose Anigo said. “One point is fine, but it’s not what we were looking for.”
Paris Saint-Germain tops the league with an eight-point lead over Monaco. PSG hosts Saint-Etienne on Sunday while Monaco visits Lyon and Bordeaux faces Montpellier.
On Saturday, it’s: Lille vs. Nantes; Ajaccio vs. Guingamp; Evian vs. Valenciennes; Nice vs. Bastia; Rennes vs. Toulouse; and Sochaux vs. Lorient.
