Lille earns huge win over Marseille

Soccer Betting Lines

05/08/2010 - Lille, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mathieu Debuchy scored in injury time to lead Lille to a 3-2 win over freshly-crowned champions Marseille on Saturday at the Stadium Lille Metropole.

Marseille, which Wednesday secured its first French Ligue 1 title since 1992, led after 80 minutes, but Tulio De Melo scored in the 81st and Debuchy added the game-winner on a header in extra time.

Yohan Cabaye also scored for Lille, which will enter the last week in second - which would secure group stage berth in the Champions League next season.

Auxerre is two points back in third following a 0-0 tie with Lens, and Lyon is four back with a game in hand following a 2-2 draw against Valenciennes.

Mamadou Niang scored in the sixth minute to take over the Ligue 1 scoring lead and hand Marseille and early lead, but Cabaye leveled in the 28th on a penalty kick that resulted from a red card to Marseille goalie Steve Mandanda.

Vitorino Hilton put Marseille back in front before half, but Lille grabbed the two late goals to steal the win.

De Melo scored off a header in the 81st, and Cabaye found Debuchy off a corner four minutes into stoppage time and he converted for the match-winner.

Lyon plays Monaco on Wednesday and, depending on the result, Lille could claim second with just a draw at Lorient next week. Lille would finish second with a win, regardless of how Lyon fares.

Auxerre settled for the scoreless tie, but still holds a Champions League spot as the third-place team. Auxerre has a two-point cushion on Lyon for the berth in the qualification rounds of the Champions League.

Lyon stayed in the chase for second thanks to an own goal from Dianbobo Balde, which came in extra time of its draw against Valenciennes. Lyon is fourth, but that's only good enough for a Europa League spot.

Victor Montano and Souleymane Camara converted penalty kicks in the first half as promoted Montpellier edged Lorient 2-1 to remain in contention for a berth in the Europa League.

Wendel and Benoit Tremoulinas scored as 2009 champion Bordeaux also stayed in the race for a Europa League berth with a 2-0 win over Sochaux.

Also Saturday, Monaco edged Nancy 2-1, Rennes tied Nice 2-2, Toulouse defeated St. Etienne 1-0, relegated Le Mans edged PSG 1-0 and relegated Grenoble topped fellow relegated side Boulogne.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
