Ajax suffer 4-3 aggregate defeat in Uefa Cup

An extra-time goal from on-loan right-back Tyrone Mears secured Marseille's place in the last eight of the Uefa Cup as they defeated Ajax 4-3 on aggregate. Ligue 1 giants Marseille were the victors at the Stade Velodrome last week after they picked up a 2-1 first leg triumph. But it was Ajax who began the second leg at Amsterdam ArenA the stronger as Eyong Enoh netted on 33 minutes to level on aggregate. However, Mamadou Niang scored for Eric Gerets' side just two minutes later to hand Marseille the edge. And l'OM looked to be heading for the quarter-finals until Miralem Sulejmani's scored for the home side to send the match into extra-time. With the tie delicately poised, Mears, who controversially joined Marseille after undergoing a trial without his parent club Derby County's permission, popped up in extra-time to see off Ajax, who also had Bruno Silva sent off.
