Gignac sends Marseille to final

The visitors struggled to contain the team from the South, and it was no surprise when Brandao rose to head Marseille in front. Following neat interplay with Lucho Gonzalez, Gignac made it two with a fierce effort from the edge of the area.

Montpellier will be Marseille’s opponents after they defeat Paris St. Germain on Tuesday to reach their first ever League Cup final. Olivier Giroud was the hero, scoring the winner in extra time after the Parisians were reduced to 10 men by the sending off of Clement Chantome. The final will be on April 23.
