Three days after going out of the Champions League, Marseille struggled to a 2-2 draw at Metz in French Ligue 1 on Friday, despite playing with an extra man for more than 30 minutes.
Marseille took a 14th-minute with 18-year-old Emran Soglo's first goal for the club, a low shot at the near post.
The visitors appeared to be heading for victory when Metz centre-back Ababacar Lo was sent off for planting his studs on Iliman Ndiaye's ankle in the 59th minute.
Yet Metz, newly promoted to Ligue 1, scored twice in the next 12 minutes.
Cheikh Sabaly levelled with a 65th-minute shot that deflected off Marseille midfielder Valentin Rongier (65th) and past goalkeeper Pau Lopez.
Georges Mikautadze volleyed Metz ahead after a 71st-minute corner.
Marseille dominated and levelled when Vitinha, on as a substitute in the 75th minute, found space in the area and fired home a low, diagonal shot in the 82nd minute.
