Anders Dreyer scored FC Midtjylland's first goal in the group stage proper but it was not enough to help the Wolves claim their first point as Antony and Dusan Tadic found the net before he halved the deficit.

Super Eagles left-back Zaidu Sanusi followed up his promising performance against Olympiakos with another fine showing against Marseille at the Estádio Do Dragão.

Moussa Marega, Sergio Oliveira and Luis Diaz got the goals for the Portuguese champions.

Sanusi, who went the distance, came close to scoring in the second half.
