Europa League: Marseille and Atalanta draw in semi-final first leg

Marseille's Europa League semi-final tie on Thursday, May 2, against Atalanta is finely poised going into the return after the teams drew 1-1 in the first leg in France. Gianluca Scamacca gave Atalanta an early lead to silence a huge crowd at a packed Velodrome but Chancel Mbemba quickly pulled Marseille level with a stunning strike from outside the box. The draw means it will be all to play for in the second leg in Bergamo next Thursday, although Atalanta will be the favorites, as they dream of reaching a European final for the first time in their history.
