Rolando goes the extra mile as Marseille see off Salzburg

-

Marseille defender Rolando struck the decisive goal late in extra time as the French side battled back in Salzburg to reach the Europa League final with a 3- 2 aggregate win.

Amadou Haidara, who was sent off late on, put the Austrians ahead on the night when he fired home a right- footed shot in the 53rd minute.

Salzburg doubled their lead 12 minutes later when Marseille right- back Bouna Sarr put through his own net and, with the tie remaining all square at 2- 2 on aggregate, it went into extra time.

And it was Roland ow ho emerged as the Marseille hero as the Portuguese centrehalf found the bottom corner with a shot following a corner by former West Ham star Dimitri Payet.
