Payet debuts as Marseille advances to Cup quarter-finals
Paris - Marseille's star recruit Dimitri Payet made his debut on Tuesday but it was Brazilian Doria who booked the team's French Cup quarter-final berth with a 2-1 extra time win over Lyon.
Payet rejoined the Ligue 1 side on a four-and-a-half-year deal on Sunday after Marseille paid €30 million to bring him back to the Stade Velodrome.
And the 29-year-old former West Ham player came on to a standing ovation after 94 minutes as the Cup clash was deadlocked 1-1 and heading into extra-time.
But it was old recruits who kept 10-time Cup winner Marseille on track in the 100th edition of a tournament the club holds the joint-record number of trophies along with defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Rod Fanni, recalled last summer by former coach Frank Passi, headed in the opener on 24 minutes before Corentin Tolisso equalised for the visitor on 64 minutes.
And Brazilian Doria, who had been sidelined by former Marseille boss Marcelo Bielsa and loaned out twice, stole the show.
He came on in place of another new recruit Patrice Evra who picked up a thigh injury three minutes after the break and fired in the winner after 109 minutes at the Velodrome.
"It's a huge disappointment. It hurts to be eliminated from the French Cup," said Lyon coach Bruno Genesio, whose side won the last of their five Cup titles in 2012.
"We have to pick ourselves up, and learn from this for our next match."
