PARIS, March 6 -- Second-placed Marseille wasted a two-goal lead as they were hit twice in the last 15 minutes to be held by second-bottom side Amiens 2-2 in the opening game of matchday 28 in French Ligue 1 on Friday.

Andre Villas-Boas' side are still at the second in the table with 56 points, nine ahead of the third-placed Rennes and 12 behind the runaway leaders Paris Saint-Germain. But PSG's Saturday game at Strasbourg has been postponed due to the fears of rapid spread of the coronavirus, which has reportedly infected 613 people in the country until Friday night.

Iranian substitute Saman Ghoddos slotted home from close range in the 96th minute to secure a precious point for Amiens who are battling to avoid relegation.

The northern French side sit at the 19th place with 23 points, four behind 17-ranked Dijon and 18-placed Nimes.

Morgan Sanson and Dimitri Payet's goals put the hosts in two-goal lead after 57 minutes.

But the visitors struck back during the last period as forward Serhou Guirassy converted a penalty in the 84th minute before Ghoddos finished the second in the stoppage time.

Marseille was even hit by a blow after the whistle as Villas-Boas was given a red card for angrily protesting to referee Francois Letexier.
