Marseille scored a late equalizer to draw with Strasbourg 1-1 at home but dropped points in the French league chase for a Europa League spot on Friday.
Striker Dario Benedetto came off the bench to head home Luis Henrique's cross from the left in the 86th minute, as sixth-placed Marseille moved level on points with Lens in fifth and the Europa League spot.
Lens remained ahead on goal difference but that could change since it visits second-placed Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday.
