Ayew Brothers Win French League Cup

Ghana duo Andre and Jordan Ayew won the French League Cup on Saturday night as Olympique Marseille beat Montpellier 1-0 to retain the trophy.

Nigerian defender Taye Taiwo scored the only goal of the game with 10 minutes remaining in an often spiteful match at the Stade de France.

Andre, 21, lasted the entire duration and twice came close to finding the back of the net. Early in the second half, Montpellier goalie Pionnier made a fine save to deny Ayew, who then headed wide from a corner ten minutes later.

Youngster Jordan Ayew replaced Mathieu Valbuena on the 90th minute mark. The brothers could win the double this term as Marseille remain in contention to defend the Ligue 1 title.
