Well for such a small mark I would get a used tea bag and rub it into the mark to stain the beech brown .keep applying if it's not dark enough at first .the stain will lighten as it dries .ignor the dried colour. The finished colour will be same as when its very wet. .

When your satisfied. And the stain has been left to dry. Rub a bit of oil into the scratch. (This will bring back the colour and it will stay this shade .even when the oil has dried). 

U can use any oil you find .

Cooking oil will do .But a gun oil that hardens will be better obviously. 

Don't use a water based lacquer .as your tea bag  stain is water based and will wash out.
