00:00 We are underway, it's Nantes against Lens, Nantes are in their famous yellow kit, kicking from left to right, plenty of fireworks.
00:09 Most of those fans will be desperate for a goal or two from the team in yellow. Eli Wahi for the team in black, that's Lens.
00:17 Costa! Whoa, within the first minute, a superb shot from Da Costa and it hit the bar.
00:27 Scored a goal last week and so close again there.
00:31 Turning defence into attack, Sotica scored a couple of penalties against Nantes earlier this season, that was nicely played.
00:38 Here's Chavez, Chavez! No one there.
00:42 Maybe there is at the far post, it comes all the way back, Lafont kicks it out.
00:46 Sotica, easily held but he's at dangerous moments.
00:54 Da Costa, no problem for Lafont.
00:58 Andy Duff lining up the free kick.
01:06 Duff knocks it in, hit it over from Sotica.
01:21 Castelleto, switch to right back.
01:24 Sissoko.
01:26 Seder has a chance for Caduera!
01:31 No, it's been ruled out.
01:33 More frustration for the Zimbabwe forward.
01:37 For two years in Liga, let's have another look at that one. Sissoko, the driving force.
01:43 Was there an offside there? Well, VAR will have a look at that, no doubt.
01:47 [Crowd cheering]
01:53 Stephanie Frappard is leading the VAR team.
01:56 Tino Caduera, Zimbabwe forward.
02:00 Wondering whether he has the goal.
02:04 The answer is no.
02:07 That was the offside.
02:11 Just. It's close but that's what VAR is there for.
02:15 [Crowd cheering]
02:22 [Whistle]
02:23 Well, for a second, Nantes thought they were through but there's a foul against Mohamed.
02:29 Nantes furious at that decision.
02:32 Douglas Augusto.
02:35 Well, that's a good ball from Augusto.
02:37 Caduera has a bit of space.
02:40 Caduera, it's saved. Danger not over and Mohamed can't quite force it in.
02:45 That's the closest Nantes have come so far this season.
02:49 [Crowd cheering]
02:52 Sissoko, Mohamed with the chance. Great save.
02:55 What a stop from Samba.
02:59 Bri Samba who's been in such good form of late.
03:03 Showing just why he's one of the informed keepers in Liga and Sissoko did so well.
03:08 Eight clinch.
03:11 [Crowd cheering]
03:14 [Whistle]
03:15 [Crowd cheering]
03:18 Mollet knocks it in.
03:20 The towering header and there's a chance for Pallois.
03:23 He can't get it over the line.
03:25 Well, he was so close.
03:27 Well, it was whipped in.
03:30 The header might have come off a Lons defender.
03:34 Aguiar.
03:36 Pallois couldn't quite get it over.
03:39 [Crowd cheering]
03:59 That was the chance a few minutes ago and what a save.
04:02 Sissoko over the line as you can see.
04:11 What a stop.
04:19 Second half underway at the Stade Bourgeois.
04:22 No goals so far but plenty of potential in terms of goals.
04:26 Nantes have come mightily close.
04:28 Kevin Dansko.
04:31 Dansko to Medina.
04:33 Brilliant ball. Here's a chance.
04:35 Da Costa!
04:37 The Lons have the breakthrough and the player who hit the bar within the first minute
04:42 has made no mistake there and Franquez up in the stands.
04:46 He's going to be smiling to himself.
04:48 He stayed in the stands and he will appreciate that.
04:54 Dansko to Medina and look at that pass through from the Argentine.
04:58 First touch was good. Second even better. What a goal.
05:03 Lons have the breakthrough.
05:07 Padella to Da Costa.
05:09 Really good game in the middle of the park.
05:13 And Ainoi.
05:14 Da Costa.
05:16 Chance for a second and Elie Wahe just seemed to lose his footing.
05:21 Lons' record by. He's done really well in Europe. A bit less so in Ligue 1
05:25 but Da Costa there did really well.
05:30 So conceded 21 in the second half which is the second worst.
05:35 Here's Chavez.
05:39 Just about staying in.
05:41 Frankowski.
05:44 Out by Molle.
05:47 Swung back by Da Costa! Padella to Da Costa forcing another good save.
05:54 Da Costa winning the ball forcing a really good save to Lafont.
06:07 Second of the season and second in two weeks.
06:11 Ady Djuff. Djuff did so well.
06:14 Sotica.
06:15 Sotica is this number two?
06:18 Well Elie Wahe tried to back heel it in and it went wide.
06:24 Another really good move.
06:26 Ady Djuff the driving force there.
06:29 Sotica and just wide.
06:32 Win the ball a bit higher up there but they lost four players from that one pass.
06:37 Really clever stuff from Lons.
06:40 Pressing not so successful there.
06:43 Ady Djuff.
06:44 Sotica.
06:45 Sotica. Padella Da Costa!
06:48 Well he's come close to a second on a couple of occasions.
06:52 The first little nudge over the defender was a thing of beauty.
06:57 The second not quite.
07:01 Tappi with what's on the pitch.
07:03 Dufferin.
07:07 Dufferin out to Kadabamba.
07:10 Kadabamba the ball is safely in the arms of Brees Samba.
07:15 Dufferin again.
07:17 Kadabamba.
07:21 Kadabamba.
07:23 Samba casually plucks that off the head of an opposing forward.
07:34 Nantes. No they need to get on with it.
07:38 So Abilene.
07:40 Abilene.
07:43 Kadabamba.
07:46 Kadabamba.
07:48 It's miscued.
07:49 That's going to be a goal kick.
07:50 Disappointment for Nantes.
07:53 Last minute of regulation.
07:58 There's the XG.
08:04 Cannot put that right now. Not with shooting like that.
08:08 It's high and very wide.
08:14 Medina wants it back.
08:16 Side. There's no foul.
08:18 But it doesn't matter.
08:20 Lanz have come to Nantes and done the job in a very professional way.
08:26 And a convincing way in that second half.
08:29 [Winner]
