00:00 [Music]
00:11 [Whistle]
00:12 And off we go to the sound of silence here at the Stade de la Bourgeois.
00:18 A sad affair with all the empty seats around as Nantes already on the back foot.
00:23 Benrahma intercepting the pass from Chirivella and cutting back for Tolisso.
00:29 And he hits the first shot of the evening over the bar.
00:33 Nantes have been horrendous at home this season.
00:38 No victory since the 2nd of December.
00:43 Starting quite poorly.
00:47 Really go down well anywhere to close La Bourgeois completely this evening.
00:52 As Kakare spreads towards Lacazette.
00:54 Lovely ball that was.
00:55 Lacazette running at Kermit.
00:57 Forced onto his left foot and getting the shot away.
01:00 But only into the side netting.
01:01 Barely 3 minutes on the clock.
01:02 Leon already with 2 real opportunities to test Albon Lafont.
01:11 In the Nantes.
01:15 Benrahma lovely first touch through the legs of Chirivella.
01:18 And Luama with a heavy pass back towards Benrahma.
01:24 Lovely run from the Algerian.
01:29 I'm not sure Luama knew he had Alexandre Lacazette in his back.
01:34 Begging for that ball to be left.
01:37 Here at La Bourgeois in 1st division of French football as Matisse Abbelin.
01:43 Drifts through the Leon back line.
01:44 It might drop for Mohamed.
01:46 That's a brilliant save from Anthony Lopez.
01:48 Now Tali Afiko.
01:51 Lovely touch from Benrahma.
01:53 Tali Afiko into Corotateliso.
01:56 Maitland-Niles through to Lacazette.
01:58 Is Makhiel a little too casual?
02:07 Sissoko trying to break forward for Nantes down the other end now.
02:12 Space on the near side for Florian Mollet.
02:15 Into the middle.
02:16 The head up from Matisse Abbelin is in the back of the net.
02:19 Just like last week in Nice, Matisse Abbelin with the head up.
02:23 Well, he is the man at the moment in this Nantes revival under Antoine Comboiré.
02:31 It's a very good ball in from Florian Mollet.
02:35 Perfectly weighted.
02:37 Attacked by Abbelin.
02:39 It looks like he's been doing this all season.
02:41 It's only his third goal of the term.
02:43 Mohamed into Abbelin once more.
02:53 He's taken it past his man, Matisse Abbelin.
02:57 It's another strong save from...
03:01 There's that Abbelin chance again.
03:04 Anthony Lopez so swift off his line.
03:06 That's always been his strong point, the goalkeeper.
03:12 And it's the 2022 World Champion, Nicolas Taliafico.
03:16 Benrahma running at Kelvin Amiol.
03:22 To the middle for Khakre.
03:23 Lacazette was offside.
03:24 It'll come for Khakre once more.
03:25 And now Lacazette.
03:27 Nwama wants it.
03:28 Nwama gets it.
03:29 And it comes from Ernest Nwama.
03:31 Albolaforn knew he had to get something onto it with Saeed Benrahma lurking behind him.
03:37 It's a dangerous cross-cum-shot from Ernest Nwama.
03:41 Claude.
03:42 It's a rare sight for one of Lyon's members of staff to be booked and it not be Remy Vercoe
03:49 as Maitland-Niles gets it across towards Lacazette.
03:51 And he's back on it, Maitland-Niles.
03:53 Lacazette.
03:54 Lovely turn.
03:55 Alex Lacazette.
03:56 Oh, crafted that one out all by himself and very nearly tucked it away.
04:04 Just past Albolaforn's right-hand post.
04:09 The turn here from Lacazette and the touch.
04:14 Toliso.
04:17 Khakre tried to bring it under control.
04:24 Lovely ball it was from Toliso.
04:27 Ligue 1 bench.
04:31 Eight different clubs he's managed that with and he might see his team go two up here as
04:38 Mohamed drives a goal.
04:40 I think that came off the post rather than being a save.
04:43 It did.
04:44 It's a goal kick.
04:47 It's not crafting all the best chances right now as Lyon struggle to find the passes in
04:52 the final third.
04:55 Abilene and Mohamed as well as Florian Mollet finding each other very nicely.
05:00 A force back towards Chalatissat.
05:05 O'Brien.
05:06 Over the top it goes high towards Tani Afiko.
05:09 It's found its target.
05:10 Now Benrahma might strike here.
05:12 Side Benrahma.
05:13 He does.
05:14 It's straight down the throat to Albolaforn.
05:21 And underway in this second half.
05:24 An empty Stade de la Bourgeois.
05:27 It's Nantes who have the lead.
05:31 Huge coming together there between Zezay and Lacazette.
05:38 Teenage defenders gone down.
05:41 Hurt.
05:42 Holding his head.
05:45 Zezay already on as an injury substitution.
05:55 Placing Erike Hermet in the first half.
06:01 Jerome Brissat consulting his assistants on the near side.
06:06 There was a bit of an elbow in it.
06:11 Jamal Alioui again.
06:36 Being shown by the cameras there.
06:38 Talking to Antoine Comboire on the touchline.
06:40 Yellow only for Alexandre Lacazette.
06:45 Antoine Comboire unhappy with that.
06:55 Zezay's down hurt here.
07:19 And being asked by Antoine Comboire is why he wasn't consulted.
07:32 Zezay's been cut open here.
07:35 By Alexandre Lacazette's elbow.
07:42 It's a nasty coming together actually.
07:44 You can see why Comboire is upset.
07:56 Big gash on the forehead of Zezay.
08:01 Alexandre Lacazette is fortunate.
08:05 Nothing is being taken any further here.
08:08 Six games remaining after this one.
08:11 They read Loawe away.
08:14 Wren at home but first Mohamed here.
08:16 On to goal again.
08:18 Anthony Lopez making the big save.
08:21 Loave, Wren, Montpellier, Brest, Lille and Monaco still to come for Nantes after this
08:28 one.
08:29 But a victory over Lyon would be setting them up wonderfully for those final six games.
08:34 Matic, Scherke away from Chiribella.
08:47 Scherke shooting from range.
08:49 Scherke straight at Aboulafon who is clear by Douglas Augusto.
08:59 Sissoko first with a loose ball.
09:02 Chaletasar on his backside.
09:03 Sissoko's got Mustafa Mohamed on the move ahead of him.
09:06 For Amole outside of him.
09:08 And Matis Abilene on the edge of the box.
09:10 But the shot, he shifted off the ball.
09:14 Scherke steps away from Chiribella.
09:18 Inside Augusto, back outside into Nouama.
09:21 Scherke and Lacazette in the middle.
09:24 On the edge of the box is Benrama who gets underneath it.
09:27 Can't keep the shot down, over the bar, wide from side Benrama.
09:47 Benrama now.
09:48 Matic back for Lacazette.
09:50 Benrama beautifully set up.
09:51 And Malik Fafanda's first chance is saved.
09:55 But Alex Lacazette turns in.
09:58 Pointed, he didn't get the goal.
10:02 Lovely set up from Matic there, catching the Nantes defence out.
10:07 Lafon with a double save.
10:08 And then Lacazette showing his predatory instinct.
10:14 Fastest man to the loose ball.
10:16 Ahead of Nathan Zezay, he cleared it into him.
10:19 Kakaray.
10:20 So many academy products on the field for Leon right now.
10:24 Maitland-Niles, Fafanda, Malik Fafanda!
10:28 Well, he didn't put the first effort away.
10:31 No doubt about that one.
10:34 And a quick one-two.
10:36 Leon are ahead.
10:39 In four appearances this season for Malik Fafanda.
10:47 Beautifully taken.
10:53 Lacazette.
10:54 Down the line it goes towards a trial rate.
10:57 He gets a touch on it.
10:58 He's done well.
10:59 Kakaray.
11:00 Mamabalde.
11:01 Pass Nathan Zezay.
11:02 Brilliant work from Mamabalde.
11:03 Cherki and Orban in the middle.
11:04 It'll be for Gift-Orban.
11:05 It's 3-1.
