00:11 [Fans cheering]
00:15 [Whistle]
00:16 [Fans cheering]
00:17 The atmosphere is absolutely electric in the Groupama Stadium as press, the visitors get us underway.
00:24 And it is testament to Pierre Sage and his players.
00:28 Former Arsenal man.
00:30 [Whistle]
00:31 Slip forward towards another former Arsenal man in Lacazette.
00:35 Alexander Lacazette can't get there.
00:38 Ahead of Marco Bissot.
00:40 [Fans cheering]
00:49 Gracie.
00:50 Satriano with the ball back inside to Loco.
00:53 Bradley Loco finds Dumbia.
00:55 Kamori Dumbia with the shot.
00:57 It was nicely struck by the midfield player.
01:02 Six goals for Dumbia this season including four in one game against Lorient.
01:06 [Fans cheering]
01:11 [Whistle]
01:13 Ricard Dinar.
01:14 [Fans cheering]
01:19 Oh, the chip is a dangerous one. Loco didn't get that.
01:22 Ahead of Steve Meunier.
01:23 [Fans cheering]
01:26 If you're going to come rushing out like that, you need to make sure you make it your own.
01:31 Del Castillo's pass was a teasing one.
01:35 [Fans cheering]
01:40 Loco.
01:41 [Fans cheering]
01:43 Ahead of from Meunier, some appeals for a handball.
01:47 [Fans cheering]
01:50 And Brest starting to apply pressure.
01:53 Ricard Dinar with the shot.
01:55 Outside of his right boot and wide.
01:58 [Fans cheering]
02:01 An opportunity then for Lorient to test Brest's defence.
02:05 Saeed Benrahma's cross headed up in the air by Chardonnay.
02:09 O'Brien battling.
02:12 And it may well fall to a Lorient player.
02:15 Coretta Tolisso.
02:17 Smashes it into the top corner.
02:21 Tolisso making no mistake after Brest had failed to clear their lines.
02:27 Jake O'Brien making a nuisance of himself.
02:29 Brilliant first touch from Tolisso.
02:31 And what about the second?
02:35 Crashing it left-footed beyond Marco Bizzo.
02:38 [Fans cheering]
02:44 Saeed Benrahma with the corner.
02:46 Lyon scored from that last set piece.
02:50 And another one.
02:52 Well, they might do. It was dangerous.
02:56 And there's still a threat with Folfana.
03:01 The young Belgian crossing towards Matic.
03:05 Headed back across by the Serbian.
03:08 [Fans cheering]
03:18 Now, Kamori Dunbia!
03:21 Oh, Lopez, I think has pushed it onto the bar.
03:24 What a save!
03:26 That was an extraordinary volley from Kamori Dunbia.
03:32 He's really got hold of it.
03:34 And Lopez just pushing it up onto the underside of the bar.
03:43 Absolutely sensational.
03:45 Made just two appearances for Lyon back in the 2015-16 campaign.
03:51 A chance for Brest and it's very nearly deflected it.
03:54 Lilian Brassier trying to get the shot away on the turn.
03:58 It's hit Tagliafico and gone wide.
04:03 [Fans cheering]
04:15 Another shot again from Dunbia goes wide.
04:20 It's getting in some good positions, the Malian midfielder.
04:28 Kakaray now.
04:30 Maxence Kakaray.
04:32 He finds Fofana.
04:35 Kakaray switching to Tolisso.
04:41 He's in the mood tonight, Corentin Tolisso.
04:46 He's already scored a cracker with his left foot.
04:49 Off target with his right.
04:58 It's a round. Remarkable for a club like Lyon.
05:02 But when you consider they were bottom on the 10th of December.
05:05 It is impressive. Here's Fofana.
05:07 Fofana, shot off for Mane.
05:09 Fofana.
05:11 Not quite enough curl in the end from the young Belgian.
05:15 But he is another really exciting attacking talent that Lyon have.
05:23 Mane, does the goalkeeper get a touch?
05:28 It is a save from Bizotte.
05:33 Steve Meunier coming back, finding Satriano.
05:37 Uruguay looking to get his shots away.
05:39 And it's another stunning save from Lopez.
05:42 Well, he is in extraordinary form tonight.
05:49 What a super effort from Martin Satriano.
06:03 Brest have produced shock after shock this season.
06:07 They've got work to do here tonight if they're to spring another surprise.
06:14 A frantic first minute to this second half.
06:16 Fofana, still Malik Fofana.
06:20 This is Tolisso.
06:23 Saved by Bizotte.
06:25 And already the goalkeeper called into action.
06:31 This is a good controlled drive from Tolisso.
06:35 Super save by Marco Bizotte.
06:40 Good ball from the Lyon keeper as well.
06:44 A little bit casual from Maitland-Niles there.
06:47 Possibilities for Brest.
06:48 Steve Meunier, probably the best chance that Brest have had tonight.
06:54 Meunier knows he should have done much better with that finish.
07:02 Maitland-Niles getting Lyon in a bit of trouble there.
07:06 Del Castillo, shot on for Del Castillo.
07:09 And again Lopez makes the save.
07:12 Getting down low.
07:14 Conceding a corner but it needed to be dealt with, that shot from Román Del Castillo.
07:36 That's a good cross.
07:37 Meunier with the header and Brest have levelled it.
07:42 Thanks to Steve Meunier.
07:46 Just a couple of minutes after he'd missed a gilt-edged chance.
07:50 Super cross from the former Lyon man Román Del Castillo.
07:55 Meunier just about onside.
07:57 And that is a really, really good header.
08:01 No chance this time for Antoni Lopez. Lyon 1, Brest 1.
08:16 Will it be the left foot of Brest's number 10 Del Castillo?
08:21 Or will it be Dunbier and his right foot?
08:28 It's Del Castillo and it's in!
08:32 Román Del Castillo.
08:38 He struck it really, really well.
08:41 Lopez who performed miracles in the first half here.
08:45 We're disappointed because it's gone to his side of the goal, the side that he's covering.
08:52 He got a hand to the ball but could not keep it out.
08:54 Good skills from the attacker on loan from Inter.
08:59 Not a bad pass either. Meunier up against Jacob Ryan.
09:03 Good strength from Meunier. Look at the space in the middle.
09:06 Dunbier, the cutback for Del Castillo!
09:09 It is absolutely superb from Brest.
09:13 What a super goal.
09:15 It all started here, Lacazette losing out.
09:18 Brilliant from Satriano.
09:22 Steve Meunier marauding up the left-hand side, holds off O'Brien.
09:26 That's the presence of mind here to spot Camori Dunbier.
09:30 And this is so unselfish from Dunbier.
09:39 Román Del Castillo with his eighth league goal this season.
09:42 Lyon 1 Brest 3.
09:53 Schurke to Kakare.
09:57 Schurke crossing.
09:58 Lacazette now!
10:00 Lyon back in it.
10:04 Alexander Lacazette half the deficit.
10:09 Schurke and Kakare working the corner.
10:12 Schurke does well.
10:13 It's a good cross on his right foot.
10:16 Lacazette just has the knack of finding space here at the far post.
10:20 And what a finish from him!
10:23 Saeed Benrahma.
10:28 Schurke again.
10:31 Schurke's pass blocked by Brassier.
10:35 There is a storm swirling around the Brest penalty area at the moment.
10:42 Schurke with his quick feet.
10:45 To Maitland-Niles.
10:49 Maitland-Niles driving forward.
10:52 Finding Schurke.
10:55 And now Tagliafico!
10:57 Lyon 11!
11:01 In France before tonight but they are creaking.
11:07 Under the weight of these Lyon waves.
11:13 Ryan Schurke opening things up nicely.
11:17 Tagliafico took it nicely in his stride and then let fly with his left foot.
11:26 What a fantastic football match this is.
11:28 Andy Kamara.
11:31 Le Douaron going for goal.
11:33 Easy for Lopez.
11:40 Schurke again.
11:43 No foul.
11:44 Nuama.
11:47 Benrahma.
11:52 Benrahma!
11:55 Oh it's gone a long way. Maitland-Niles!
11:58 And surely no!
12:00 It's been turned over by Schurke.
12:05 Did that ball stay in?
12:07 It wasn't clear. This is a great shot from Maitland-Niles. Schurke's onside.
12:16 Kamara.
12:19 Les Melous.
12:28 Pierre Les Melous. Shot on for him!
12:34 Les Melous is going absolutely crazy. He's been told to get up by the Lyon player.
12:40 Red card has been shown here.
12:43 The referee has produced a red card. I don't know if it's Les Melous who's been given his marching orders.
12:52 But that was not a pleasant moment.
12:58 Les Melous had the shot. Seemingly was caught by a Lyon player. Went down.
13:05 Was told to get up by an opponent. Took exception to that.
13:13 Oh there's been an undercurrent throughout this game. Drako Bryan is being shown a yellow I think.
13:19 As is Bradley Loko.
13:25 A red card was flashed. Was it Pierre Les Melous who was sent off?
13:47 I imagine it's the referee with some serious work to be done here.
14:00 Pierre Les Melous being asked to leave the pitch.
14:04 He's had an absolutely extraordinary season. The Brest midfielder.
14:24 Natalia Fico.
14:28 And Les Melous both walking towards the tunnel here.
14:38 Making his way off. Let's have a look at this again. The shot from Les Melous. Natalia Fico tries to pull him up.
14:49 This is when the red card comes out.
14:56 Final moment of magic. Here's Maitland-Niles. Kakaray.
15:01 And Nuama.
15:08 Nuama. Oh he's done well. This is Scherke. Still right Scherke. Good block.
15:13 It was Zogba. Did superbly.
15:16 Matic now. Kakaray turns it on. Lacazette will he get there?
15:19 Chardonnay got there. Lacazette was taken down by the goalkeeper.
15:30 Well he is. The referee is coming across to look to see if Lyon have a penalty.
15:37 And the home fans are adamant that he should be pointing to the spot.
15:44 Matic is at the heart of it all as well.
15:52 The Brest players are losing the plot out there.
15:56 They're in danger of losing the match as well.
16:03 Eric Watt.
16:06 Just can't believe it.
16:09 Everybody's getting involved out there.
16:26 I mean this is what matters. If Lacazette is okay or not. I mean goodness me.
16:33 He is finally going to get to go and look at these images.
16:39 Tough for him to keep a clear head in these moments of course as well.
16:50 And the referee is changing his decision. Lyon have got a penalty.
16:56 They are in the 101st minute. They're celebrating wildly but somebody still has to take this penalty.
17:05 And score it of course. Marco Bissot has been booked.
17:08 This is of course relevant because if Lacazette is offside then there's no penalty here for Lyon.
17:16 He's still very much in play. He's onside and he's taken out by the Brest keeper.
17:43 The stadium rises as one to salute the captain, the hero, Alexander Lacazette.
17:48 Goal scorer again tonight.
17:53 And the man who has won this penalty that is going to be taken some 15 minutes or so into added time.
18:02 Yet to score a goal in Ligue 1.
18:06 Maitland-Niles up against one of the best goalkeepers in the division, Marco Bissot.
18:13 Ainsley Maitland-Niles has done it.
18:17 And Lyon have come from 3-1 down to lead 4-3.
18:26 Sent the keeper the wrong way. Swept it high into the net.
18:33 Lyon 4, Brest 3.
18:37 They're up to 7th and their incredible revival in the second half of the season continues here tonight.
18:45 Magneti to launch it into the box.
18:52 Now Kamara.
18:55 Look who's there. Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
18:59 Man of the hour. Lyon have done it.
