00:00In the early weeks of this Ligue 1 season, Olympique Lyonnais and A.S. Monaco, two of the great names in French football.
00:10Monaco last season's runners-up, looking to build on a victory in their opening game of this campaign against Saint-Étienne last weekend.
00:18Lyon had that remarkable finish to last season, which sort of smashed European qualification,
00:23but who started this season with a horrible 3-0 defeat away to Rennes in Brittany.
00:29And they're looking to make up for that today in front of their own fans here at the Aiglons.
00:35Mightily impressive last night.
00:38Here come Lyon on the offensive, ball into the middle, and it's turned away by Yacobs.
00:47First opportunity for the home team to create something.
01:00Kihinamino already getting a sense that this could be an end-to-end.
01:04Humdinger, Elias Benseguer, tried the shot.
01:09Hanna being encouraged to take on his man.
01:12Zakaria coming across to help cover for Monaco.
01:16This is Maitland-Niles, Kakre.
01:23Just a big empty space.
01:26Now Lyon can burst forward. This might be the chance for Agnès Nouraimai.
01:29Couldn't get that ball under control.
01:32And Ismael Yacobs, all credit.
01:38Monaco have not won here since their title-winning 2016-17 season, in the league anyway.
01:47Not won here in the Coupe de France in the intervening period, but they've lost their last six visits in the league.
01:56Benseguer, this might be a chance for Mbolo.
02:00It was off-balance, it's a let-off from Lyon.
02:08Yacobs with the ball in, brought down by Mbolo, might just fall for Minamino.
02:12Takumi Minamino, it's a brilliant save by Lucas Perry, to divert that ball onto the post and away.
02:19Transfer window, they do need to recoup quite a lot from sales, I think it's fair to say, in the coming days.
02:27Van der Sar.
02:30Blocked by Abner.
02:34Monaco can break again, now there is space on the right-hand side for Van der Sar, powering forward.
02:40Minamino brings it to Agliouge.
02:44Mbolo trying to return it to Agliouge, the option there was surely to play it.
02:48Bielsage is beyond lucky, really, to be...
02:55...been on top and...
02:57So this is the first half, Olympique Lyonnais and Monaco, nil-nil in the first 45 minutes.
03:03Let's go to a break and we will have so much more after the break, so don't go anywhere, you're watching Beansports,
03:09Olympique Lyonnais and Monaco, without goals in the first half.
03:12Seguia.
03:14Field to Minamino, Takumi Minamino back to Mbolo, this is good play from Monaco, Mbolo shot...
03:20...over the bar from...
03:22Most of Monaco is attacking in the first half, Cape down the left at the moment, Van der Sar...
03:27...prancing down the right, a cross blocked, it's come back to the Brazilian.
03:31Here is Agliouge.
03:42Bielsage.
03:45Bielsage.
03:47Bielsage.
03:49Bielsage.
03:51Bielsage.
03:53Bielsage.
03:55Bielsage.
03:57Bielsage.
03:59Bielsage.
04:01Bielsage.
04:03Bielsage.
04:05A bit of a mix-up there between Salisbury and Zakaria.
04:09Agliouge, flags the shot wide, Kaká came across to make the block into Zakaria.
04:18It's going to come to Agliouge, a bit of hesitation between goalkeeper and defender.
04:22And Mbolo with the overhead kick.
04:32Ben Seguia, this time the shot from Ben Seguia has gone in.
04:38Oh, it's a goal that's been coming.
04:43Monaco finally getting the breakthrough here in Lyon.
04:48Thanks to Elias Ben Seguia, the principality side lead by Gaultin.
04:53Just a few moments ago, Monaco again coming forward.
04:56Ben Seguia collecting the ball deep in a central position.
04:59Coming in off the left.
05:02Exchanging passes with Magnés Agliouge.
05:04She was surrounded by white shirts, but he was still able to just sneak a shot into the far corner beyond the reach of the goalkeeper.
05:18And the 19-year-old Ben Seguia puts Monaco in front.
05:23To the delight of Adi Hertha, their coach.
05:26You have to say they deserve a save.
05:28Just a few moments ago, Monaco again coming forward.

06:03Palace in the English Premier League.
06:05Ball in from Zakaria.
06:07Away by Duje Caleta-Sar.
06:12Jakobs.
06:13Ball towards Tettey!
06:16On his debut, that was nearly...
06:197 points from their first 14 games.
06:22Eleni Kenna to make it 2.
06:24In the end, it was straight at the goalkeeper.
06:26In the end, the offside flag coming up.
06:31Mikko Tante.
06:33Needs to be that sense of urgency about Lyon now.
06:44Zakaria.
06:46They have to leave more spaces, which Monaco might be able to exploit.
06:49Kassoum Ouattara with the ball out to Jakobs.
06:51Tettey again making the run forward from right back.
06:54Again, he was the target.
06:56Later, they come here to Lyon.
06:58To play Belgium.
07:00Ball into the middle.
07:02This time, it should be 2-0.
07:04It is the same move again that Monaco
07:08have tried to exploit several times in recent minutes.
07:13Another low ball in from the left.
07:15Another player arriving in the box to apply the finish.
07:18It's 2-0 to Monaco.
07:21And that is surely game over.
07:22Lamine Kamara.
07:24The Senegalese from FC Metz.
07:27Making the run into the box.
07:29Jakobs playing the ball out to the left-hand side.
07:32Ouattara the substitute.
07:34With the ball in.
07:36And they were queuing up.
07:38In the end, it was Lamine Kamara
07:40who applied the finish.
07:44And that is probably
07:46a fair reflection now on the way forward.
07:49And that is probably
07:51a fair reflection now on the way the game has gone.
07:54Monaco have clear daylight between themselves and the home team.
07:57And the three points are heading back to the principality.
08:08In comes the challenge just outside the penalty box.
08:14It is a second yellow card for Lamine Kamara.
08:18And a disappointing
08:20finish to the game for Monaco.
08:22Because Lamine Kamara
08:24has been so impressive today.
08:26He got his first goal for his new club.
08:29That means very little in today's match.
08:32But two needless late bookings
08:35for the Senegal midfielder.
08:37The new signing for Mikel Tante.
08:41Unable to get the shot in.
08:43And that is that. The final whistle goes.
08:48So the match is over.
08:50And Monaco have just won
08:522-0 against Olympique Lyonnais.
08:552-0.
08:57And two defeats in a row for the host team.
09:00Monaco 6 points in the first two matches.
