00:00All-Impic Lyonnais ended 2024 in impressive fashion, losing just one of their last 11 matches.
00:15Montpellier club president Laurent Nicolin, that is why Savanier is not the captain tonight.
00:20A mistake from Ainslie Maitland-Niles, a possibility here.
00:23Jordan Ferry with the shot off the bar.
00:26And now El Tamari. Lucas Perry comes to Lyon close to scoring against his former team.
00:34A mistake from Maitland-Niles, Savanier to Ferry and then the crossbar intervening.
00:41A let-off for Lyon in the first three minutes. Savanier's corner, very good delivery and a wonderful save from Perry.
01:00El Tamari, Savanier, Savanier with the shot straight at Lucas Perry.
01:09He's started this game with a lot of intent, Teji Savanier.
01:14Ferry finds Chateau. Homegrown right back, good ball to Savanier, shot off for Savanier.
01:24Savanier, a swerving effort.
01:33It's swerved further off target, but Lyon don't want to give him too many...
01:43Savanier clears upfield, Maitland-Niles with a poor touch.
01:47Acore Adams now, shows good strength, shows good skill.
01:53The shot is off target.
01:56For Montpellier and for Adams who showed so much quality in the build-up here.
02:06Not an easy chance, a chance that he made all by himself.
02:12His goalkeeper.
02:18Lacazette using his body well, turning Savanier.
02:22And now Nuama with the corner, just wide.
02:25That was the best we've seen from Lyon.
02:29Lacazette to Maitland-Niles.
02:31Good cross from Maitland-Niles, headed up in the air by Maksimovic.
02:36Oh, the shot from Ainsley Maitland-Niles, it opened up nicely for him.
02:41Control the strike on his left foot.
02:47Just one goal in the league so far this season for the Englishman.
02:54Not far away from doubling his tally there.
02:57The cross does come in eventually, it's Maksimovic though who is on hand to clear.
03:03And Montpellier get through to half-time unscathed.
03:08So that is a half-time whistle and the temperature inside the pitch is getting higher and higher.
03:18Well, Montpellier have given a good account of themselves so far.
03:21The job is half done.
03:24Can they see it?
03:29Maitland-Niles, good ball from him.
03:31Verrattu in the box.
03:33Oh, the cutback, nearly an old goal.
03:36And then the header by Lacazette.
03:39Lyon go close here.
03:41Good run from the midfield by Jordan Verrattu.
03:44And then Maksimovic didn't know too much about that, did he?
03:49Two saves from Benjamin Lecomte.
03:57Savanier's cross cleared by Abner.
04:03Shot on perhaps for Altamari.
04:06It looked like it was...
04:10Forward come Montpellier.
04:12Deji Savanier.
04:15Silla with a bit of space here.
04:18Silla's cross and a chance here.
04:21It's been turned in by Jordan Ferry.
04:25Muted celebrations against his former team but this is a big goal for Montpellier.
04:31VAR will look at that.
04:34Now, Jeremy Stinat is coming across to have a look.
04:37So, this could be bad news for Ferry and Montpellier.
04:42Is he going to go back on the decision?
04:47Now the goal will not stand.
04:54Lacazette has been fouled by Maksimovic.
04:57It's going to be another card for a Montpellier defender.
05:00Serbian centre-half has been hurt.
05:10I don't think he can have too many complaints either.
05:14Not a good challenge down from the 33-year-old.
05:17Mata moving across to Ryback.
05:20Neokati in the middle with Keletassar.
05:23That's well played by Lacazette.
05:24Fofana. The cutback from Fofana.
05:26Oh, it's only a whisker wide from Abner.
05:29Chateau for Montpellier.
05:32That's a good ball.
05:34Kasri finds Altamari.
05:36Altamari still.
05:38Surely Montpellier will score.
05:41Khalil Fayyad misses an absolute set-up.
05:46And given their predicament, they need to be taking these opportunities.
05:50It's brilliantly done by Altamari.
05:52And Fayyad has to be hitting the target.
05:55He has to be scoring there.
06:01They've had one disallowed and now a terrible miss.
06:08It's only a throw-in in the end.
06:09This is Fofana.
06:12Another ball on the pitch.
06:13The referee continuing here as Tolisso crosses.
06:16Lacazette with the header down.
06:17Another shot was from Clinton Matta.
06:21A good time to get his second.
06:26Kasri. Shot is a good one.
06:27Perry watches it all the way and pushes.
06:30Spahr.
06:32Dipping strike from the Tunisian.
06:36Behind the side of Perry and the Brazilian might have been in trouble.
06:41Lacazette.
06:43Turning. He's gone past Sagnon.
06:44Lacazette crossing.
06:46Tolisso is at the handball.
06:47He's got it.
06:50Heartbreak for Montpellier.
06:54But it's Alexander Lacazette.
06:56He's got it.
06:58He's got it.
07:00He's got it.
07:02He's got it.
07:04He's got it.
07:06He's got it.
07:07Montpellier.
07:09But it's Alexander Lacazette and Leon who are celebrating an added time goal.
07:18Khalil Fayyad.
07:20The man who had such a glorious chance to score for Montpellier.
07:30Well, it is cruel luck on the league's bottom team.
07:34Really good play from Lacazette.
07:36A dangerous cross in from him.
07:40And it is Khalil Fayyad, the Montpellier substitute, who has had a horrible cameo.
07:50Terrible miss at the other end and now an own goal.
07:53Perhaps presenting Leon with the victory.
07:57There were appeals for handball against Enzo Chatto.
08:00In the end, it didn't matter because Fayyad inadvertently put the ball into his own net.
08:07And you get the crossing.
08:10Fayyad.
08:11Fayyad chipping it.
08:12The head up.
08:14He is wide from Jodic.
08:17And that will...
08:26...be it.
