00:00Off we go then, it is Nantes in 16th place needing a victory to get back out of the bottom three
00:09against a Lyon side who need a victory to get back into the fight for Europe
00:17and already Guirassi on the ball has been one of the revelations to come through
00:21the youngster, looks like he might play a more central role today although he's
00:24lined up there more on the right hand side
00:30Lyon in the dark kit today with Guirassi
00:42Lacazette back in the lineup today
00:47they missed him last week although he did come on in midweek and they still didn't manage to score
00:52Matic back from his injury problems of late as well his experience in the middle will be
00:58greatly appreciated
01:02and it's going to go behind, Neumar can't get there
01:07Nantes concerned being at the bottom in the bottom three having been
01:10right there at this point last season inside the bottom three themselves 12 months on though a
01:15much more uplifting campaign, nice pull through here's Tagliafico and the first chance and it's in
01:21perfect start Neumar on target over the moon with that one and Antony Lopez concedes against
01:33his former side in the first match he's faced since leaving them
01:41rebuilding the end of his career at Nantes but it's Neumar one of the newer names at Lyon
01:48who have got the visitors in front and after the start they've had to 2025 this is exactly what
01:54Piersage needs, lovely ball from Tolisso, Tagliafico back in the side after a suspension against
02:03Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday night with the assist and there wasn't really much that
02:09Antony Lopez could do about that, pulls it back behind Lacazette however Cherky picks it up
02:16lovely little ball through Lacazette Cherky could set it up here Cherky saved by Lopez
02:21back in again Lacazette over but it was offside in any case may get longer contacts are very clear
02:29that Piersage will stay as long as he wins which you could say the same about any big club
02:37Cherky back post and all the way through and out harmlessly for a goal kick
02:41here it comes in for Mata almost met properly by Lacazette didn't quite get the timing on the
02:47header back in by Mata, Verrattu, Fintan Mata gets there ahead of Moses Simon
02:57Matic is needed though to recover possession Tagliafico out wide to Reyn Cherky haven't seen
03:02him on this near side very much in the game switch off positioning after taking the ball
03:10positioning after taking that free kick a moment ago
03:14Cherky that might be a little bit too hard for him no he gets there Cherky in
03:19so though in the way there were two more defenders between
03:23what a shot by Ryan Cherky to almost put it to nil before the half it is 1-0 after 45 minutes
03:30of play Olympique Lyonnais winning it we're going to take a short break going to come back
03:35with the highlights from the first half of
03:45second half kicks off with Lyon leading by one goal to nil
03:55in their second victory of 2025
04:00they've been knocked out of the Coupe de France they've drawn in the Europa League but at least
04:04in the Europa League they've already booked their place in the knockout stages they need
04:08another good result though in their final match coming up this week
04:15if they are to make it through to the direct entry to the last 16 rather than having to go
04:22through the playoffs Champions League and Europa League and indeed a Conference League
04:28having the same format now with the one league system rather than all the multiple
04:34groups that we've seen in previous years all forward Mustafa Mohamed but showed too much of it
04:39to Moussa Niakate
04:43so
04:53all Paduas missed it and Giorgio Mikitadze has it it's two on two here Mikitadze taking on he's
05:00going to go for goal here surely back inside Seydou So recovers and I thought got something
05:06referees decide to let play on however the play didn't last that long
05:12back it comes the other way again Assoumani
05:17Lyon player down Assoumani shoots
05:21and Luca Perry saves and it goes behind off of Clinton Matta for a corner kick
05:28oh more good play from Assoumani he's really made a difference as he came on cross comes
05:34over from Chirabella over the top of Castelletto Simon back into the middle again and there it is
05:40in the final seconds from the man who was dropped from the squad last weekend
05:47but Mustafa Mohamed comes back to grab a draw
05:52the Stade de la Bourgeois has the roof taken off it
06:05and Anthony Lopez may not be beaten by his former side after all
06:16it's only the Egyptian's second goal of the whole season
06:23it may not result in a victory but it changes the atmosphere completely
06:32beautiful ball in the assist by Moses Simon he remains their top goal creator
06:42and much like in the first half when Lyon scored the goalkeeper here has no chance
06:47Luca Perry completely exposed
06:54and it's 1-1 heading into time added on
06:56it's all Nantes all of a sudden Perry goes up Mohamed goes into him and the referee gives a free kick
07:27the full-time whistle is gone
07:32we need to catch our breath because Don drawing a minute 90 is 1-0 what a game what a team
07:40Juan Vare came back last season after saying he would never be back
07:46would not save them for relegation and now after being up there at the beginning of the season
07:53they're struggling and they're back they draw
07:56against Olympique they are out of the relegation Sunday will finish them
