00:00as Marseille takes on Riyadh and this is the Orange Velodrome and this is the entrance of these 22 players
00:13Marseille and Lyon the Olimpico was a memorable occasion in the reverse fixture in September
00:22when Marseille won by three goals to two despite playing almost the entirety of that game with 10
00:28men what could be in store tonight Marseille looking to pull clear again in second place
00:37it's very tight in the battle for champions league qualification 10 minutes gone 0-0
00:50all fed through for Merlin plays it into the side netting
00:53should have sought to play that across the face of goal time has run just right
01:12everybody back to defend this for Marseille the header comes in from contact to Liso
01:17I'm sure that he
01:36again it's a good play from Marseille and it finishes with a shot from Bilal Nadir well
01:41meaningful attempt on target for the first time in the game but it was an easy save from
01:46giant Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perry with 18 goals in three games in Ligue 1 yesterday
01:56quite prolific today not had a goalless draw on this weekend
02:03do not have the first booking of this match the challenge on Tolisso
02:08crude challenge from him you have to say
02:17and there is a halftime whistle no time added on which tells you something there's not been an awful lot of
02:29and we don't have time for more in the first half Neil Neil all I'm thinking is saying
02:34all I'm big Leonid you're interesting in 45 minutes but the best is yet to come so
02:39here's one device then we'll have to stay tuned to be in sports we're coming back after a break
02:47Marseille get us underway in the second half will this game come to life after
03:00that's 45 minutes in which Marseille dominated
03:04Leon managed to frustrate them not many clear chances for the hope side and certainly no
03:11really big saves for Lucas Perry the Leon goalkeeper to make
03:16it
03:20there are two against his team this evening
03:28Luis Enriquez a nice flick off from the Brazilian Milan Nadir might fancy the shot the youngster
03:34straight at Lucas Perry well it's just a temp we've seen in the game from Marseille you have to say
03:41Nadir was scorned here against for the beginning of last month
03:46he was getting his third with the shot
03:52now the foot race is on Cornelius not quick enough this might just be a chance Nouamah not
03:58sure Nouamah was on side there the shot takes a deflection on its way past and the flag does come
04:03up just a little bit terrific running
04:06Koumbedi
04:09Nouamah was ahead of the last defender
04:12shot was possibly good now then Ernest Nouamah he could do with some support here
04:19gets it from Lacazette there's a Marseille player still down in the other half at the moment but
04:24Ryan Scherke that's the ball for Leon lifts it into the path of Kortat Thalysso and Leon have scored
04:33the velodrome is stunned
04:38the wayside who get the breakthrough in the olimpico
04:43just over seven minutes into the second half the counter-attack led by Ernest Nouamah
04:51got support from Lacazette, Emmanuel Matic then working out to Ryan Scherke look at the run by Kortat Thalysso
04:57he's having a great season Thalysso you have to say it's been much more like the Thalysso of all
05:05the player who was part of the France team that won the world cup in 2018
05:18Thalysso might get another chance the save from Rulli
05:23not quite full for Nouamah, Scherke's effort blocked
05:27Scherke doing well to keep it in play here this was the first chance for Thalysso, Rulli with the
05:32save, Nouamah slipped as that ball passed behind him, Leon nearly doubling their lead
05:47Greenwood, Mason Greenwood for the equalizer he puts it over the bar
05:52change now
05:55so when you give up Nadir coming off indeed it is as we see the shot again from Greenwood
06:03he says leading scorer this season
06:06and here they come again, Koppetti has Ryan Scherke in support
06:11Nouamah, Nouamah hits it, Rulli makes the save high to his right
06:22scored a couple of spectacular goals recently tried to curl that one high into the top corner
06:29he's going in
06:32does well to control that and play the pass to Rogier
06:38much more of a threat and attack in the second half but
06:41might just be caught out at the other end Marseille had a corner to defend a few moments ago
06:48and on the breakaway they've got the equalizer Mason Greenwood
06:52their leading scorer gets the goal a simple finish at the back post for him
07:00this came from Rulli collecting the corner throwing it out to
07:03Roy Pierre he played the pass to the left to Rogier and then Amine Gouiri
07:08moments after coming on
07:13not sure if that was a shot or if it was a pass but it certainly ended up as a pass
07:18from Greenwood to score the goal
07:26position occupied by Leonardo Balerdi wide on the left Greenwood lifted into the penalty box
07:33and there's the header from Adrian Rabiot Marseille have turned this game completely on his head
07:47absolutely incredible the vast crowd here Mason Greenwood the scorer of the first goal
07:53lifting that ball into the box
07:55and it's Roy Pierre picking up Adrian Rabiot who's weighed in
08:05with his fair share of goals already since joining Marseille that is his
08:09third in Ligue 1 for the club he's made a habit of scoring with his head too
08:14now they're in the lead and they're playing with terrific determination and the fans here lapping
08:20it up Balafonseca must be thinking about what he can do to try and turn this around again Balerdi
08:25though because it could all change there we go the referee is going to have a look at this
08:38it's not outstretched but you wouldn't say it's a natural position clearly comes off the elbow
08:47does it hit his
08:48the penalty has been given
09:02it's Alexandre Lacazette their captain who had a penalty saved by Rulli in September when these
09:09clubs last met this time he sticks it away with a blob brilliantly converted in this pressure
09:15cooker atmosphere and it's 2-2
09:22what about that for a penalty kick Rulli went the right way
09:26Lacazette not put off by that it's his ninth goal all together this season
09:34sixth in Ligue 1 Adrian Rabiot does it all the way across the face of goal
09:41Greenwood, Mason Greenwood drills it in and Lucas Perry had his near post covered just as well
09:50that fiercely, a couple of Lyon players down here Lacazette is one of them and Vic
09:58Tolisso is the other one calling for treatment Tolisso recently made his
10:05just under 10 minutes of the 90 remaining there will be quite a lot of stoppage time I'm sure
10:11where his ball in and it might just fall for Cornelius and Lucas Perry somehow
10:16saves that one on the line Derek Cornelius denied
10:23how did he keep that out Lucas Perry, Greenwood helped it on and
10:31come back from 2-1 down to draw level again having taken the lead early in the second half but it's
10:36Marseille pushing for a third goal now the ball held up towards Luis Enrique turns it in
10:42it's 3-2 to Marseille, astonishing scenes here
10:53another Olimpico
10:58another memorable night at the Vélodrome to be so many of them in this great stadium
11:06another meeting of these clubs comes to life in the second half Paul Lirola just on as a substitute
11:12with the ball held up to the back post and Luis Enrique is there to turn it in he was unmarked
11:18he gets his ninth goal of the season league and cup combined finishing past Lucas Perry his old
11:25teammate at Botafogo they played together in Brazil earlier in their careers Luis Enrique
11:36Marseille win this three points clear in second place again Luis Enrique, Kouiri on the turn
11:56Luis Enrique said to be the match winner
12:00comes into the middle of Hojbjerg hits it
12:04parried by Lucas Perry comes into the middle of Hojbjerg hits it parried by Lucas Perry
12:16Cornelius challenge is met with a big roar for the Marseille fan
