00:00Here we go then on match day 23 of Ligue 1, Lille host Monaco with the two sides separated
00:11by just one place, just two points fighting over the final Champions League spot, perhaps
00:17a spot on the podium.
00:19Visitors get us underway, shooting from right to left in all white in the first 45 minutes.
00:32Last season in England with medals for 28 and 40, here's where the goal is, Haraldsson
00:40brings it forward, gets his shot away.
00:47Lille open the scoring in just over 20 minutes, Hakon Arnaud Haraldsson carried it forwards,
00:56no one closed him down and boy did he punish them for it.
01:01There was another quick move forwards, stemming from a throw, they backed off, backed off
01:12and Haraldsson said, well fine, I will fire this into the bottom corner.
01:22Van der Sar, probably the guiltiest party, but that taking nothing away from the finish,
01:33Haraldsson's third of the season, puts Lille in front here, just before the quarter.
01:40Oh, there's a mistake at the back, and it's Haraldsson who's going to bounce on it.
01:49And at the second time of asking, the Icelander gets his second of the evening.
02:03Well, trying to play it out from the back, Monaco, with a big mistake.
02:10Majecki initially bailed them out with a save for the rebound, wasn't going to be missed.
02:17Zakaria who slipped as he tried to recover from a wayward pass.
02:25Wilfred Singo, the culprit initially, Zakaria unlucky and Haraldsson denied by Majecki once,
02:36but at the second time of asking, puts it past Majecki for the second time.
02:41Lille lead 2-0, just before half-time.
02:56Two goals also.
02:59To the middle towards Akhlioush, going to drop for Biarret, he keeps it alive,
03:04and Minamino keeps Monaco alive.
03:08He's done it again, last weekend, with a goal in first half stoppage time.
03:14It's the same story seven days later, the Japanese this time, reduces the deficit to make it
03:21Monaco 2-1 behind rather than 2-1 in front, but nonetheless, a very important goal.
03:27Brilliantly teed up by Mika Biarret, last weekend's hat-trick hero turns provider this time.
03:40And that makes it 5-0, still to deal one of their own.
03:46As we tick into the third minute of stoppage time.
03:50That is to be that.
03:5545 minutes are gone and Lille is winning.
03:58They are running 2-1 against Monaco, but the momentum will be very interesting.
04:04Who have that momentum? Monaco scored in the last breath of...
04:12Let's find out, as Benoit Bastien gets his best shot.
04:17Let's find out, as Benoit Bastien gets his best shot.
04:26He can give it the rule here, very important game in terms of the league,
04:30and neither side has to worry about the Coupe de France tie during the week.
04:36Monaco, of course, busy during the week just gone.
04:43Lille also had a full seven days to prepare, thanks to not having to play in the play-offs.
04:52Straight on it here, Bouhadi.
04:56It's Meunier, nice ball inside.
04:58Jonathan David trying to wriggle through, or even set up Moukau.
05:02Hakluge inadvertently nearly teed up Haraldsen, now on his hat-trick.
05:07Monaco survive, not a bad way to turn 17.
05:17Here he is now, as Lille look to push on with a bright start to the second half.
05:23Plucked out of the air by Majewski.
05:29Haraldsen into a good area, just over the head of Alexandro,
05:34led away by Malwica.
05:39Thiago Henrique looks to keep it in, does so.
05:42Almost finds the Lenerkener in the process, but doesn't really clear it out of Monaco's third.
05:48Benamino there first, ahead of Andre.
05:51Referee will play advantage.
05:54Benamino pulled back to his feet.
05:59I think that will be yellow cards.
06:03Here, there and everywhere.
06:06Unsurprising.
06:13It's on to the head of Alonso Rati.
06:16Singo puts it back across goal.
06:18Lenerkener couldn't get his head to it.
06:22Chance comes and goes for Monaco.
06:24In the throat.
06:28Hilder play is nice.
06:30Here we come once again.
06:31It's on to Lenerkener.
06:33Spilt.
06:34Who's going to get there first?
06:36Benamino, but it stems straight into Chevalier.
06:40The man in the right place at the right time late in the first half.
06:44Doesn't quite benefit late in the second.
06:47And Lille now look to bring it away.
06:48Fernandes, Bardo though.
06:51Over to Gudmundsson.
06:56I can't say Lille are parking the bus just yet.
07:01Now Maserati to Gudmundsson.
07:03Again that combination.
07:05Waiting at the back is Michel.
07:06Keeps it alive.
07:08Lenerkener and Bolo were waiting.
07:11It wouldn't drop for either of them.
07:13Bense again.
07:15Drop of the shoulder into Lenerkener.
07:21A little wide.
07:25Enrique should say.
07:30Will have to be a piece of brilliance.
07:32Lenerkener looks to produce it.
07:34But that dribbles wide.
07:37And that is surely that for Monaco this evening.
07:46Right smile from the teenager.
07:51And the 94 minutes are all but up.
07:56Bruno Genetio with one final piece of advice for his team.
08:06And there is the final whistle.
08:09The roar inside the Decathlon Arena tells you the story.
08:14And the three points stay with Lille.
08:182-1 was the final score worth.
08:21Two goals scored by Haraldsson.
08:24And three points to the pocket.
08:27Ladies and gentlemen.
08:28What a great result.
