00:00Haroldsen, Andriy, Kavila and the number 9, Jonathan David, all of them coached by Bruno Gines.
00:08All of them representing Montpellier. If we take a look at Montpellier, they are the worst team in the league at the moment.
00:19Kick-off then at the Pierre Mourat.
00:22Lille looking to put a good result in between their two Champions League last 16 ties.
00:28In February.
00:33That came after they got knocked out of the cup as well by Loli Dunkirk.
00:36That's a good ball down the line though. It's picked up by Mitchell Bakker.
00:40Bakker needs a good ball into the box. It wasn't bad, but there were three there, but none of them were anywhere near it.
00:45Nevertheless, it will continue down this other side.
00:49Recycled by Thomas Meunier, a former Dortmund player himself.
00:54Coming up against his former side in midweek.
00:59Haraldsen.
01:02And the first shot from there.
01:04He looks fed up.
01:07Only a few minutes in. Ball in. It's wide.
01:10Lucas Chevalier confident it was not going to be on target and allowed it to go past his far post.
01:15Meunier. In by Gomez. Haraldsen. That's a lovely ball into the middle.
01:31Little turn here by Jonathan David, the Canadian international looking to shoot.
01:38Chasing his 14th goal of this Ligue 1 campaign.
01:42Got the turn, just couldn't quite get the angle on the shot.
01:51Opening up here and comes off a defender again.
01:58Koulibaly. He's on his own though. Surrounded by Lille players.
02:04And the referee does not spot any kind of a foul.
02:07Which means that Lille are allowed to carry on with things.
02:38And harmlessly through to Lucas Chevalier who immediately redistributes with 20 minutes gone.
02:44Still goalless. Lille have had the one real chance of the first half so far.
02:48But it is still Lille-Nille Montpellier-Nille.
02:52Bouhadi.
02:56To his captain. Cabela. Still out here on this right hand side.
03:02Meunier.
03:04Can't help feeling that Lille are just waiting to pick their moment.
03:11Cabela.
03:23Montpellier now with a chance to come forward finally.
03:26And they decide to go from distance from Andy Delort.
03:34It's been a while since he scored a goal.
03:43Yet to score for his new side since coming in from Algerian football.
03:48In the winter this is only his sixth appearance for Montpellier.
03:56Meunier.
03:58Back to Andre Gomes again and he feeds it to Alexandre.
04:02Which seems to have been a well worn pass so far in this first half.
04:07Haraldsen.
04:12Bouhadi.
04:13Teenager feeds it over to Diakite.
04:20Alexandre.
04:21That's a little bit too far in front of Bouhadi.
04:24And all of a sudden Montpellier can come forward.
04:26This is better.
04:27Koulibaly now.
04:29Three against three.
04:30This is as good a rod as they've had in the game.
04:32And they finally get a shot away.
04:34But Koulibaly hits it straight at the goalkeeper.
04:38Better though for Montpellier.
04:40But all from a mistake made at the other end by their hosts.
04:49Bouhadi looking for his third goal of the campaign.
04:53And fourth for Montpellier in all.
04:55Over the last two seasons.
05:08Into the final minute.
05:12Lille labouring a little bit here to convert their domination
05:16into something a little bit more concrete.
05:18Mitchell back up.
05:20Trying to get the right mix.
05:23Cabela.
05:24Still going.
05:26Gomez.
05:27Into David.
05:29Space on this side for Meunier.
05:33Into Gomez.
05:34He'll try from distance.
05:35And forces the save from Lecomte.
05:39Better.
05:41They managed to engineer a little bit of space at least.
05:44Only one goal has been scored by either of these two sides
05:46from outside the area this season.
05:48But that nearly became one.
05:51Coming from the man who scored the consolation goal
05:53in their cup exit against Dunkirk.
05:57Haraldsson with the corner.
05:59Back to Gomez.
06:02Slid across and Cabela led back.
06:05And the ball just went upwards again.
06:09We're into the final minute at the end of the first half.
06:12There's only one minute to be added on.
06:1545 minutes are gone.
06:16Lille and Montpellier.
06:18Nille-Lille.
06:19We don't have goals at the moment.
06:21But don't move because the highlights, the stats
06:23and so much more are coming up next.
06:25So let's go to a break.
06:34Home or away.
06:36Lille underway.
06:37Second half.
06:38Nille-Nille at the moment.
06:40The title in a wonderful finish to the season three games ago.
06:44As Koulibaly being brought down by Gomez.
06:57Jean-Louis Kassé watching on and just nodding in approval.
07:13Ismaili gets his first touch and just loses the ball.
07:16Dangerous here from the Brazilian.
07:18And all of a sudden, a chance palmed away by Chevalier.
07:22Remy Cabela trying to feed Boadi.
07:25It wasn't the best ball, though, to the youngster.
07:31Nzingula getting in and getting a touch.
07:34And he was yellow-carded in the first half.
07:36And I think he's given away a corner here in the second half.
07:40Third game back since he was suspended.
07:44For the game away at Strasbourg.
07:48In comes the corner.
07:50Meunier.
07:51Back in!
07:52Oh!
07:53He scored!
07:56Well, it's Meunier.
07:57It's Meunier.
07:58It's Meunier.
07:59It's Meunier.
08:00It's Meunier.
08:01It's Meunier.
08:02It's Meunier.
08:03It's Meunier.
08:04It's Meunier.
08:05It's Meunier.
08:06It's Meunier.
08:07It's Meunier.
08:08Well, Ismaili had the shot.
08:10I think David's trying to claim it.
08:13And just a moment after Ismaili's error
08:16nearly resulted in a Montpellier opener,
08:19he's now responsible for giving Lille the lead.
08:30A 14th goal of the season for Jonathan David, though.
08:39And this one might get them a little bit more
08:42than the one he scored last week against Paris Saint-Germain did.
08:47A little hug for Angel Gomez, who's on the bench.
08:50Siege mentality now from Montpellier
08:52as Lille try to find the second.
08:56And he goes out for a throw-in to the home side.
09:02Gomez gets it back from Cabela and sends it back again.
09:05They have a little personal passing session.
09:10Diakite.
09:12Again, Haraldsson this time is the man to peel down
09:15the right-hand side and it'll be yet another
09:20throw-in off of Modibo Sagnan.
09:25The former Utrecht man in his second season with Montpellier.
09:30Haraldsson into David.
09:36Haraldsson, Benjamin André!
09:39Good save, Lecomte.
09:42Well, the captain going for a rare moment of glory.
09:46Lovely turn, tried to send it back the other way to the far post
09:50but Benjamin Lecomte was wise to it.
09:57André hasn't...
10:02Cabela hits the corner
10:04and it's easily dispatched.
10:10Ismaili.
10:12Takes it on again from Haraldsson and a nice little ball inside.
10:15Agpom!
10:16Saved by Lecomte.
10:18Already two goals in his first four matches for
10:22Lille since coming in from Ajax and nearly there a third.
10:26Hit it well enough but Lecomte was well positioned.
10:34André!
10:36André!
10:38André!
10:40André!
10:42André!
10:44André!
10:46André!
10:48André!
10:51André!
10:53André!
10:55Montpellier finally getting forward once more.
10:58Mahama again who's already had a couple of chances to get down
11:01this right-hand side.
11:03Xhaka though picks it up in midfield.
11:06And a long one from distance from Teji Savaniye.
11:09Not the first time he's tried it from a long way out.
11:15Lille will be very happy if that's all Montpellier can come up with.
11:22In a season where they've had precious little joy from outside the area.
11:30More substitutions coming.
11:34And Zagula will come off.
11:39Nicolas Paye will come on to replace him.
11:47A young Frenchman.
11:50And a more venerated...
11:56Well he hasn't done the little VAR sign yet.
12:00No, he's going to remain a yellow.
12:04And now it's Daniil Ferenc who don't like it.
12:13This is lined up here for Remy Cabela though.
12:16To go for the top corner.
12:19Cabela comes in.
12:21It's a very disappointing effort.
12:23In the end he was looking for the cross.
12:25Cabela's still out there though.
12:27Cabela to the byline.
12:29Now can he find the shot they need?
12:31Looking for Akpon.
12:32Back in again.
12:34Well it was a sort of scuff shot in the end by Fernandes Pardo.
12:40Belgium looking for his second goal in a Lille shirt in Ligue 1.
12:44Never really caught hold of this.
12:52Just over nine now.
12:53Ismaili.
12:55Just over nine now.
12:56Ismaili.
12:58He's going to take the corner.
13:01Straight on to a Montpellier head.
13:03Only as far as Remy Cabela.
13:04Savanier with the free kick.
13:07Looking for Kuwate.
13:10And it's Bentaleb who gets the telling intervention in the middle.
13:15Alexandro.
13:20There's no foul there.
13:21Alexandro gave that ball up rather easily.
13:27Kasri.
13:28Out wide.
13:30Back in once more and over the top.
13:35Before they come back here and welcome Lance to the Pierre Mourouat.
13:42Andre with the header.
13:43Successful too.
13:44Fernandes Pardo.
13:46Akpon wants it.
13:47Fernandes Pardo goes on and
13:50Benjamin Lecomte makes the save.
13:54He seems determined to get on the score sheet.
13:58Mama.
14:03Back from Delors.
14:06Too short for pay though.
14:07Intercepted by Benjamin Andre.
14:09Sliding challenge from the Montpellier man.
14:17Their fourth straight win at home.
14:20And there it is.
14:21Just the one goal for the top scorer Jonathan David.
14:24Enough to seal Jean-Louis Gasset's Montpellier.
