00:00Group Lyon 1950 were gonna commemorate their passing and then the club added that they would
00:06add a minute of silence before the game for their fallen supporters. Everything ready for the first
00:14half of football.
00:15Referee blows the whistle and away we go. Lyon take on Lille on matchday 28 of the Ligue 1 season.
00:35Hugely important battle in the fight for Champions League football and the goal line there from
00:41Tana Testament trying to play it out from the back but giving the visitors an early corner here.
00:50Mitchell back up, puts it in. Andre got his head to it, it's flicked on
00:54and it's flicked in and we have a goal inside 60 seconds for Fede Diakite.
01:04Seika and here's Lyon side.
01:07Five OL defenders around him but it fell perfectly onto the head of Diakite who did so well
01:18to divert it just inside the post. Nothing Lucas Berry could do. Lyon still complaining about that
01:25collision between their captain and Diakite. Not sure but here's a corner taken by Haraldsen
01:35and that wasn't too far away. Another corner
01:43and it was Diakite again.
01:47Getting ahead of his marker, this time a few centimetres further to the left and thus just
01:56skimming past that far post, not into the side netting which it nestled last time.
02:02It was a record for a transfer to a German club at the time. Lacazette rather sums up how things
02:09are going for his side. Kicking it into his own standing foot, giving away possession,
02:16determined to make amends. Fourth yellow of the season for Lacazette.
02:22Just about got the ball. Not the point I'm sure he's making as the referee.
02:32Gonna need some fighting spirit here as well.
02:38Bad news is that Tagliafico's future is in doubt. It's Venom that's in his future as well as the
02:47present. Maitland-Niles trying to find his way past Goodmanson. He's even kept it in. Great work
02:56from the right back and it's on to Lacazette. A few appeals for handball.
03:10Whether or not intentional, a pretty clear cut.
03:18Well, yes they are is the answer. Eric Gautelier is advised to head.
03:27There's the freeze frame. Tom Amunie.
03:33It's a genuine attempt to get in the way but his arm is outstretched. Too many viewings.
03:40Hands out a yellow card, I think, to Bruno Genesio there.
03:44Seemingly too many complaints. Surely one of the most important.
03:52Puff of the cheeks.
03:56And as ever, a clinical finish from Owell's captain.
04:03Things haven't gone quite to plan in the early stages.
04:10Lacazette won the penalty and converted it.
04:16And in doing so makes it Lyon 1-1.
04:21Late in the first half.
04:26A little stutter. A stare down the barrel in the eyes of Lucas Chevalier.
04:34And as the young keeper moved.
04:40All over the top for Lacazette. Chevalier comes out. Just about gets there. It's going to drop though.
04:45Armada.
04:49Over the bar. All that convincing on that occasion.
04:55Just about got there. He's right on the edge of his area. Fully aware of it.
05:03Another halftime whistle.
05:051-0 after 45 minutes of play. A very, very early goal.
05:09Maybe even getting Lyon a little distracted after the tribute and the little bit of silence.
05:14And then, like I said, scoring with the penalty kick. It is 1-0 after 45 minutes of play.
05:19We're taking a short break. We'll be back with the highlights from the first half of football.
05:23With 1-10 total. Everything ready for the second half of football.
05:35A level playing field. Eric Cotelier gets us back underway.
05:4145 minutes in the battle for three crucial points. This is a Champions League six-pointer.
05:50If there is such a thing.
05:57With them currently.
06:01That's a brilliant ball forwards.
06:04But Armada couldn't quite get it under control. And it's given away.
06:08Chevalier immediately makes amends.
06:16More than 50 league games in his career.
06:21Still no goal.
06:26Promising youngsters. Still just 20 years of age.
06:28And Gomez most recently.
06:37Plenty of options though.
06:43Goodminton shoving the back. Helps him on his way, if anything. But his shot was tame.
06:51As we cut back, Fernandes Pardo is in on goal.
06:58Quick feet from Scherke. Into Maitland-Niles. Armada lifts it in. Tagliafico down into the
07:09middle. It's knocked on. Scherke gets his shot away. And he completes the turnaround. Leon Leed.
07:16Leed himself. He started it too. It's his quick feet that moved the ball into the box.
07:29Knocked on by the man now wearing the armband. Tolisso just helping it on its way.
07:37And Scherke finished the job.
07:40Behind in 47 seconds. Ahead after almost 70.
07:52Ajax loanee.
08:00Made quite an impression in his first game. It was a goal himself. Hand of apology to his team.
08:09Armada making the run for nothing.
08:26Within the game, done and dusted. There were options in the middle.
08:32And suddenly it's two on two at the other end. Haraldson goes himself.
08:36But was that the wrong?
08:43That's careless though by Alexandro. Armada. Tolisso. Mikhail Tadza. Armada. Denied by Lucas Chevalier.
08:57For Paul Akuaku.
08:59Ivorian making his first appearance of the season.
09:16Some of the Lyon fans thought it was the final whistle.
09:21That is the final whistle. They think it's all over. It is now.
09:26Lyon.
09:29So now Lyon sets in fourth with 48 points. One ahead of Nice. One ahead of Lille.
09:36They would have to wait for Strasburg to play tomorrow.
09:40They're sitting with 46 points. They're playing that.
