00:00an Easter Sunday feast to finish the weekend in Ligue 1 Saint Etienne and Lyon going head-to-head
00:09in the most passionate derby in the French game and this one of course hugely important at both
00:17ends of the table Saint Etienne fighting to avoid relegation and Lyon fighting for a place in the
00:25Champions League next season come here tonight on the back of that defeat against Manchester United
00:32in an incredible Nade just important for Saint Etienne to keep cool heads as well of course
00:43Leo Petro cross it it's a good one header from Stassan and the Belgian puts Saint Etienne in front
01:01but look at what that means he's in brilliant form and he wasn't really picked up in the penalty box
01:08Leo Petro with the cross Stassan just left alone it was Moussa Niakate who seemed to be drawn towards
01:15the ball a free header on the edge of the six yard box Stassan scoring the goal through the legs of Lyon's
01:27stand-in goalkeeper Remy Descompte it's his 11th of the season all together for the 20 year old
01:36in discussions there with George Maciel Paolo Fonseca's assistant
01:41talking tactics and the shot comes in from Florian Tardieu
01:47there's some interesting positions on the left-hand side for Saint Etienne in the opening stages this
01:54evening very difficult of course to execute that skill first time on the volley and not much
02:01goal to aim at from the angle imagine they'll be looking for even more next season if as expected
02:08Alexandre Lacazette moves on
02:09no then it's a red card
02:23for this challenge the studs raking down the back of Quentin Tolisso's ankle
02:34it's a really painful one for the Olympique Lyonnais player and it doesn't look good in slow motion
02:43I don't think there's any real intent to do damage has become the villain because he is the player
02:51Lucas Stassan is set off
02:58Francois Letixier will come and have a look at the VAR screen well very important VAR checks in that Real Madrid Arsenal Champions League game during the week
03:08he's produced the red cards he's decided to come by his decision or is he going to reduce it perhaps to yellow
03:18perhaps to yellow
03:22yeah it's going to be a yellow card instead of the reds
03:35right then
03:39Lacazette gets a yellow card
03:41he did catch the Saint Etienne player
03:48Leon trailing in the derby
03:50Lacuoco with a bit of a miss hit and it's fallen for
04:04nearly a disastrous introduction for Polacu
04:07Lacuoco
04:11of an immediate return to Ligue 2 how they need the victory tonight to boost their survival hopes
04:16Lacuoco's pass is intercepted
04:18and he then gives away the free kick for catching David Tashvili and he's going to get a yellow card as well
04:24it's really not
04:25no Nemanja Matic this evening for Lyon
04:35Saint Etienne get it clear
04:37here comes Lucas Stassan
04:40socks rolled down around his ankles plays it in for David Tashvili
04:43he's through on goal
04:44and he's missed the target
04:47Zuriko David Tashvili
04:49that was for Saint Etienne to double their lead
04:52David Tashvili
04:53in behind the Lyon defence
04:56he should have scored
04:57seven goals the Georgian has got
05:02he's been eclipsed as Saint Etienne's leading attacking player
05:06well the shot coming in from Vertu
05:18well that's a bit better
05:20that's a bit better
05:34Stassan
05:36Stassan with a brilliant shot from range
05:40Stassan
05:42just popping up in a bucket of space and then letting fly
05:45and Remy Dekon got his fingertips to that
05:47substitute and there is the halftime whistle
06:03so there's the halftime whistle
06:09and it's Lyon who get us underway then in the second half of the derby
06:12and it has already been a pretty remarkable affair
06:18Saint Etienne were superb
06:20in that first half before the game was halted
06:24a long delay almost the length of the first half itself
06:2845 minute stoppage
06:31and the final few minutes of the half played out
06:34but Saint Etienne lead 1-0
06:36Lyon have offered very little
06:37and Lacazette is in
06:43looking to go around Larsonne
06:45from the angle
06:47too high for Kumbedi
06:49it was in the middle
06:50and is gone well
06:51nevertheless this is better from Lyon
06:53the start of the second half
06:54Lacazette was in an offside position
06:56where that ball was played
06:58going around Larsonne
06:59ball into the middle
07:06it's come off the head of a Saint Etienne player
07:09home team struggling to get it away
07:11and there's the header from
07:14to the second half in stark contrast to the
07:17first period for the away team
07:18Chaletas are off target
07:25Mikko Tadze lost out
07:28Saint Etienne defending high up the pitch
07:30and the
07:32card is going to be produced here
07:34now George Mikko Tadze and Florian Tardieu
07:37staying down after that collision
07:39Mikko Tadze treading on the
07:44Achilles really of
07:53free kick then to Saint Etienne
07:55Zuriko Davitashvili
07:57to take it the Georgian
07:59high ball which
08:01Remi Descamps wasn't too sure about
08:03has to tip it over
08:04the one-time Paris Saint-Germain
08:06a Nantes keeper
08:08has got plenty of experience
08:10but still difficult to come in from the cold
08:12in a game like this one
08:14but officials are not going to give a penalty for that
08:25now then, referee
08:27and I think the play to continue there
08:28everybody had seemed to
08:30to stop as defree's whistle does go
08:36bit of confusion because
08:38some of the players have thought that ball had gone out
08:40with his pace on the break
08:41with his pace on the break
08:43to coming on in the second half at Old Trafford
08:50and the shot from range from Ekwa
08:53tremendous hit
08:55very nearly 2-0
08:57on loan from Sunderland's in English Championship
09:01letting fly
09:02and that one nearly finding the top corner
09:08it rattles
09:10hasn't been much to shout about for Lever in this fixture in recent times
09:14they have lost five of the last six
09:17Stassan, Lucas Stassan lines up another shot, it's 2-0
09:21Stassan again
09:23he cannot stop scoring
09:32and he has delivered a double
09:34in the biggest game of all for this club
09:39Bernauer picking up that loose ball
09:41and it just fell kindly for Stassan
09:45just inside the Lyon half
09:46he was not challenged
09:49the Lyon defenders
09:51backing off
09:53and he was able to pick his spot
09:54the form he's in
09:56he fancied his chances
09:58a great finish
10:02bad news for Lyon
10:04delight
10:05Fofana's ball in

10:36the finest result of the campaign

10:41slip by Appiah
10:42Fofana takes advantage
10:43and the shot is over the bar
10:44from Mikhail Tadze

10:51Dennis Appiah nearly paying the price for that slip
11:01Lyon heading for a derby defeat
11:03they've had seven wins in ten
11:05in the league under
11:06Paulo Fonseca
11:08Tessman
11:09Tessman he's put one back
11:11what a time for Tana Tessman
11:12to get his first Lyon goal
11:16and that sets up
11:18the possibility of a grandstand finish here
11:22brought in from
11:24Venezia in Italy
11:26at the start of the season
11:27not brought in to score goals
11:30but they needed a bit of magic from somewhere
11:33and Tessman with a turn
