00:00 Welcome inside the Stade de la Maison where we continue our coverage of matchday 21 in
00:09 Léguin with Montpellier taking on Lyon.
00:14 I am your host Antonio Aculino.
00:15 Thank you so much for joining us.
00:18 With the same number of points as 16th place Lorient Montpellier in 14th.
00:28 So off we go then and Lyon kick off all in white kicking from right to left quite literally.
00:40 Forward by Matic, Benrama again.
00:43 Nicely done.
00:44 Tolisso thinking about the shot and well it dribbles past the post.
00:53 Just the one goal this season for the former Bayern Munich man.
00:57 Not exactly the same total he got last season in Liga.
01:00 It's not really.
01:01 And a score three goals as well.
01:03 This is a right hand Tolisso forward by Lacazette, Kakare.
01:10 Kakare can't get past Silla and then Silla is fouled by Newell.
01:15 Gives it away.
01:17 Montpellier on the attack.
01:19 Sergei Savanier feeds it out wide to Nourdan.
01:22 Back inside and at the back post.
01:25 Feeds it offside though.
01:37 Newell with the corner kick and it's over the top from Tolisso.
01:47 Lacazette finds Kakare.
01:52 Newell steps back inside once more.
01:54 Nicely done.
01:55 Ball in.
01:56 And it kind of just hits Taliapico who come from left back.
02:04 It shows you how they've been struggling.
02:06 Silla for Montpellier.
02:07 Gets it down well.
02:08 It's a decent ball into the middle.
02:11 And there's the opening goal.
02:13 Arnaud Nourdan strikes.
02:19 And the first moment of real quality in the game.
02:27 First shot by Montpellier.
02:29 First shot on target and they lead.
02:37 Wabir Kazri comes across to congratulate him.
02:44 Arnaud Nourdan picks up his third goal of the season.
02:48 In a season where he has really underperformed and hasn't played that often.
02:53 It's a really brave header.
02:58 Coming underneath Jake O'Brien.
03:01 Stooping to get there.
03:03 And really well directed beyond Anthony Lopez.
03:17 Ben Rama.
03:18 Put one man on his back.
03:21 And it's a decent ball in.
03:24 And Neumar, well it would have been a spectacular goal had he managed to get onto it.
03:30 But unfortunately for the Ghana international he didn't catch it cleanly.
03:38 Neumar.
03:39 Back from Maitland-Niles.
03:43 Decent ball in.
03:44 Out by Umar Adich.
03:47 And then Ben Rama.
03:49 Well it looked good to start with but it didn't really have quite the pace or the necessary.
03:58 Ben Rama lines it up again.
04:01 Looking for the near post but that was a tough one.
04:08 In it comes from Thauvinier.
04:10 And it's Umar Adich with the header but harmlessly into the arms of Lopez.
04:17 Umar Adich has yet.
04:24 Arnaud Norder has a 23rd minute goal.
04:26 Still separates the two sides.
04:27 It's a good ball that goes down to Hefti.
04:32 Norder.
04:35 Hefti again.
04:36 Another ball in.
04:37 To Liso. Matic leaves it.
04:41 Out by Maitland-Niles.
04:42 Neumar decides to go for goal himself and the crowd love it that it goes well over the
04:46 bar.
04:47 He's decided to go back behind there anyway.
04:52 Neumar lining this up.
04:54 It's going to be Ben Rama instead.
04:56 Oh I thought that had gone in.
04:59 It's just gone wide.
05:05 He hits this beautifully, the Algerian international.
05:08 Likhad fully thinks this is heading for the top corner and I must admit so did I for a
05:13 minute.
05:14 Loves football through and through.
05:17 Off we go then.
05:20 It is 1-0 then.
05:25 He coincided with near emptying of the treatment room.
05:28 Only Yohan Lepenok battling back from a sprained knee is confined to the medical tent and that
05:34 just goes wide.
05:37 Savanier finally getting a slight of goal.
05:41 Livening up the fans.
05:44 Nice little move here.
05:45 Seler through once more.
05:47 In it comes to Savanier and he doesn't quite find the target.
05:50 He might be being a bit generous.
05:53 It's a long way.
05:54 Made his debut last weekend.
05:57 Here comes Feri.
05:59 Feri.
06:01 Again.
06:02 Just a lack of composure.
06:07 Better.
06:11 Sharply done there by Benrahma.
06:15 Had that free kick that almost went in just before the break but he's having quite an
06:20 impact here in his first game for Lyon.
06:27 This is nicely done here from Montpellier.
06:29 This could turn into quite a useful attack.
06:32 Arnaud Nordau now with two men either side.
06:35 Here he comes.
06:36 Good ball into the middle.
06:38 Oh, that was almost the perfect goal.
06:41 Akkor Adams denied at the last by Lopez.
06:46 That would have been one of the goals of the season in terms of team play.
06:51 Wonderful.
06:52 We missed all the good bits actually when we got to here.
06:55 Great ball into the middle.
06:56 Less so.
06:58 Tadji Savanieh with the corner kick coming up to the hour mark and it's been missed by
07:03 the goalkeeper and put over the top by Kuwate.
07:10 Well Lopez decided to come.
07:12 I think he got tripped over by his own man.
07:23 Very quick into the challenging midfield and now they're getting forward again.
07:26 That's scuffed shot from Nordau.
07:31 Here's Akkor Adams.
07:32 Nice little ball inside to Savanieh.
07:35 That's onside as well and the new man on has got the ball.
07:40 Adams!
07:42 Tame finish.
07:44 It's not really had his shooting boots on today.
07:49 Well you can tell he's not used to scoring.
07:51 He's still further up though.
07:53 Here is Savanieh.
07:59 And it's over from the captain.
08:02 Still looking for that fifth goal of the campaign.
08:12 Get away from Sagnon.
08:17 Italia Africa thought about the shot instead finds Lacazette.
08:23 Lacazette to the byline!
08:24 Oh how has he fitted it in from that angle?
08:27 And Leon come back almost from the dead.
08:35 And it's their captain with his eleventh goal of the campaign.
08:40 Mr Reliable.
08:42 The man they always come to when they need him.
08:50 Well look at this he just needed half a yard but look at the accuracy through Laconte who
08:56 will be very disappointed he's been beaten from there.
09:02 And Leon who were in the bottom three because they were behind might well have just lifted
09:07 themselves back out again.
09:14 In a slow painful process but they at least have got a point that will keep them out of
09:19 the bottom three unless they can see it again.
09:24 Good persistence from Kakare.
09:26 Leon on the attack.
09:27 Good ball in.
09:28 Could be a chance.
09:29 And it's over.
09:30 And then in by Jake O'Brien and parried away by Laconte.
09:36 Still not away.
09:37 And he has it!
09:38 Kakare scores.
09:39 And Leon have come from behind.
09:40 And they can't believe it.
09:59 Remy McCoutre.
10:01 Geeing up the players.
10:07 Monsieur Nicolas.
10:10 How cruel football can be.
10:15 What a comeback by Leon.
10:16 They are just out of the game for large parts of it.
10:21 Even though they were having possession.
10:25 They weren't doing anything with it.
10:27 And all of a sudden they found their edge.
10:32 Wonderful strike by Kakare.
10:39 His first goal of the campaign is a stunner.
10:46 And could be bringing three points with it.
10:55 Remy McCoutre.
10:58 He's seen Kakare get his first goal of the season.
11:01 But he's unable to find his.
11:04 At least in Ligue 1.
11:07 Waiting to get Leon.
11:10 In it comes!
11:12 And it's wide.
11:15 Kiki Kuwate again rising.
11:18 Make no bones about it.
11:25 Leon earned their third win in a row.
11:28 And move into 13th place in the table.
11:32 As they defeat Montpellier by two goals to one.
11:35 Thank you so much for watching.
11:36 From Antonio Colino.
11:37 Arrivederci.
