00:00 The flags, the lights.
00:03 An amazing atmosphere right here and we will be talking at the...
00:12 And now the 22 players are in the field and that's how the stadium was singing.
00:28 Beautiful.
00:30 [Music]
00:33 There's a terrific atmosphere inside the Groupama Stadium as Nice get this round 22 fixture underway.
00:47 Nice in their change strip of all blue, playing from right to left against Olympique Lyonnais.
00:52 At the halfway stage of the season, didn't settle in red.
00:57 This is Kakaray, his shot is blocked.
01:02 Now possibilities, Sonson with the shot.
01:11 It's deflected off Kakaray, perhaps Kakaray's arm but it was down by his side.
01:16 It'll be a corner to Nice.
01:18 Chose corner, Chaleta Sarshead.
01:25 [Music]
01:28 Chiram, shot on, it's a good shot.
01:38 Well saved by Lopez.
01:41 Morgan Sonson testing the Lyon goalkeeper there.
01:46 Got into position really quickly Sonson.
01:52 Ball's deflected, it's going to nestle in the bottom corner.
01:55 More boos as Nice continue to put some pressure on Lyon.
02:03 Mohamed Alicho, flighted delivery, headed goalwards and then over the top.
02:08 It was Clinton Mata to the rescue.
02:16 [Music]
02:19 21 minutes gone, no goals but it's a good game this.
02:30 Clinton Mata to Ainsley Maitland-Niles, the former Arsenal man.
02:34 Nice pass, Nwamu with the cutback, there's the opener.
02:38 It's the new boy, Aurel Mongala.
02:44 Lyon's big money signing from Nottingham Forest who has opened the scoring here.
02:49 The goal comes against the run of play but Lyon have managed to resist
02:58 and they have put together a super move there.
03:08 Maitland-Niles involved, Ernest Nwamu looks just onside there
03:14 with a really good cutback to the Belgian international Mongala
03:19 and he's just stroked it beyond Martin Bulka.
03:22 Lyon's revival continuing here with the opening goal.
03:30 [Crowd chanting]
03:33 Oh, there's a new dynamic.
03:40 Kakaray exchanges passes, that's great football!
03:45 And Kakaray so close to a second goal for Lyon.
03:49 Applause from Pierre Sage and from the Groupama Stadium.
03:57 Maitland-Niles exchanging passes with Kakaray, runs into Kakaray.
04:03 Kakaray through the middle, great ball, this is Nwamu for two, what a tackle!
04:09 Melvin Ba, absolutely, perfectly timed by the former Lyon defender.
04:16 Tracked Nwamu all the way.
04:23 Superb from Kakaray to split the Nice defence open here.
04:27 Kakaray, Nwamu, lovely cross, Benrama now.
04:52 Choram, he's got Cho making a run, Choram still going.
04:56 Eventually shooting, really strong run from Khefran Choram
05:01 but he didn't look like beating Lopez with that shot.
05:05 Going a very long way, all the way to Mohamed Ali Cho.
05:18 Cho with the shot cleared by Chaletasan.
05:22 He's been a bright spot for Nice, Mohamed Ali Cho.
05:27 Back underway then, 45 minutes to play between Lyon and Nice.
05:42 The visitors need to...
05:45 Here's Benrama.
05:46 Chaletasan.
05:49 Oh, what a strike that was!
05:52 Clinton Matta let it fly from 30 yards.
05:56 And it wasn't far wide.
06:00 Lyon starting the second half.
06:08 It's going to be Sonso.
06:13 An outswinger that Lyon just about deal with.
06:16 And then the shot from Cho is wayward.
06:21 Well played by Choram.
06:24 Now Mofi, onto his left foot, Teren Mofi.
06:29 And Djamatic.
06:32 Dalia Fico, good header.
06:37 Mongala.
06:39 Mongala.
06:42 Mongala with the shots, well wide in.
06:45 Corner for Nice, the header from Rosario.
06:52 It looked for a moment as though it was in.
06:56 Nice starting to pose a threat now.
07:01 And Pablo Rosario so close to levelling it.
07:05 Good way by Matta.
07:12 Kakaray.
07:13 Jeremy Boga, his shot.
07:18 Comfortable for Lopez.
07:21 No real venom behind this curling effort from Jeremy Boga.
07:26 Taken too long, to be fair, he's won it back.
07:34 Mofi.
07:36 Boga with the shot and this time...
07:40 ...he did save for Lopez.
07:41 He was equal to the task once more.
07:44 Malik Fofana.
07:48 Great ball, Gift Urban in the clear.
07:51 Thodebo is getting back.
07:53 Urban, Gift Urban tackled by Thodebo.
07:57 And Bulka comes.
07:59 Kakaray.
08:01 Maxence Kakaray is opening up for him.
08:04 And now, a great chance for Schalke into the side netting.
08:09 It could have been game over.
08:11 With the throw, Schalke as he won the corner.
08:14 The referee says that's enough.
08:17 Leon have done it. Look at the reaction of Lacazette.
08:20 In front of the Kop.
08:22 That's what it means to him.
08:24 That's what it means to him.
08:26 [MUSIC]
