00:00 [BAND PLAYING]
00:04 Season.
00:04 [BAND PLAYING]
00:08 Failed to win in their last two games here in Liga.
00:13 One all draw with Le Havre.
00:15 Three-one defeat to Nice.
00:18 Most recent couple of games.
00:20 We're under way.
00:21 We're under way.
00:23 And Lens will be looking for a fast start in front.
00:28 A crowd will be hoping for three points.
00:32 Early penalty given.
00:34 Benoit Bastien points to the spots.
00:38 It's Chris Lam, Mats Sema with the error.
00:40 Neil Elainawy does superbly to nip in front.
00:44 And Stampp-Ballard won't be waiting very much.
00:55 Elainawy gets in front, gets his toe to the ball,
01:00 and it's clumsy.
01:00 Can he send Stampp-Ballard to Wild's here?
01:07 Get Lens off to a flyer.
01:11 It's Sotoka against Diop.
01:13 Sotoka sends the Senegalese keeper the wrong way.
01:18 And Lens have the leads.
01:22 Superbly dispatched efforts from the Frenchman.
01:25 And when you talk about dream starts...
01:31 He barely kicked off.
01:36 Franck Hezes...
01:39 Nicely turned through the legs there.
01:42 Bastien.
01:43 Now Nampolis-Mendy, bursting forward, Sotoka's in there.
01:48 The goal kick given.
01:51 Can't add to his goal from earlier, from the spots.
01:59 It's the seventh of the season.
02:02 Florian Sotoka.
02:04 Frankowski's delivery, Elainawy's there.
02:14 The French forwards, Frankowski looking to deliver the assist.
02:19 It's a great cross, a great pick-out.
02:22 Wight.
02:23 Firing over the bar, another let-off for Clermont.
02:27 Slightly wrong.
02:29 It's a big opportunity.
02:31 It's a big opportunity for the Frenchman.
02:34 It's a big opportunity for the Frenchman.
02:37 It's a big opportunity for the Frenchman.
02:40 Slightly wrong, it's a big opportunity for Lens.
02:45 Clermont.
02:47 Getting away with one again, well, that's terrible from Gastien.
02:51 Fulgini's in again.
02:53 Just had that free-kick attempt.
02:57 Gastien, what's he doing?
03:03 Across his own box.
03:06 Clermont playing with fire at the moment.
03:09 Fulgini pointing out the fact that the yellow card's showing there too.
03:15 The loss number nine.
03:18 Mbembe Keita running into danger.
03:25 Sotoka, chance for a second, clips the post.
03:29 Florian Sotoka.
03:31 Clermont playing themselves into trouble once again.
03:37 Sotoka looking to take advantage again.
03:40 One-and-off Keita here.
03:43 Curls one into that far corner bridge.
03:47 Virginius went out.
03:49 Here's why.
03:50 Held off Pellmar.
03:52 Went to the corner.
03:54 The loss.
03:55 Much of the frustration there of their home supporters
03:59 aren't going to be allowed to take it.
04:04 A very quick penalty shot has the home side up 1-0 in a landslide.
04:10 We're going to take a break and come back with the highlights
04:13 of the first half of football here on BN Sports.
04:16 That's with one more game to be ahead of Metz and Lorient
04:20 and maybe aspire to the relegation playoff.
04:24 The second half.
04:33 Lorient.
04:34 Florian.
04:36 Metz.
04:38 Florian.
04:40 Clermont have won.
04:41 Illy-Wai is in here early on in the second half.
04:46 Mauri Theo with the stop.
04:49 Nearly a dream start to this half as well.
04:53 Mainz does brilliantly.
04:56 Mauri Theo saved, I think by his feet.
05:01 Winning the last four.
05:03 Did the double last season.
05:07 A 4-0 win.
05:08 Instead Gabriel Montpierre, a 2-1 win here.
05:11 Thanks to goals from that man that was just on the screen, Wesley Said.
05:15 Second full fan.
05:18 Erilay now.
05:24 Forward come Walsh.
05:26 And in numbers.
05:28 Fulgini.
05:31 Decent delivery.
05:32 Might find its way in.
05:34 It's Elaine Nawi.
05:35 Off the bar.
05:37 But it's Medina.
05:39 To head home on the hour march.
05:43 They've been threatening all game.
05:47 For that second goal.
05:49 And finally it arrives.
05:51 The Argentine.
05:53 With his second of the campaign.
05:57 Superbly done from Sotoko initially.
05:59 Elaine Nawi.
06:02 Finding Fulgini.
06:06 He continued his run into the box.
06:08 But the Moroccan.
06:09 Fell to him there.
06:11 He couldn't head home.
06:13 He crashes off the crossbar.
06:16 But Medina makes sure of it.
06:19 And wants, they have that two goal cushion.
06:22 And it's in.
06:25 Clermont.
06:26 Have it all today.
06:28 Well.
06:33 It'll be a VAR check though.
06:35 Clermont passed the app.
06:37 To come across to.
06:39 It's for this challenge from Sotoko.
06:45 On Roshani in the build up to the goal.
06:48 Does he get enough of the ball?
06:54 Then my bestie up.
06:55 He's going to give the free kick.
06:58 Oh, yes, again, another let off.
07:03 For the visitors Medina.
07:05 No.
07:09 At the post at the bar.
07:11 At the ball in the back of the nets.
07:13 Here they are in again.
07:15 Really why.
07:16 Denied once more.
07:19 By Mori.
07:22 By Mori Diop.
07:24 A superb stop.
07:27 And then Haiwai again who must be thinking.
07:30 What has he got to do to beat.
07:32 Clermont goalkeeper.
07:37 Scored in the reverse fixture but.
07:39 That's twice tonight he's been denied.
07:41 Ball into the area.
07:43 Dancil's in there.
07:44 It's Eli Nawi.
07:45 Laws have the ball in the back of the net.
07:51 Who's champ?
07:52 Looks for Gréjon Kee.
07:54 Magna.
07:58 It's a hopeful punt into the box but it could fall here.
08:01 For Mohamed Champ.
08:03 Not far away.
08:05 From the Austrian.
08:06 If they have to hold on to this victory.
08:11 Get those second and.
08:13 Potentially third goals.
08:15 Out came Brice Sompa.
08:19 Didn't get there.
08:20 Gréjon Kee.
08:21 With a golden opportunity.
08:24 That's what Clermont have waited for.
08:27 Sompa came out.
08:30 Disastrous from him.
08:32 So unlike the goalkeeper.
08:35 Again.
08:39 Sealed and delivered.
08:41 Champ.
08:43 Finds Roshani.
08:45 Bilbasan Roshani with the shot.
08:47 Fall for Gréjon Kee.
08:49 Gréjon Kee.
08:50 Once again that's a.
08:54 Big opportunity.
08:56 For Clermont.
08:58 Failed to take it.
09:00 Brice Sompa.
09:01 Top quality player.
09:02 Replaced by.
09:05 Morgan Kouilhavougi incidentally.
09:07 Nicely done by Kouilhavougi.
09:11 Sotaka hits the post again.
09:13 And it's just one of those evenings.
09:19 With.
09:20 It was long here too.
09:23 The substitute.
09:24 And his first involvement.
09:25 Was nearly an assist.
09:27 Brilliantly taken down.
09:30 A lovely set for Sotaka.
09:32 That one.
09:36 Smashing the post.
09:38 It's a victory nonetheless.
09:46 Memoir Batsy Young brings.
09:47 A close to the contest.
09:49 A one sided contest.
09:51 But a.
09:52 A win is a win is a win.
09:56 The score stays 1-0.
09:58 With the penalty kick taken.
10:00 At the first few minutes of the game.
10:02 Could have used more goals in their battle against Nice.
