00:00In the early weeks of this Ligue 1 season, Olympique Lyonnais and A.S. Monaco, two of the great names in French football.
00:10Monaco last season's runners-up, looking to build on a victory in their opening game of this campaign against Saint-Étienne last weekend.
00:18Lyon had that remarkable finish to last season, which sort of smashed European qualification,
00:23but who started this season with a horrible 3-0 defeat away to Rennes in Brittany.
00:29And they're looking to make up for that today in front of their own fans here at the Aiglons.
00:35Mightily impressive last night.
00:38Here come Lyon on the offensive, ball into the middle, and it's turned away by Yacobs.
00:47First opportunity for the home team to create something.
01:00Kihinamino already getting a sense that this could be an end-to-end.
01:04Humdinger, Elias Benseguer, tried the shot.
01:09Hanna being encouraged to take on his man.
01:12Zakaria coming across to help cover for Monaco.
01:16This is Maitland-Niles, Kakre.
01:23Just a big empty space.
01:26Now Lyon can burst forward. This might be the chance for Agnès Nouraimai.
01:29Couldn't get that ball under control.
01:32And Ismael Yacobs, all credit.
01:38Monaco have not won here since their title-winning 2016-17 season, in the league anyway.
01:47Not won here in the Coupe de France in the intervening period, but they've lost their last six visits in the league.
01:56Benseguer, this might be a chance for Mbolo.
02:00It was off-balance, it's a let-off from Lyon.
02:08Yacobs with the ball in, brought down by Mbolo, might just fall for Minamino.
02:12Takumi Minamino, it's a brilliant save by Lucas Perry, to divert that ball onto the post and away.
02:19Transfer window, they do need to recoup quite a lot from sales, I think it's fair to say, in the coming days.
02:27Van der Sar.
02:30Blocked by Abner.
02:34Monaco can break again, now there is space on the right-hand side for Van der Sar, powering forward.
02:40Minamino brings it to Agliouge.
02:44Mbolo trying to return it to Agliouge, the option there was surely to play it.
02:48Bielsage is beyond lucky, really, to be...
02:55...been on top and...
02:57So this is the first half, Olympique Lyonnais and Monaco, nil-nil in the first 45 minutes.
03:03Let's go to a break and we will have so much more after the break, so don't go anywhere, you're watching Beansports,
03:09Olympique Lyonnais and Monaco, without goals in the first half.
03:12Seguia.
03:14Field to Minamino, Takumi Minamino back to Mbolo, this is good play from Monaco, Mbolo shot...
03:20...over the bar from...
03:22Most of Monaco is attacking in the first half, Cape down the left at the moment, Van der Sar...
03:27...prancing down the right, a cross blocked, it's come back to the Brazilian.
03:31Here is Agliouge.
03:42A bit of a mix-up there between Sadio Souza and Caria.
03:52Agliouge, trying to short-box.
03:56a bit of a mix-up there between Sany Su and Zakaria
04:10Agliouche flags the shot wide, Kaké came across to make the block into Zakaria
04:18it's going to come to Agliouche, a bit of hesitation between goalkeeper and defender
04:23and then Bolo with the overhead kick
04:26Ben Seguirre, this time the shot from Ben Seguirre has gone in
04:38oh it's a goal that's been coming
04:43Monaco finally getting the breakthrough here in Lyon
04:48thanks to Elias Ben Seguirre, the Principality side lead by a goal to near save
04:53just a few moments ago, Monaco again coming forward
04:55Ben Seguirre collecting the ball deep in a central position
04:58coming in off the left
05:02exchanging passes with Magnés Agliouche
05:04he was surrounded by white shirts but he was still able to
05:09just sneak a shot into the far corner beyond the reach of the goalkeeper
05:18and the 19 year old Ben Seguirre puts Monaco in front
05:23to the delight of Adi Hürtel, their coach
05:26you have to say they deserve a save just a few moments ago
05:28Monaco again coming forward, Ben Seguirre collecting the ball deep in a central position
05:33coming in off the left
05:36exchanging passes with Magnés Agliouche
05:38he was surrounded by white shirts but he was still able to
05:43just sneak a shot into the far corner beyond the reach of the goalkeeper
05:53and the 19 year old Ben Seguirre puts Monaco in front
05:58to the delight of Adi Hürtel, their coach
06:01you have to say they deserve a save
06:03Palace in English Premier League
06:05ball in from Zakaria
06:08away by Douye Caleta-Sarr
06:12Jacobs, goal towards Tete
06:16on his debut, that was nearly
06:197 points from their first 14 games
06:22Eleni Kerrard to make it 2
06:24in the end it was straight at the goalkeeper
06:26in the end the offside flag coming up
06:31Mikko Tante
06:33needs to be that sense of urgency about Lyon now
06:44Zakaria
06:46have to leave more spaces which Monaco might be able to exploit
06:49Kassoum Ouattara with the ball out to Jacobs
06:52Tese again making the run forward from right back
06:55again he was the target
06:57later they come here to Lyon
06:59to play Belgium
07:02ball into the middle, this time it should be 2-0
07:05it is the same move again that Monaco
07:09have tried to exploit several times in recent minutes
07:14another low ball in from the left
07:16another player arriving in the box to apply the finish
07:19it's 2-0 to Monaco and that is surely game over
07:27Lamine Kamara
07:28the Senegalese from FC Metz
07:32making the run into the box
07:34Jacobs playing the ball out to the left hand side
07:36Ouattara the substitute
07:38with the ball in
07:40and they were queuing up
07:42in the end it was Lamine Kamara who applied the finish
07:46and that is probably a fair reflection now on the way the game has gone
07:51Monaco have clear daylight between themselves and the home team
07:55and the three points are heading back to the Principality
08:05now in comes the challenge just outside the penalty box
08:09and it is a second yellow card for Lamine Kamara
08:14and a disappointing finish to the game for Monaco
08:18because Lamine Kamara has been so impressive today
08:21he got his first goal for his new club
08:25and that means very little today's match
08:27but two needless late bookings
08:31for the Senegal midfield of a new signing
08:34unable to get the shot in and that is that
08:36the final whistle goes
08:41so the match is over and Monaco have just won
08:452-0 against Olympique Lyonnais
08:482-0
