00:00His performance tonight, of course, could be crucial if Saint-Etienne hopes to break their awake slump and secure valuable points.
00:16Two newly promoted teams, Longhorns, in a match that could have a huge bearing on who stays up at the end of the season.
00:22Angers and Saint-Etienne have built up a rivalry in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2.
00:26Angers looking for their first win of the season against a Saint-Etienne team just three points above them in the table.
00:35Angers in a change kit then, white and pink. It's pink, part of a campaign to raise awareness for breast cancer.
00:43We wish that campaign the very best indeed. Saint-Etienne in their famous green shirts.
00:52First chance there for the British Vili. It's cut out, it's competitive early on, you'd expect that.
00:59Is there Jim Alavina? Is this going to be the first chance? It's a real chance and it's a goal!
01:06Angers have the early strike they wanted and it's Himad Abdelhi.
01:12The player who has two penalties so far and he has a strike in open play and my word, that's important.
01:22It was a super run from Alavina, a lot of work to do, skipping past Abdelhamid and just stroking it in.
01:29Himad Abdelhi with the first goal of the afternoon.
01:41It was a really good strike, he had to show real composure there and you could see how important it is for Angers, an early strike.
01:53This is the chance for Bouchoiri.
01:57Backs to Bouchoiri and it's over the bar. Decent strike from Pierre Équart for his first goal for Saint-Etienne, that one floated over.
02:12Saint-Etienne go direct.
02:14Running to clear Saint-Etienne, what a penalty! Saint-Etienne have a penalty! Lucas Stassart has been fetched.
02:26The kick on Stassart from Jordan Lefort and it's a penalty for the visitors.
02:32Abitashvili, Saint-Etienne's top goal scorer this season. He has three goals and he's denied. What a save but it's gone in.
02:41Well, is that a goal or not? Yaya Bafana initially saved the penalty but I think it's been put in.
02:48A bit of pushing and shoving, Angers can't believe it.
02:51David Abitashvili denied but it was a good reaction and I think the goal is going to be given to Augustin Boakye.
03:01Boakye reacted so well to the goal.
03:05David Abitashvili denied but it was a good reaction and I think the goal is going to be given to Augustin Boakye.
03:18Boakye reacted so well and it's going to be Boakye's goal I think.
03:26David Abitashvili with the penalty, Boakye and it might be given to David Abitashvili.
03:34We'll wait for confirmation but it's a goal for Saint-Etienne by the looks of things.
03:45The save and it was a really good one from Yaya Bafana.
03:55A second bite at the cherry for the Georgian.
04:08David Abitashvili makes no mistake this time and there's no doubt Saint-Etienne have an equaliser.
04:19David Abitashvili from the penalty spot, it's Angers 1-1 Saint-Etienne.
04:25And this was the second and my word a cool finish, it's 1-1.
04:31Leo Petro, it's nicely played through.
04:47David Abitashvili again, David Abitashvili.
04:51My word, he's had a brilliant start to this game.
04:55Matches after today.
04:58Last experience, it's Dijon, Brest and Montpellier.
05:04Another foul, it's going to be a yellow card.
05:07The foul's on Farid El Malaly and the yellow is for Abdelhamid.
05:14Clear tug on the shirt, can't complain about that.
05:26Here comes a free kick.
05:30Going up for the header, it's a brilliant save from La Sonneur.
05:34Taken that chance a few seconds ago.
05:41Franco Garnet and never scored for Saint-Etienne, I'm sure he'd love to get one today.
05:47Four years at Nantes.
05:51Coming in and that's potentially another yellow.
05:55Indeed it is, this time it's...
05:59Marcus, lovely turn.
06:19Took the shot, we gathered quite easily.
06:29El Malaly.
06:33Another crunching tackle.
06:37And I didn't like that one bit.
06:44For the third time in this match there's going to be a yellow card.
06:49Last third, having to do some defending today and a bit of a wild challenge from the Ghana player.
06:57El Malaly will drive this one in.
07:02El Malaly's free kick, it's to the far post.
07:06There's plenty of candidates to have a shot but no one can quite get it under control.
07:10But somehow it's gone in.
07:13Angers have another.
07:15And it's a surprise scorer, Jean-Hugues Ahalou.
07:19Scoring his first goal since March.
07:22And what an important one it is.
07:27Plenty of players just looking to get it goalward.
07:29Saint-Etienne couldn't clear their lines.
07:32And it bubbled, it bounced.
07:34And Ahalou driving it in.
07:37It's 2-1 for Angers.
07:52That penalty hadn't created too much.
07:54Saint-Etienne has to be said.
07:56Nade.
07:58Petrol.
08:02Petrol.
08:04This is good stuff from Saint-Etienne.
08:06Best of crosses.
08:08Davitishvili.
08:10Let the ball bounce to him.
08:12Louis Mouton.
08:14Mouton.
08:15Decent strike.
08:26Lens against Lille, another big one this weekend.
08:29Abdelhamid gets himself into real trouble.
08:32Here's a chance for Angers.
08:35The strike was saved by Lassana.
08:37And over.
08:39Chance for a third.
08:41Abdelhamid getting his team into trouble.
08:51Just a strike.
08:53Might regret that one, Alavina.
09:01Petrol.
09:03Bouchoiri.
09:05Bouchoiri, just over.
09:08What a go from Bouchoiri.
09:12His first start of the season.
09:14Just hooking that one over.
09:34Boakye does so well.
09:36Boakye.
09:38Last ball.
09:40Ending in the arms of Fafana.
09:44One last chance in this first half.
09:47Hooked in.
09:50A long range shot is going to be held by Fafana.
09:52Should be that for the first half.
09:54Boakye denies.
09:56Denies.
10:04So the first 45 minutes are over.
10:06Lille.
10:08So this is how the first 45 minutes are over.
10:10Let's go to a break and we will come back.
10:12Angers winning 2-1 against Sanity.
10:14And we have so much more.
10:16So don't move.
10:18You're watching Beansports.
10:33We're underway in the second half.
10:352-1.
10:37And the goal was from a penalty.
10:39It was twice taken.
10:41And it looks like the reason was actually
10:43an Angers player
10:45just having a foot in the box
10:47when the penalty was taken.
10:49So that was the reason
10:51the penalty was taken twice.
10:53And no mistake from the impressive
10:55Davitesvili.
10:57Former Nantes man cuts inside.
10:59Mouton.
11:01Mouton.
11:03That was a good save for Fafana.
11:05Took a deflection.
11:07Mouton trying his luck from distance.
11:11Too much on.
11:13And the shot was a decent one.
11:15And well held by Fafana.
11:21No one can accuse these two teams
11:23of being called out.
11:25No one can accuse these two teams
11:27of being cautious.
11:29They've both really gone for it.
11:31Three goals so far.
11:33But against another one.
11:35Stassa.
11:37Davitesvili.
11:39It's gone in.
11:41Well, that was a huge deflection.
11:43But Davitesvili has his second goal
11:45of the match.
11:49Sentetien's top scorer
11:51is their main man again.
11:53Yaya Fafana could do nothing about it.
11:55And the goals keep coming.
11:57Take another look at that one.
11:59It was Stassa with some good work.
12:01It was a big, big deflection.
12:03And poor old
12:05Yaya Fafana could do nothing about that.
12:07The shot from Davitesvili.
12:09Looping in.
12:11Looping in.
12:21Mouton.
12:23Good ball out to Davitesvili.
12:25Head down. Driving forward.
12:27On a hat-trick Davitesvili.
12:29Still Davitesvili.
12:31Davitesvili!
12:33Just wide!
12:35One penalty.
12:37One deflected shot.
12:39That's the one for the archives.
12:41Brilliant effort. Just wide.
13:01Amugu is in the middle of the park.
13:03Angers.
13:05Looking to get a lead for a third time.
13:07Comes in.
13:09Oh, it's going to be a penalty!
13:11Sentetien can't believe it.
13:13But OJ fans are dreaming of a third goal.
13:15Get a word from VAR.
13:17It was a good drive forward.
13:21The tackle came in
13:23from Batu Binsika.
13:27The dribble was farried.
13:29And that's a penalty.
13:31Batu Binsika on El-Malaly.
13:33And OJ have a real chance
13:35to get a third.
13:37Nian scored
13:39a good goal last week.
13:41He has the chance
13:43to give OJ a 3-2 lead.
13:45Nian makes no mistake.
13:47OJ have the lead for the third time.
13:49Ibrahim Nian
13:51passed Lassonneur.
13:53And is that
13:55a goal?
13:57It's a goal.
13:59And is that
14:01going to be a first victory
14:03for OJ this season?
14:05They lead 3-2.
14:11Nian had a good look at Lassonneur
14:13who went to his right.
14:15And it was just slid in
14:17by the OJ centre-forward.
14:21It's 3-2.
