00:00But since 2010, have Lens and Lille locked horns in the Derby du Nord with both sides level on points in the standings.
00:11That is the case here as fifth placed Lens hosts fourth placed Lille.
00:16And already Lille on the attack with a chance, rifled over by Zagreba.
00:21That would have been some start, 16 seconds on the clock as Zagreba, unopposed, fires over.
00:28Zeraoui with a dangerous cross and the first test for the Lille defence.
00:45It's going to be a corner to the home side.
00:47Dangerous ball in that from Zeraoui from the back.
00:52Thomasson again delivers, dangerously, this time Alexandre was there.
00:59Possibilities though for Lens.
01:02Real possibilities, what a stop from Chevalier.
01:05Lens so close to going in front, they might do so here, no.
01:13It's well defended, decent, Lille indebted to their brilliant young goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier.
01:20Such a dangerous ball in and it was well met by Zeraoui.
01:32Klusenov is there, now Medina.
01:34Good ball through from Medina, Chevalier just hesitated but responded then in the nick of time.
01:44Trying to turn, the header from Kevin Danso.
01:49Back defending is Alexandre and he's been fouled and I think we are now going to have the first yellow card.
01:56Probably won't be the last, Adrian Thomasson.
01:59He's on a bit of a tightrope now.
02:07Gomez to Zagreba, not easy.
02:11Gomez trying to put Klusenov under pressure.
02:14Here is the Englishman again.
02:17Zagreba, chance for Zagreba.
02:20He's hit it too close to Samba.
02:29Kevin Danso, fit and available again, such an important player for Lens.
02:40Klusenov.
03:01Retained possession.
03:03Kittis lost it, Enzola now.
03:06He's got Sotika to his left, Enzola going it alone.
03:10And now perhaps, Thomasson.
03:13Side-footed effort, he'll get away with one.
03:16Just a moment ago, look at this.
03:21Thomasson won possession, Enzola could have picked out Sotika, went for goal himself.
03:27This is Andy Djurov.
03:32Thomasson towards Sotika.
03:37This is Andy Djurov.
03:40Thomasson towards Sotika.
03:43Big opportunity for Lens.
03:49To Angel Gomez.
03:51Lens defend it well.
03:57Still going, goes for goal and De Chevalier gets down to stop.
04:02Lens.
04:07Lille have defended that without too much trouble and the referee brings the first half to a close.
04:12Lens have pushed hard.
04:23So Lens have 45 minutes to try to find a winning goal.
04:27They've pushed hard in the first half but haven't yet found a way past Lucas Chevalier.
04:37Lille will be hoping to produce more of an attacking threat in this second period, having spent much of the first half defending.
04:44Space for Pouy.
04:47Pouy's cut back, the dummy from Djurov, this is Sotika.
04:51And the shot finally coming in from Thomasson.
04:54Thomasson to move this.
04:57Tom Pouy's cross was a dangerous one.
05:02Well headed away by Diakite.
05:05And now Lille can counter David.
05:09David fouled by Pouy and Pouy is going to be booked.
05:12He was already given a stern warning previously.
05:15Spare into the book then.
05:18Yeah, no doubt about that one.
05:21Moukou losing out to Djurov.
05:24And now Fulgini.
05:26Fulgini, very cynically taken down by Thomas Meunier in another yellow card.
05:35This is Moukou.
05:38Riley Saint-Mayor.
05:40This is Moukou.
05:45And now play is called back and it's a yellow card for Grady.
05:50A lot of intensity, a lot of...
05:59Are we going to have a twist? Are we going to have a moment of magic?
06:03That's from Zagreba, that's from a home player.
06:07Performances from both of these two teams in recent times hasn't been vintage.
06:17Meunier.
06:21Zagreba back to Thomas Meunier.
06:25Zagreba's cross, a dangerous one towards the near post.
06:28Appeals for a handball and the referee...
06:32What's he given?
06:35Didn't blow his whistle immediately.
06:37Let's have a look here, it has struck Kevin Danso on the arm.
06:42He's got a knee in his face straight afterwards.
06:44Real Madrid, now...
06:47Oh hang on, hang on, we may not have a penalty because Benoit Bastien has been asked to come and have another look.
06:56Now does he go back on his decision?
07:02What's the decision?
07:06He maintains his call.
07:08Benoit Bastien decides he was right.
07:15Who's ringing around?
07:17Mustafi, Felix, Polar, Delelis.
07:19Jonathan David against Brice Samba.
07:26And David has surely won it for Real.
07:32The Canadian in the 98th minute scores his penalty.
07:38Week in, week out at the moment, unstoppable.
07:42Brice Samba decided to wait, decided to stay on his feet.
07:46And there was no way he could get across to that.
08:02The referee showing a yellow card to Jonathan.
08:04It started with nil-nil draw last Friday.
08:09So what, eight days ago, nil-nil draw at Monaco, which is not a bad result.
08:133-1 win at Atletico Madrid and now...
08:19And now Lille can bring the play upfield.
08:22Look at this, it's two Lille strikers against the goalkeeper Mohamed Baio to score.
08:28Saved by Samba, no.
08:30It's gone through Brice Samba.
08:32And now Lille can celebrate with abandon.
08:37They know they've done it.
08:40Really well played by Fernandes Pardo.
08:43And then the speed of Mohamed Baio.
08:46He could have fed Zhegrov, but he is a striker and wanted to go for goal himself.
08:51And he's been proved right.
08:53Good enough shot, just about to get beyond goal.
08:56Good enough shot, just about to get beyond Brice Samba.
09:07A remarkable end to this Derby du Nord.
09:15And Lille now stretches their lead in the Derby du Nord by 10 wins.
09:2047 wins to less than 37 and they do it.
09:24So it's 2-0 Lille and it might be third at the table at the end of the matchday.
