00:00It's Montpellier up against Toulouse in this Ligue 1 battle of Occitania, match day nine
00:10in France's elite league, 18th against 16th, the battle for points at the bottom of the
00:17table is going to be fiercely fought out between these two teams who are very close to one
00:25another down in southwest France. In fact, this is the only clash between these two teams
00:34where they don't actually take a flight on an aeroplane, they actually take the team bus
00:40into the midfield and send quite quickly forward and that's a good chance for Joshua King,
00:51it's a first time ball over into the penalty box, Cabajo can't do anything with it and
00:56it's been given back to King, let's see what he can do with this, can he get the ball back
00:59over, there's your goal and Toulouse firing into the back of the net, but I think that
01:05the linesman has reacted to that, this again, well that's very close isn't it and the initial
01:17call was on Joshua King in fact, because there's nothing wrong with that, he's in an onside
01:24position and you can see that Aboukalaz is, yeah definitely going up to, there it is,
01:36it's a goal and they can celebrate, there's a chance for them to get the ball over, it's
01:40Nordin, there's the ball comes back to Savanier into the penalty box dealt with by Sidibe,
01:46they go racing out of the penalty box and yeah the ball come down, oh it's a nice ball through
01:54as well, another chance for goal number two, there it is and look at that, he's at it again,
02:00Aboukalaz gets his second in the space of a minute and Toulouse just can't believe their
02:08eyes. Challenged is that man Aboukalaz, look at that ball there, that was absolutely perfectly
02:15placed, well waited, the goalkeeper Benjamin Lacan couldn't do anything, Sidibe sends it
02:23round the side, first time finish there for Aboukalaz, two goals in two. These are the
02:32games that they need to win against the teams that are also struggling at the wrong end of
02:39the table. Opportunity, that's a great through ball, the flag stays down, goal number three,
02:45that is absolutely incredible and this time Joshua King is the man, it just looks so easy.
02:54Easy chance there to find the back of the net, well they might be a little bit offside, we'll
03:01have to see if the referee reacts to that but that's the through ball and you can see that
03:06Mourinho Sanyam, unable to get near him, puts his hand up to say there was offside but excellent
03:14play, look at that through ball there, wonderfully done and this time Aboukalaz offering the puck.
03:20I think they might go back, I don't think it's going to be allowed, yeah I did think that he
03:31was just a little bit too quick so it's offside as you can see and that's another ball that's
03:36gone over the shop, he's an onside position, excellent play and a shot that comes in from
03:42Aboukalaz looking for his hat-trick, quick ball, it's perfectly sent in his direction from his
03:54captain Van San Siro, look at that, that could have been a wonderful goal, he knows that he struck
04:00it quite well but just nicely done, we haven't seen too much of him just yet, he's got King
04:04down to the left-hand side, that's a good ball as well, picked up by Siano, oh it's nicely done,
04:09can't get his shot in, absolutely brilliant stuff, they've given the ball away, well he's going again
04:18surely, he's going to get the ball to King, King in the back of the net and Aboukalaz sets up King
04:23who gets his goal and there it is, Toulouse get a third goal and after the disappointment of that
04:30disallowed goal from offside, King is back on the throne celebrating what is an emphatic start to
04:39this, look at that for a poor pass, Aboukalaz sets it up, King opens up that right foot, sees
04:49exactly where he's going to put it, goalkeeper Lacan goes the wrong way and it fires into the
04:56back of the net to make it 3-0.
05:07And Savaniye is going to leave it for Bobby Kazri, it's still far out isn't it, but he's scored some
05:16beauties for Tunisia and there's a great effort there from the Tunisian, that's how you should be
05:23taking it, right over the top, Orestes, that's nicely done by Zingoula, over to Ossila this time,
05:31there's a player down in the penalty box and
05:33they're making small inroads, it's Ferry, Ferry's flicking the ball over the top and it's been kept in play
05:47and decent cross coming in, there's the cross, anybody there? The idea's good, punched away by the goalkeeper
05:55Wasn't the perfect clearance, Kamansi deals with it at the back and Aboukalaz picks it up, long, long shot
06:03straight into the hands of Lacan and they get one last by Monsieur Thomas Luna and yes, the home fans
06:12not happy with this scoreline because it's Montpellier 0, Toulouse 3 here at the Stade de la Monson
06:21in this derby of Occitania.
06:25Second half underway, Montpellier get the ball rolling
06:343-0 Toulouse, two goals scored in the space of two, literally a minute and a half
06:43from Aboukalaz and then the third in the 27th minute, nicely done, Ferry picks it up, good work
06:51that's nicely done, over to the right hand side, great option, now can they get themselves a shot?
06:56There's the shot, well it's well saved there by the goalkeeper, Esti what they're capable of doing
07:01this was the shot that came in from the right hand side, Arnaud Nourda, I thought he pushed it a little
07:06bit too, still in possession, oh that's a little bit of contact there, Kasri, surely that's going
07:13to be a free kick, look at this, this is a comedy of errors, they're flying down like it's going out
07:19of fashion, Caceres jr going down, red card, red card there by Savaniye, captain goes off
07:28look there's the push
07:31you just don't need to do that, lashing out the frustration
07:37of course there's nothing wrong with Caceres jr
07:43given his marching orders
07:45Zingula will take over as the uh as the captain
07:53there's nothing much you can do about that
07:58the 32 year olds
08:04it's just getting worse and worse after a bright start, the first five minutes were bright for
08:11Montpellier, well it's a corner, here he is, Caceres jr into the penalty box, there's the
08:17downward header, oh that was perfectly connected by Creswell, well it was
08:25it was perfect, Creswell's header, got it, head it down
08:30there will be a yellow card, very frustrating, very frustrating, Caceres picks it up
08:52and it's been picked up by King, King puts it on his left foot, over onto his right, gets the shot
08:57in, it's been blocked well by Budzumu, still in possession, nicely done, Gubohu, can he try and
09:03get his shot in, it's been over, it's sent into the penalty box, King can't get on the end of it
09:10and Ovsila at the back, it's a good block, in his third spell at the helm of Montpellier, 40 matches
09:21in charge of in 1998-99, 16 in 2017 and there's that extra man who makes it complicated, Durham,
09:31Durham looking for an option, does well, gets his ball across as well, but again it's been
09:38a teenager who's been playing fantastic football, despite the fact that they've
09:43been in the Premier League.
09:50Down on the ground, nice touch, nicely done and a little bit of a darting run, if they can move into a decent position,
09:58high ball over to the other side, like the way that's uh that was played.
10:11my feet in there in the team of course good opportunity now can they get the ball Babica
10:15gets it across great save a wonderful save that was from Benjamin Leconte let's have a look at
10:22this again nice ball down to the right hand side there's Babica and look at that that was
10:27beautifully set up and a great strike as well from Magritte
10:41you
