00:00Leo wants a gate crash the title fight and tonight they face an Orsea team who've impressed
00:08at home in their fight for survival and two of the top strikers on show tonight Hamed
00:13Traore and Jonathan David who will go home with the points tonight.
00:20Orsea in the whites, first bit of defending to do for them against a Leo team who have
00:26huge confidence coming here, 18 games in all competitions including the Champions League
00:31but Lille are doing really well including winning against Real Madrid on a famous night.
00:37It's going to be an equally tricky tie though because Lille at home are third in the world
00:44especially after beating Real Madrid.
00:51Andre with the strike and that's a really good save from Theo Depersin who may be a
00:56stand in but showing he's a pretty good one.
01:00Jubbal the captain, it's a clever ball through, Siniyoko, Siniyoko puts it into the danger
01:09area, Traore hits it high and wide but that's encouraging.
01:13Nice touch from Traore, still Traore, Traore does well, is this going to be the chance?
01:21Siniyoko, three, four red shirts but Siniyoko does well, holds the ball up and wins the
01:28corner.
01:31Initially really good work from Hamed Traore.
01:44Kabeya has come very deep here he is, Kabeya, Kabeya screaming for the ball again, right
01:55on the right hand side, there'll be time for him to get it in this first half.
02:01Benjamin Andre, Ismaili, that's it for the first half, Lille knowing that they can.
02:12And we don't have time for more in the first half, Auxerre and Lille are drawing nil-nil
02:20in the first 45 minutes but don't go anywhere, the best is yet to come, we have so much more
02:24Rambin sports, let's go to a break and we're coming back.
02:34We're underway in the second half, Auxerre against Lille, goalless in the first half,
02:41decent chance for each team, Paul Joly, they're sailing to get the second half underway, right
02:49style as far as they're concerned, whipped in by Owusu, no changes at halftime, there's
03:01the momentum, see the middle, Gomez, it's a nice ball through to Haraldsen, suddenly
03:08Haraldsen is through, is that a penalty?
03:11Jonathan David is calling for one and Lille have a penalty early in the second half, it
03:17was brilliant work from Haraldsen, Auxerre making their case but it was a clumsy challenge,
03:25the Icelandic player is down and Gael Ongula took his time, let's have another look at
03:30that one, offside was a question, it looks like he was the right side and Jubbal just
03:38sliding into Haraldsen, there wasn't too much contact, this is a nice angle to have
03:43a look at it, VAR will certainly check it.
03:54Was there enough of a tackle there, enough of a challenge, it looks like Jubbal maybe
03:59trying to pull out of it, this is a big, big call for the VAR team, it's led by Hakim
04:12Ben El Hadj, I think we know what Christophe Pellissier thinks should be the decision.
04:27So will Gael Ongula be asked to have another look at it, certainly Jubbal came steaming
04:33in but right at the end of that challenge it looked like he might have just stopped.
04:43Theo de Persan be facing a penalty I wonder, Hakon Haraldsen believes that he was brought
04:54down.
04:59Real tension, real drama, Stade de la Baie-de-Champs holding its breath, clearly a tricky one to
05:10decide because VAR are really having a good look at this one.
05:30Challenge from the captain, Jubbal on Haraldsen, VAR is having a look at it, quite rightly
05:37so, that's what they're there for, there's nothing wrong with them taking their time.
05:47This cold, cold night in Burgundy, it's nice to see that Gael Ongula seeing the bright
05:53sides.
05:54I don't think Christophe Pellissier is getting much cheer out of this decision and the good
06:02news for Orsayer is that Gael Ongula is going to just trot over to the monitor and have
06:08another look at it.
06:11Did Jubbal really make any kind of contact there, even if there wasn't contact, was it
06:21a rash challenge, could still be given even if there's no contact but it was a real curious
06:28one and you see that kind of tackle very often, Jubbal just seemed to dive into the
06:33player with the ball a long, long way away.
06:41Foul or no foul, that's Gael Ongula's job.
06:54I can hear some of the Orsayer technical staff saying that he was looking for it, looking
07:04for the foul rather than actually being fouled, it's a big, big decision and a tricky one
07:12because it's not a conventional challenge by any means, doesn't necessarily have to
07:19be contact for there to be a foul, it should be contact from the arm there as you can see
07:29so that's a really tough call for Gael Ongula and that's why he's a top flight referee,
07:36one of the best in the business, the fans not liking this at all, here's the decision.
07:48No penalty, relief for Orsayer and Gael Ongula has decided that that was not worth a foul
08:00and Bruno Genesio not happy with that decision and it's going to...
08:05Comes back to Davids, nicely done, Bouadi and that was the chance and just wide from
08:13Haraldsson, the player who thought he had a penalty just a few seconds ago, it was nicely
08:19worked from David, he shows that he can make goals as well as score them, knocked across
08:24by Douati, was that a foul?
08:27Haraldsson believes that there was a foul and more drama in Burgundy, remember just
08:35a few seconds ago, Lille thought they had a penalty, VAR overturned it and there Haraldsson
08:42thought he was being pulled back and Gomes not happy, third yellow, well VAR of course
09:01will have a look at this one as well, Andre Gomes, vastly experienced Portuguese midfielder
09:09insisted that this was a penalty, well this is the incident a few minutes ago which was
09:17not a penalty and we've had just a bit of a tug on the Icelandic player's shirt since
09:24then, well well, Ongula is going to have a look at it, what a second half we've had,
09:34was that a tug on the shirt, Paul Joly pulling back Haraldsson, was that enough for a penalty?
09:41Hakan Haraldsson being impeded by Paul Joly, penalty, what incredible scenes at the Stade
09:56L'Ave des Gents, just seconds after VAR turning over a penalty and it's going to be a red,
10:03Paul Joly can't believe it, the Orsay fans are on their feet, but the letter of the law
10:11has been implemented, Gael Ongula says that that was a goal scoring chance and that means
10:18a penalty and that means a red card, real drama, but there was a tug on the shirt, you see it there,
10:28Christoph Pellissier can't believe it, red card, penalty, disaster for Orsay.
10:49Gael Ongula is going to come, maybe give a card to a member of the technical staff,
10:53there's another red card and it's getting from bad to worse for Orsay, well well, the foul from
11:04Joly on Haraldsson, not just a penalty, but denial of a goal scoring opportunity, red card.
11:18Well well, Jonathan Davies got five penalties this season, he's certainly coming to wait to take this one.
11:39Rich goal scoring form.
11:41Gael Ongula has given a penalty, sent off Paul Joly and here's a real chance now for Lille to take the lead.
11:57Lille earns top goal scorer with a real chance to put Lille ahead,
12:11five penalties scored this season, the so-called Iceman steps up, Jonathan Davies, it's saved,
12:21remarkable saves, is that another penalty? Haraldsson goes down again, Jonathan Davies denied.
12:30Dramatic scenes and suddenly Orsay think they might be able to get one, Traore,
12:38Ismaili puts it out of danger, incredible scenes at the Stadion.
12:43Diakite, Alexandro, nearly 10 minutes of stoppage time played, Alexandro again,
12:58Diakite, Baio can't get to it and that might well be that, Theo Depersin fittingly has the last touch
13:07because he, and the match is over, Auxerre and Lille, no goals in 90 minutes,
13:16thank you for being here with us on Bench Sports, see you the next time with all the action of Ligue 1.
