00:00Of course, a matchup in which Lyon faces a phase with which they're really familiar.
00:15Challenge for Ahmed Cantari and Nantes today with the visit of Lyon.
00:19The struggling Canaries have not won in front of their home fans since August.
00:24Lyon on a...
00:25It's actually their best run since 2018 when they won eight on the bounce.
00:30Some tons of sides.
00:33That's the marauding right back.
00:45They come Nantes, a rare attack for them.
00:49The shot has just gone wide from Mohamed Kabat.
00:53Well, the new boy looking to make a really run with great power and purpose there.
00:58Mohamed Kabat.
01:00Didn't have too many options, so went for it.
01:04Decent strike.
01:06The man was left at Lecce in Italy.
01:09So, Lyon Awan, French football, eight times champions last time in the 20-01.
01:19Abner, the ball outside to Moreira.
01:22Moreira with a bit of space.
01:23Still Moreira!
01:24And what's sake by Lopez.
01:26Just stuck a boot out.
01:29And he did the job.
01:33Challenge from Santons.
01:35Might get into a bit of trouble.
01:38Nice effort from...
01:39Moreira...
01:40Moreira...
01:41...lead through by Abner.
01:50Suddenly, lots of noise around the Stade Bourgeois.
01:52La Bourgeois, it's a wonderful stadium.
01:55Still north of the city centre in Nantes.
02:00Some great Ligue 1, European nights over the years.
02:03Abner.
02:05Moreira.
02:06Seen a lot of the ball early on.
02:07Endrick on the other side of the pitch.
02:11There's no one marking him.
02:12That's why that's such a good ball to him.
02:15Endrick outside of the boot.
02:16That's a good ball back to Tesman!
02:20So close, the American.
02:25The fan group's not happy about the direction of the club.
02:31Comes Narte.
02:33Endrick.
02:34Back to Narte.
02:35Narte's shot!
02:36And it's just bubble-wide.
02:39Maker, rather than the taker here.
02:40He's going to take this corner.
02:42Young Brazilian.
02:45Keeps it simple.
02:47Morton.
02:50He's going to fall to Moreira.
02:52Moreira tries his luck!
02:54And it's gone in!
02:55There's a deflection off Solch!
02:57And Lyon have the first goal.
03:01Looking for a 12th win.
03:03Solch is claiming it.
03:04The Lyon fans are delighted.
03:05Certainly got a big deflection.
03:07Anthony Lopez beaten.
03:09And Lyon have the breakthrough.
03:13Might go to Pavel Solch.
03:16Or Moreira.
03:17Lyon don't care.
03:18They're 1-0 up.
03:18Those Lyon fans are delighted.
03:24They've been seeing their team get win after win.
03:28Let's take another look at that one.
03:30Endrick actually played it back.
03:32Morton into the danger area.
03:35Moreira did well.
03:36And Solch stuck out of the boot.
03:42And the top scorer gets another top scorer into double figures.
03:49More problems for Nantes.
03:52Immediately on the break.
03:54Here's Mohamed.
03:58Puts it in.
04:00First touch not good enough.
04:03Second touch goes...
04:05To a Lyon player.
04:08Nantes.
04:08Endrick's down again.
04:09He's furious at his treatment.
04:11But that means Moreira has some space.
04:13Moreira.
04:14Moreira.
04:16Goes one way and the other.
04:18Still Moreira.
04:19The back flick.
04:19Endrick over the bar.
04:22Well Endrick sprinted from the other end.
04:27Moreira went one way and the other.
04:29They're pretty good friends already.
04:30Moreira and Endrick.
04:32The ball broke to Endrick.
04:34And that was a really good save.
04:36Lopez keeping Nantes in it.
04:38Super stop.
04:40Lyon have played some really good football these last five minutes.
04:45Nantes are rocking.
04:49That at all.
04:49A little bit windy.
04:52Near Cate.
04:54Into Mata.
04:58Mata direct to Alfonso.
04:59And that's a pretty good ball.
05:01Alfonso Moreira.
05:03Moreira.
05:07Endrick.
05:08Decides to cross.
05:09Cotter clears.
05:11Back to Tessman.
05:12It's going to come back through to Moreira.
05:14Moreira.
05:19It's going to turn from Moreira.
05:24It's 0.7 for his nine goals.
05:26So he's really overperforming.
05:31Cabella.
05:36Greif goes long.
05:37And that's the last kick of the first half.
05:39So some boos for the home team and the white team, of course, because.
05:48Lyon lead 1-0 at halftime.
05:50The goal from the top scorer, Pavel Solch.
05:53As they look to make it 12 wins on the bounce in all competitions.
05:56Nia Cate has really put a foot wrong today, I used to say.
06:06It's done so well.
06:06There will be a chance here for the nonsense set.
06:23Threaded through.
06:24But a good save.
06:26It's put behind by Greif.
06:27Turn from the veteran striker.
06:33Just put wide.
06:36For the near post, did El Arabi.
06:40Trying to surprise.
06:47Corner in front of those travelling Lyon fans.
06:49It's swung in and the header's going to go over.
06:51In the second half, Abilene again.
06:58Abilene, the young, hope in this non-side.
07:01El Arabi.
07:03Swung in, is he going to come to El Arabi?
07:05Oh, he's come off the post.
07:07So unlucky for not, the substitute.
07:10El Arabi got a connection.
07:11But he certainly knows what he's doing in the penalty area.
07:15He was knocked in, he found some space.
07:17And Greif was beaten.
07:19But the post was hit.
07:20That's unlucky for Nantes.
07:29Tontons with the cross.
07:31When things are not going your way, it tends to happen.
07:36Nantes still goalless tonight.
07:39Sulc makes the run.
07:41Back to Morton.
07:47Hendrick, first touch is good.
07:48And immediately is opposite number.
07:51Sabibu looks in a bit of trouble there.
07:53And it's going to go the way of Nantes, interestingly enough.
07:56It was Hendrick with that foul.
07:59Some of the Nantes fans are screaming for another yellow.
08:01Remember, Hendrick got a yellow.
08:04Explaining to do.
08:05Lyon, do not understand.
08:07That was four.
08:08It was a bit of a late kick.
08:09And finally, after all that, Vernice is going to have a look at his monitor.
08:15Seems quite the right thing to do.
08:17Sending a player off does have a big impact on a match.
08:20It's just...
08:22I'm sure, was that a red card challenge?
08:25Our decisions are given for reds.
08:31Anthony Lopez having a word.
08:32Well, this is up to Mathieu Vernice.
08:34Let's see what he decides.
08:36Big decision here.
08:49This is going to have a big impact on the match.
08:53Mathieu Vernice.
08:57The red card is brandished.
09:01And Hendrick is sent off.
09:02Pulls it forward.
09:05Something for Solch to run on to.
09:07Solch is going to chase that one down all night, you know.
09:11And he's won a corner.
09:13That's...
09:13Oh, he hasn't.
09:14Excuse me.
09:14That was a corner.
09:15But nevertheless, he's gained a few precious seconds.
09:20He's worked very hard.
09:30Kotsa.
09:32Play through from Le Penant.
09:42What a danger here for Lyon.
09:44It's knocked in the corner.
09:46It's a good header from El Arabi.
09:47And a super save from Dominic Greif.
09:52Really well positioned there.
09:54Found some space through himself at the ball.
09:56And a good save from Dominic Greif.
09:59Close in the 51st.
10:01Proof to be a very useful sub tonight.
10:07Solch.
10:08Solch looks to go all the way.
10:11Nantes.
10:12Their fans believe.
10:14Machado.
10:14Abilene.
10:18Tregs on the ball, but determined to get it back.
10:20The youngster.
10:22Lyon out for a scrap as well.
10:23Abilene is just playing ahead of him.
10:35Solch.
10:35No foul there.
10:38Can not make the most of it.
10:39Game opening up of it.
10:40Here's Gerasi.
10:41An exciting youngster.
10:42Gerasi.
10:43The slalom through.
10:45Machado tries his luck.
10:48The long run shot coming in from Le Penant.
10:50Finally.
10:52Impressive Nantes.
10:55Shoved off the ball from Coglat.
10:59From El Arabi.
11:03Machado.
11:05Grassy.
11:06Great challenge from Clinton Matter.
11:10The Lyon fans love that.
11:23Second minute of stoppage.
11:25Miscute clearance.
11:27It's going to come to Gerasi.
11:28Oh, it's in the post.
11:33Youngsters always are desperate to get on.
11:38That shot.
11:41Message from Nia Kata.
11:42It seems to be that it is over.
11:46It certainly is.
11:48Lyon have...
11:48...
