00:00 [Music]
00:11 Monaco currently second in the table
00:14 Lyon, ninth
00:16 But in good form, it's Monaco on the attack
00:20 Through Agliou, she's got Minamino to his left as well
00:23 Minamino, back across
00:25 It's been turned in at the far post
00:28 And Benyetta has been flagged offside
00:30 20 seconds on the clock, the ball in the net
00:32 No goal
00:34 Agliou, she was, who won the ball high up the pitch
00:40 Drove forward as he does so well
00:42 Minamino's pass
00:47 Well, he looks onside
00:50 It looks as though O'Brien was playing Benyetta on
00:54 [Music]
01:01 Certainly on that replay, it did not look
01:03 As though Benyetta was offside when Balogun touched it
01:06 Let's have a look again
01:07 It's close, but it looks like O'Brien's playing him on
01:11 Minamino's ball in deflected
01:18 Balogun getting the touch
01:20 Benyetta sharp
01:21 And the goal
01:24 [Music]
01:26 Has been validated, Monaco are celebrating
01:29 With Sam Benyetta
01:31 It was, I think, 23 seconds on the clock
01:35 When the Monaco striker pushed that ball beyond Antony Lopez
01:39 An incredible start from Monaco
01:41 Great form again now
01:42 Agliou
01:43 All the keepers missed it and
01:47 Fortunately for Lopez, a carrier couldn't get on the end of that
01:52 [Music]
01:54 Teasing ball in from Magnus Agliou
01:56 A bit of a communication breakdown as well between Matip
02:00 Now Agliou
02:05 Loves running into space, Magnus Agliou
02:09 The flag doesn't go up
02:11 It's finished off by Balogun
02:14 But the flag goes up, it did look offside
02:18 Super finish from the American international, but it won't count
02:21 Assuming the linesman's got this right
02:24 The break from Agliou
02:26 Just a little bit
02:28 Too late in playing the pass
02:31 [Whistle]
02:37 So a chance for Benrama to test this Monaco defence
02:42 It's played deep, but easy for Majeki
02:48 Now a bit of space for Leon, Benrama
02:50 Kakaray, it's opening up
02:54 Nuama, Nuama's shot lacked conviction
02:57 He really had opened up
03:01 Nicely for the Ghanaian international there
03:04 Kakaray drawing his man and then slipping it into Nuama
03:10 Who may have been offside
03:12 Leon winning back, Matic now
03:17 [Whistle]
03:18 Inside Benrama
03:22 To the byline, he gets it in, great chance, Lacazette will score
03:27 Leon level
03:30 Thanks to their skipper, Alexander Lacazette
03:33 Jake O'Brien with the strong challenge, no foul said the referee
03:38 Matic to Benrama
03:41 Good wing play here, this is a dangerous cross
03:46 And it's caught out, Thilo Kerea
03:48 Misjudged that cross
03:51 Lacazette doesn't miss from there
03:53 Matic, Kakaray, good ball from Kakaray, this is Clinton Mata, his cross is dangerous
04:09 This is Benrama, 2-1
04:15 Leon have turned it around with two quick-fire goals
04:18 Oh, this Leon side
04:20 Is just unrecognisable
04:23 To the team
04:24 We saw struggle
04:26 In the first half of the season, is Clinton Mata onside? We'll have to
04:30 Get a check
04:32 Benrama with composure
04:36 After picking up this ball from Tolisso
04:40 And producing a
04:44 Strong, unerring finish, his second league goal since returning to Liga
04:48 Nuama with the corner
04:54 Played near post, Majeki's missed it
04:57 Still a chance for Leon
05:00 Really good corner there, and Majeki didn't look convincing
05:06 Again it was side Benrama
05:12 Coming in on his right foot, trying to get his second of the night
05:15 Kakaray
05:18 Benrama first time for Maitland-Niles, Lacazette's free in the middle, the pass from Maitland-Miles
05:27 It's too far in front of Alexander Lacazette
05:30 Making three changes at half-time
05:35 Hoping that those changes will give a different dynamic to this contest
05:42 [FANS CHANTING]
05:47 Benrama does well
05:48 Tolisso to Nuama
05:53 He's got Mata outside, in Mata with the cross for Lacazette
05:57 Big chance for Alexander Lacazette
06:05 Wanchara, the Monaco Academy graduate, these two clubs, two of the
06:08 Leaders when it comes to youth development in France
06:12 Oh, a chance and a save by Anthony Lopez
06:16 Good strong run by Youssef Oufana
06:19 Saw the space open up and he accepted the invitation
06:24 So another corner to be taken by Diatta
06:32 Two Lyon defenders getting in each other's way, the ball breaking no four, Lopez
06:35 Lacazette
06:39 Lacazette, great ball, save Benrama!
06:43 Saved by the keeper
06:44 Is it the initial pass here to Benrama that catches him off?
06:50 This one-two between Lacazette and Benrama is excellent and he's not offside there
06:58 [FANS CHANTING]
07:04 Mbolo settling for the throw
07:06 Twelve goals last season for Briel Mbolo in his first season in France
07:16 As the cross comes in and Benyetta with a brilliant head up
07:19 Monaco draw level thanks to their captain Wissam Benyetta
07:25 Supporters celebrating now, 2-2
07:28 Zakaria it was who looked up, brilliant cross
07:31 Benyetta just found some space between O'Brien and Mata
07:36 It's a super head up
07:39 Yeah, it's Youssef Oufana with the cross
07:42 Real quality from Monaco
07:46 Well credit to Adi Huter and his players
07:51 Lyon could be in trouble again here, Benyetta
07:53 Wissam Benyetta on a hat-trick, Wissam Benyetta!
07:56 This time is wide
07:58 He's been so clinical tonight
08:02 This time however, he puts it the wrong side of the post
08:09 And it's a let-off for Lyon
08:11 Got themselves in trouble
08:13 Still Mane, it's Akiyush
08:21 It's a looker here
08:26 Salihsu finds Fofana
08:34 Watara, Watara's cross!
08:37 They were queuing up in the middle
08:39 It's Kakarot
08:46 This is Scherke, Scherke's cross is just too far in front of Lacazette
08:51 The 20-year-old Ryan Scherke then to take the free-kick
08:55 Well the dummy run
09:02 I don't think his teammates were necessarily expecting that
09:05 Not the second time though, Corentin Tolisso fighting back and winning possession
09:14 Kakarot
09:20 Scherke for Kakarot
09:23 Now Fofana
09:27 Fofana's cross is a good one!
09:29 And Ryan Scherke at the far post
09:31 Good football from Lyon
09:33 The two academy products, Scherke and Kakarot linking up brilliantly
09:39 Fofana's cross was so dangerous
09:43 Ryan Scherke
09:44 It's not an easy finish by any means but the goalkeeper was struggling to get across
09:49 15 minutes to go
09:56 Monaco doing most of the attacking at the moment but you feel that Lyon will have
10:03 perhaps one or two more opportunities as well
10:06 Here's Denis Zakaria
10:08 Good cross, far post
10:10 Good chance at the far post
10:12 The header down from Mbolo, saved by Lopez
10:15 Well if the suspense, in inverted commas, in the title race is going to go down
10:25 to round 32, Monaco need to win this one, otherwise Paris Saint-Germain win the title tonight
10:31 They're looking for a winning goal at the moment
10:37 Diata
10:39 Good ball in and Ben Yedder does complete his hat trick this time, no!
10:43 Well the flag has gone up
10:46 Protests from Monaco substitute Mohamed Kamara
10:51 Is Ben Yedder off?
10:53 Gosh
10:55 He may be just offside, it's very close though
10:59 Really good cross from Diata
11:05 Nobody went with Ben Yedder at that far post
11:09 Does Ben Yedder have a hat trick or
11:12 Is the decision upheld?
11:17 Yeah the offside is validated so no goal for Ben Yedder, look how close it was
11:28 Denis Zakaria
11:32 Kasim Watara now
11:35 Celentasar's header
11:37 Lacazette to Kakare, back to Lacazette
11:40 Good touch from Lacazette, good ball from Lacazette
11:43 Now, this is Forfana through the middle, Forfana for Lyon has done it!
11:48 Malik Forfana with the finish
11:51 And the young Belgian
11:53 On as a substitute showing
11:56 So much composure to finish this off
11:59 Superb from the Lyon captain
12:05 And yet Forfana still had a lot to do
12:07 Opened up his body
12:11 Angling to shoot across the keeper
12:15 Went near post
12:17 3-2 Lyon
12:19 Now Mongala, Lacazette
12:31 Alex Lacazette!
12:34 Pushed onto the post by Meyekin
12:36 Champagne has been on ice in the capital
12:39 Paris Saint-Germain will be crowned champions in a few seconds time
12:43 Lyon looking to cement the win here with
12:46 Maybe a fourth goal, Cherki, Cherki's gone too far
12:50 This is going to be pumped forwards
12:56 Easy though for the Lyon defence and that surely will be it
13:01 Anthony Lopez taking his time
13:04 The full time whistle blows!
13:09 The full time whistle blows!
13:11 Goals!
13:13 Goals!
13:14 Goals!
13:15 Goals!
13:16 Goals!
13:17 (upbeat music)
13:19 (upbeat music)
