00:00It's Ocea against L'Oreal, a clash between the last two winners of Ligue 2.
00:07The last nine second-tier champions have all managed to stay up the season after promotion, including Donald's side.
00:15Off we go then, the start of this game. A roar from the Stade-Abbé Deschamps faithful in this match between the last two champions of Ligue 2.
00:23L'Oreal will take this free kick.
00:30And in from Le Havre, where he spent last week on loan.
00:35Back to Clement Akpah, the Ivorian centre-back down the line.
00:39And Josue Casimir has managed to get away from his marker. It's a good ball in!
00:46And a good claim by Bingaroo Kamara.
00:51Wonderful wing play.
00:55Well, nothing that Ocea did wrong in that. It was just very good keeper in this game.
00:59So, could have found a like-for-like replacement.
01:05Sorralto now, though, needs to catch up with this.
01:08And he's been lost, and there is not the first goal!
01:12Oh, a real let-off for Ocea.
01:19Well, Sorralto caught on his heels.
01:22He couldn't keep up.
01:24Encouraging for Mendy to come forward from the centre of the L'Oreal defence.
01:34He delivers the ball in, but Sorralto jumps high to head it out.
01:37He's looking more and more like Jubal all the time.
01:39Counter-attack for L'Oreal.
01:41Space down the left-hand side.
01:43For them to exploit through Arsene Kouassi.
01:45The new man in from Ojaccio.
01:48And it's put into the...
01:53Mensah can't collect.
01:55And it's robbed by Joel Mavaka.
01:58Immediately gets it forward to Tosa.
02:01Tosa!
02:02Inside injury time, Casimir delivers the free kick.
02:10It's not the greatest of deliveries.
02:14Looks long.
02:16Decent ball as well.
02:17Nicely taken down as well.
02:20And that will do us for the end of the first, first half of the new season in Ligue 1 McDonalds.
02:33Between the last two Ligue 2 champions.
02:39Second half of the Stade Avedes shot.
02:41Ocea kick us off.
02:42And we will be looking for a little bit more goal-mouth action.
02:46In the second 45 minutes.
02:48The first half was...
02:49And Leon the captain.
02:51Here comes Josue Casimir.
02:53One of the new additions this season.
02:55And a decent ball into the box, but just over the top.
02:58And by Leon.
02:59Long ball.
03:00That's a good ball as well.
03:01Mensah brings it down.
03:05Inside to Sanaya.
03:06Siniyoko.
03:07Siniyoko shaping!
03:09Oh, what an opening goal that is!
03:12That's more like it.
03:15Well, the first half was devoid of anything of quality.
03:23That's the way to introduce the new season.
03:27And the man who had a spate of goal involvements towards the end of the last campaign.
03:32Has got off to a scoring return in the new season.
03:36What a goal that is.
03:39From Siniyoko.
03:40ظ��!
03:41That's easy!
03:42That's easy!
03:43That's easy!
03:44That's easy!
03:45æ–°manah rhythm
03:46That's easy!
03:47That's easy!
03:48That's easy!
03:50That's easy!
03:51Might be in again.
03:54Oseille now rampant.
03:55Osair now rampant. Casimir put behind by camera and all of a sudden the juices of
04:06confidence are flowing through Osair. Casimir looking for a debut goal denied
04:11by the outstretched hand of the debut keeper.
04:16Second corner. Bad ball in. Bomba though gets it and it's spewed behind off the right peg of
04:28Kevin Danois. A difficult period for L'Oreal. They know that Osair are very much up for this!
04:34Oh my goodness me! Camera! That mistake against Sinioca again. Abagel! It's Seralta.
04:46All of a sudden, this is a very different attacking performance from Osair and
04:50they're into the box once more.
04:58Talby has gone down Sinioca. Challenge from Marvin Sinioca. Giving the ball away again.
05:06Here come Osair on the overlap. Casimir!
05:12To the corner. In by Casimir. And it was a terrific corner but it has somehow managed to result in another one.
05:26I'm not sure whether Osair were trying to claim that might have been a handball in the box but the appeals didn't last very long.
05:34Well, the VAR has actually instructed the referee to go and have a look and one can only assume...
05:52Let's see. To Abagel.
06:04Now whatever, the referee has decided.
06:08And it is a penalty against the L'Oreal captain, Laurent Abagel.
06:19The two debut dogs go up against each other and it's the crossbar that denies Casimir a debut goal.
06:26Although Osair had a couple of penalties last season.
06:38Jubal was the man who scored the last of them in the 4-2 defeat away in Monaco.
06:44Atlassian Sinioca did successfully put one away against Wren in November.
06:50As we get underway again.
06:55Oh, that's dangerous.
06:57And Donovan Leon comes up with his first real save of the game.
07:0171 and a half minutes into it.
07:04After a poor ball back I think by Osho that caught Serralta by surprise.
07:20Good overlap.
07:22All of a sudden, L'Oreal on the attack once more.
07:24A little bit too much though.
07:26Put through the cross into the middle by Caceres.
07:30Cosman in the middle, he's looking for a debut contribution as well.
07:34In by Casimir.
07:36Deep this time.
07:38L'Oreal nil.
07:39Good ball forward.
07:41Here goes Caceres once more.
07:43Good ball in!
07:44What a save by Leon!
07:47It's the same man.
07:49Simado.
07:51This time with an absolutely brilliant header.
07:56And Leon who has had next to nothing to do, does what all top keepers do.
08:02Stay in the game.
08:05That is an absolutely fabulous save.
08:11Strong right hand.
08:13To L'Oreal on the ball again and again from the Greek.
08:17Nice play from the substitute.
08:19Now can they get the ball in.
08:21Akpa tracks back and makes the...
08:22The man who came in from Scottish football.
08:25Good ball in.
08:27And it's at the back post.
08:29Oshu with the challenge and they're asking the question here, L'Oreal.
08:36As time runs out for L'Oreal.
08:38In comes the set piece.
08:41It's another good delivery but Oshu deal with it.
08:43Well!
08:46And we're halfway through the eight minutes handed on but I suspect that we'll go on a little bit longer.
08:51Katsaris.
08:54Over to this near side, Katsaris.
08:59Still not away!
09:00Akpa with the block.
09:02And another save by Leon.
09:03A double chance for L'Oreal.
09:06Champions.
09:07From the corner.
09:08In it comes.
09:09Back post!
09:11Oshu celebrates the block.
09:14But it's still there.
09:15Another chance.
09:16Into the middle.
09:18And it's wide.
09:20From Katsaris.
09:21And there is the final whistle.
09:25And it's Oshu who grabbed the victory.
