00:00Underway here at the Stade Rémy Coppa, Angers facing off against newly promoted Paris FC.
00:10And have waited nearly 50 years for this moment.
00:17Rather than coming up and being fearful,
00:22the backing of the Arnaud family and minority shareholder Red Bull means they certainly have been bullish in the transfer market,
00:35as well as with their ambitions for the campaign of last season.
00:44Only Montpellier and Reims scored fewer goals.
00:50And here's an early opportunity, a great strike.
00:55Trophy, all fired in towards his strike partner, Piaez Amel.
01:01And it broke to him, he wasn't hanging around, whipping it around.
01:06The ball's put on a plate, thought about the cutback, now it does, the ball but it falls!
01:13But Siddiqui Sharif, what a block on the line.
01:18Well that's got the locals on their feet.
01:23Le Paul didn't catch this well but it turned into a great assist.
01:28Had teenager Sharif been able to force it?
01:31Can do better this time around.
01:36Looking for a bit of movement, Lefort.
01:38Gets it from Le Paul, the ball breaks perfectly for him.
01:40In on goal!
01:41Well his 13 goals were vital last season.
01:49It's taken less than 10 minutes for Esteban Le Paul to hit the back of the net again.
01:55And the Copa are absolutely delighted.
02:00Well it was a wicked ball forward.
02:03Misread though by Timotei Kozicek.
02:06Parry FC captain, calling for his goalkeeper but neither were able to stop Le Paul.
02:18He was quick, he was calm and he's fired.
02:25Angers ahead with Skou in his heart.
02:30Certainly has helped at least in the short term.
02:32And Angers now feeling the buzz and excitement.
02:37And that will be the first yellow card for Parry FC.
02:41Francois Lattensier not hesitating.
02:44Big season for Siddiqui Sharif.
02:50Just seven appearances.
02:52There's space to be had here for Florent Manon and he's happy to stride into it.
02:57Lovely, intelligent cut back.
03:00The ball struck in.
03:01Siddiqui Sharif.
03:04Too close to Incambadio.
03:09Smart cut back.
03:11He had a chance to have a couple of touches before firing for goal.
03:19And a little ball.
03:20Finds Doucet.
03:22Keppal!
03:23Oh!
03:24That is outrageous!
03:26The execution of the shot.
03:28Only equal by the save.
03:30This is absolutely tremendous.
03:34He saw an outrageous save from Guillaume Rest.
03:38To lose his visit to Nice.
03:40This one equally good.
03:42So far, it's Angers.
03:48Angers.
03:49You've seen they're on fire.
03:50Le Paul.
03:51Gives them the lead.
03:52That's going to be a clear yellow card.
03:53Fungi.
03:54Needed to be.
03:55Le Paul.
03:56Time running out of this first half.
03:57Moses Simon whips it in.
03:58Deep cross though.
03:59And a chance taken.
04:00And it could be.
04:01Looking bemused.
04:02He had any hair to lose.
04:03He'd have lost it there.
04:04Maxine Lopez.
04:05Final few seconds.
04:26Maxine Lopez, final few seconds, Cabal, that's Power UFC's best chance, he may go again,
04:36would be it was uncomfortable height, hunches it out, and then Cabal again, testing out
04:46and we are done with the first half of football, we will be back for the highlights, what has
05:04been an exciting and thrilling first half, Rigan and Ben Sports, stay tuned.
05:10Back underway with Paris FC, looking for an equaliser, and they find that extra bit of
05:23guile against stout Angers defence.
05:40On-throw from Arcus, then wins his header up against Moses Simon but it falls for Maxine Lopez.
05:53Big switch on, training the finishing product.
05:59Well, Mouton, Mouton flying in and it's going to be a real surprise if that doesn't end up in a booking.
06:12No chance of winning the ball.
06:15Support coming, as they double up.
06:20Alavina, though, asking where's the pressure as Maxine Lopez fires from distance but it's well held.
06:29Vanell charging in towards goal, looking for any scraps.
06:33None left by the...
06:35Maxine Lopez.
06:38Brilliant ball.
06:41He's taking it with him, little touch inside to Gobi, just as he was about to pull the trigger.
06:47The Keblar, with a vital touch.
06:52And now, Manketti.
06:55As the ball whipped in, maybe the better opportunity to shoot.
07:02Kefaro, and finally getting an effort away.
07:06What a major change to the possession stats.
07:09Obviously, a bit more in favour of Paris FC with the advantage.
07:12Descending off of Mouton.
07:14As that one sneaks past the post.
07:17This time, ball whipped in by Lopez.
07:21Gori should not get on the end of it.
07:25And once again, not on target.
07:28Don't want to go there without at least a point.
07:33Manketti.
07:36Always looks happy to fire from range.
07:39Well, it was flying.
07:42In the ultimate result.
07:44Certainly hit with fury.
07:47The 28 year...
07:48See a way forward.
07:50Great ball return though.
07:53Cuts back.
07:55Oh, what a challenge that is.
07:58The ball clipped away.
07:59But Maxime Lopez keeps it alive.
08:02Well, his hands against his chest.
08:04But...
08:05Feel hard done by.
08:07This was a great run from Xiegi.
08:10Cut back.
08:11Has been terrific in his deliveries.
08:13But Kefaro might fancy it.
08:15It is the latter.
08:16And it's wide of the post.
08:21Here's a goal.
08:25Trying to sneak it in.
08:27Both feet.
08:28Looked to have it covered.
08:33Needs too much time really.
08:35But then a little shimmy.
08:37He's being held up by Jim Malavina.
08:41Get a free kick though.
08:42In fairness to Kefaro.
08:44He maybe could have delivered earlier.
08:46A brilliant trickery.
08:50He missed this opportunity to deliver.
08:52Jim Malavina looked to have held him up.
08:55A lovely little spin here.
08:58And when he went for the one...
09:00A massive three points.
09:03On the opening day.
09:05Of a Ligue 1 season.
09:07At the Copa.
09:09Just the third time they've achieved it.
09:12This century.
09:13Herbie Kofi.
09:19So.
09:20An historical match required for Angus.
09:24They lost the player.
09:26But they kept fighting.
09:27And they earned the three points.
09:29And it is total.
09:35The ETS is almost always bad.
09:36The ETS.
09:37The ETS.
09:38The ETS.
09:39The ETS.
09:40The ETS.
09:42The ETS.
09:44The ETS.
