00:00...played in the French League and of course it's a happening to see him back
00:07home. Montpellier in 2012 the last time he played at home.
00:19Thunder shock on the PA which means 10 teams are hitting the pitch.
00:26Lille versus Monaco, two teams hoping to push for Champions League qualification this season.
00:35Caio-Henrique for Monaco in their change strip of pale yellow.
00:46Buadi, the impressive 17-year-old winning possession for Lille.
00:50Let in three last weekend but what a bad ball given away by Buadi and Lille slightly fortunate to get away with it.
01:02Yeah, Urza, the goalkeeper, couldn't do much about the three goals.
01:15Christian Mawissa coming back to Eric Dier.
01:17Slightly heavy that first touch from Felix Correra.
01:24Monaco, Correra, Andre, nice first touch.
01:32The cross from Perrault was in front of King to pick out the run of Mucco.
01:41Lille, get it back.
01:43Mernier's cross.
01:45Giroud wasn't far away.
01:48There's Balogun though for Monaco.
01:50Nicely worked out to this left-hand side.
01:53Kaio-Henri, Monaco are getting numbers forward.
01:57Oh, and it's a chance at the front post for Akliuj.
02:03He didn't really get a clean contact on his shot and it just gave Urza the chance to make a good save.
02:11That was a very dangerous counter-attack from Monaco.
02:17Following Balogun holds it up well.
02:20Looks for Kamara.
02:21His pass into the penalty area is cut out by Ngoy.
02:30Balogun has looked quite sharp from the start of this game.
02:34That deal fell through and Zakaria is going to stay at Monaco this season.
02:41Andre wins it for Lille.
02:44Mernier beaten across towards Balogun.
02:46It's a chance.
02:48A real chance for Monaco.
02:51The second that they've conjured.
02:56Lovely cross this time from Akliuj.
02:58And Balogun couldn't quite get his header on target.
03:04Haraldsson to Carrera.
03:07Haraldsson again.
03:08It'll be a corner.
03:12It'll be the Icelandic international Hakon Haraldsson to take.
03:19Romain Pero it was.
03:21The other blonde figure.
03:23He's beaten to that by Alexandro.
03:24But there are problems here at the back for Lille.
03:27Akliuj.
03:28Good stop from the keeper.
03:29This is Minamino.
03:31His cross.
03:32Looking for Balogun.
03:34Lille survived.
03:36A very hairy moment.
03:37From the goalkeeper.
03:38And the goalkeeper.
03:40Derker.
03:41Also deserves plenty of credit there.
03:46And good.
03:47Haraldsson.
03:49Mernier stayed up.
03:50He's making a run through the middle.
03:51Haraldsson finds Tom Mernier.
03:54On the edge of the box.
03:55Goes for a goal.
03:56Mernier.
03:57It wasn't a bad strike.
04:01Well, he found himself in the unusual position of centre-forward there Tom Mernier.
04:07His rising shot.
04:09Going just over.
04:14Two lead goals he's managed so far in his Lille career.
04:18And again, Alexandro's one-on-one with Balogun.
04:21It's picked up by Akliuj.
04:23Men over on the left for Monaco.
04:25This is Caio Henrique.
04:27His cross is very dangerous.
04:29And it is just knocked behind by Perrault.
04:33Sting out of things.
04:35Good time for Lille to keep the ball.
04:40Now, it's Haraldsson.
04:42On his own.
04:43Hakon Haraldsson.
04:46What a chance.
04:50Well, he ghosted in behind.
04:53Nobody in a Monaco shirt picking up the Icelandic attacker.
04:58Hakon Haraldsson controlled it well, but the shot was off target.
05:01Easily Lille's best chance of the night so far.
05:06Balogun's pass.
05:07Teze's run up this right-hand side.
05:10Jordan Teze crossing towards Minamino.
05:13Perrault's early ball forward to Felix Carrera.
05:22Carrera.
05:24Haraldsson.
05:25Carrera trying to take on Jordan Teze.
05:34Monaco are having a bit of trouble getting this ball away.
05:41They've got a free kick now though.
05:42Giroud with the foul.
05:44Haraldsson being urged forward by the Lille fans.
05:50Carrera.
05:51Jinking past Teze.
05:53Can he get the cross over?
05:54No.
05:55That's it by Muko.
05:56And the goal stood in the end despite the fact that the Brest defenders had all but stopped playing because the flag had been raised.
06:08Muko, good ball.
06:10And again, Mernier's found a pocket of space.
06:12His cross.
06:14Gets a bit of a lucky bounce.
06:16The referee playing advantage here.
06:19Roman Perrault crossing.
06:20Nobody there.
06:23Great tackle though from Carrera.
06:34Again, Lille have given it away cheaply.
06:37And Clioge!
06:40Well, he wrapped his left boot around that one.
06:43And I think a lot of these supporters here were waiting for the net to ripple.
06:48Marnier's actually is going very close.
06:52Camera fed the Frenchman.
06:56The ball just didn't quite curl enough.
07:02And going to Mernier.
07:05Gouadi.
07:06Well, the referee decides there is no need for any added time.
07:17He blows the whistle at half-time.
07:19For the second period here in Lille.
07:28No goals.
07:30On the Monaco bench.
07:31I wonder if Adi Hooter will launch the Dane sooner rather than later.
07:39This is Carrera for Lille.
07:41Carrera's cross is a tantalizing one.
07:43Headed away by Caio Henry.
07:45Goni as far as Haraldson.
07:47He was off target.
07:48The whistle had blown in any case.
07:53Chance to put one into the box for Lille.
08:02Roman Perrault left-footed.
08:05Caio Henry heading it up in the air.
08:08And that looked like a handball from Mernier.
08:11The referee didn't spot it or didn't give it anyway.
08:16Some heated discussions between Ginesio and the club president, Olivier Letton.
08:21They've had to really tighten their belt, Lille.
08:24Here's Felix Guerrera.
08:26Space crossing dangerously.
08:28But Bouadi couldn't really do much with that.
08:31It was a drill.
08:33Authorities hope will pay off in the medium to long term.
08:35Roman Perrault delivers.
08:38And the ball didn't drop to a Lille player.
08:43It's hit Ngoi I think on the head.
08:47Soon after the Russian World Cup in 2018.
08:53It was seen as a big coup at the time with Chelsea trying to secure his surfaces as well.
08:58Carrera.
09:00Now Haraldson.
09:02Benjamin Andre.
09:04Perrault.
09:06Perrault driving it in.
09:08Buadi driving it in.
09:09It's deflected just over.
09:16Perrault to Andre.
09:17Back to Carrera.
09:19His cross is a good one.
09:21Benjamin Andre got up high.
09:23Or rather, Olivier Giroud got up high.
09:26Giroud's header is over.
09:28Now Eric Dyer.
09:30That Cleo finds Teze.
09:32Teze looking for Balogun.
09:35But Alexandro's there.
09:37Well won back though by Jordan Teze.
09:40Guadi.
09:41He's a good one.
09:43He's a good one.
09:45He's a good one.
09:47Carrera.
09:49Meunier.
09:51Meunier to the far post.
09:52Fernandes Pardo arriving.
09:53And Teze taking no chances at all.
09:55Romain Perrault delivers towards Giroud.
10:04Giroud gets up.
10:06And Goyet was heading downwards.
10:10Couldn't quite redirect the ball goalwards after Giroud had kept it alive quite nicely here.
10:17Camera to Goyet.
10:31Brouadi tackling Zakaria.
10:36Zakaria.
10:37Back with Zakaria.
10:38Now Goyet.
10:39Alexander Goyet.
10:40Was he fouled there by Benjamin Andre?
10:41Goyet thinks he was.
10:42The referee says no.
10:43Still Lille looking the more likely.
10:44Haroldson.
10:45Correira.
10:47Correira has crossed Giroud!
10:49Oh, that was the moment.
10:51Olivier Giroud arriving on the edge of the six yard box.
10:54It's the sword of opportunity.
10:56He usually buries.
10:58And then he can't pass.
11:00He can't pass.
11:02He can't pass.
11:04He can't pass.
11:06He can't pass.
11:08He can't pass.
11:09He can't pass.
11:11There he can pass.
11:12He can't pass.
11:13Usually buries. Great cross from Carrera. Giroud's volley just wide.
11:25Well, it's been a hard evening for Olivier Giroud. He's not had too many balls to feed on.
11:33That was a lovely cross, though.
11:35Team-mates from their days in the Arsenal youth team. Balogun and Biareth playing up top now for Monaco.
11:41Good flick. Vanderson. Vanderson to the byline. Corner to Monaco.
11:49Good challenge from Benjamin Andre.
11:56The move away this summer. He is still here, though. He's got a role to play tonight.
12:02Owen Ritz delivery.
12:06Elias Benzeguet. Balogun. Balogun crossing.
12:11Dangerously. The keeper's missed it.
12:14Well, Oza coming out.
12:18Actually, he's calling for it. Getting it.
12:20Working a shooting opening.
12:23The shot is deflected.
12:24And then Biareth goes in on the goalkeeper.
12:29And Oza will get the free kick.
12:31Andre. And now Haraldson.
12:32Hakon Haraldson. It's opening up for Lille.
12:36The chance for Carrera.
12:38It's a poor first touch.
12:40And he was forced wide.
12:45Alexandro, Giroud, N'Goy all up there.
12:48It's Alexandro rising at the far post.
12:52Pradecki comes out.
12:54Whacked goalwards by Perrault.
12:55It's going to fall for Andre.
13:04Perrault wins it.
13:06Andre switches.
13:10Murnier.
13:11Fernandes Pardo.
13:13Good ball into the middle.
13:14Olivier Giroud!
13:15He's done it.
13:20Olivier Giroud on his home debut.
13:24Has scored what looks like a winning goal for Lille.
13:31Lille president's Olivier Letton may well smile.
13:35It is looking like an inspirational signing for Le Dau.
13:39Two games and now two goals for Giroud.
13:46Goal number 350 in his career.
13:54What a story.
13:58Fernandes Pardo with the ball towards Haraldson.
14:01Giroud still had plenty to do.
14:04He had to control.
14:07He had to swivel.
14:07And then get that shot to run.
14:11Great ball.
14:13Lille on the rampage again.
14:17Fernandes Pardo in the clear.
14:19Fernandes Pardo, is that a penalty?
14:21It is.
14:23Lille have got a penalty.
14:27Superb run from Matias Fernandes Pardo.
14:31Brought down by Maruissa.
14:33And Lille have got a chance to make it too.
14:40And Olivier Giroud.
14:47Giroud has two goals so far in his Lille career.
14:50And Giroud has missed the opportunity to net the third.
14:59Has missed an opportunity to make it 2-0.
15:02Vanderson to be a red.
15:09Well, Monaco did have a chance.
15:11Micah Beareth at full stretch.
15:14Couldn't keep his shot down.
15:15And Lille.
15:16And he's going to be a red.
15:17And he's going to be a red.
15:18And he's going to be a red.
15:18And he's going to be a red.
15:19And he's going to be a red.
15:19And he's going to be a red.
15:20And he's going to be a red.
15:21And he's going to be a red.
15:21And he's going to be a red.
15:22And he's going to be a red.
15:22And he's going to be a red.
15:23And he's going to be a red.
15:24And he's going to be a red.
15:25And he's going to be a red.
15:25And he's going to be a red.
15:26And he's going to be a red.
15:27And he's going to be a red.
15:27And he's going to be a red.
15:28And he's going to be a red.
15:29And he's going to be a red.
