00:00Angers host bottom club Messe with Benoit Tavano in charge of the visitors for the first time.
00:10Pressure on both sides today. Angers registered just one point from the last three games.
00:16Messe have not won in seven Ligue 1 encounters.
00:23Two teams who were tipped by many to go down at the start of the season.
00:27Angers have surprised so many. Louis Miton with his first pass to Amin Sabay within the first 30 seconds.
00:36Here come Angers, Sabay, helped out by Jacques Ecomi of an early goal to settle a few nerves.
00:43Hasn't been the best January. Now in February.
00:48Messe clear for the first time. Bottom of the league are the team in white.
00:57Angers have won ten. Lost four. Drawn six incidentally in recent Ligue 1 encounters.
01:06Lost one in their last eight though against Mets in all matches.
01:12So good record against the team from the East.
01:16Angers have struggled a bit at the Africa Cup of Nations.
01:19Lost some key players. Not least Irve Coffey, their goalkeeper.
01:24Suddenly a chance for Messe. Can the visitors get an early strike?
01:27It's well over the bar from Javi Diallo.
01:31Messe will really need to score a few.
01:33They're going to stay up. Diallo got between a couple of defenders there.
01:38Experienced open start to this game.
01:40Interesting results in Ligue 1 this season.
01:46Not least Paris FC getting a point.
01:492-0 down against Marseille.
01:51They're in that relegation scrap as well.
01:54News for Messe either.
01:55Two late goals for the other capital club.
01:57That's a foul on Belkebler.
02:00Right into his ankle.
02:03This was the chance a few seconds ago from Diallo.
02:06Was that a foul?
02:06Oh, I thought so.
02:14Ousmane Kamara thought otherwise.
02:16The tackle from Jean-Philippe Gabamin.
02:21And Messe could be in real trouble here.
02:23Look, he might have slipped over the ball.
02:25Because he looked like he might have slipped over the ball.
02:29Let's see what the decision is.
02:31Benoit Mio is going to get out the red.
02:33And there's an early red card.
02:37And it's Gabamin.
02:40Straight red.
02:41Not complaining about it too much.
02:43Solid pro.
02:44Some might consider him a little bit unfortunate.
02:47But it's a straight red.
02:48And the worst possible start for Benoit Tavernot.
02:54Messe down to 10 already.
02:57There's only no hard feelings, Gabamin.
03:07He rather slipped on the ball.
03:09He rather tripped on the ball.
03:11And that's a red card in modern football.
03:14Angers, but they're strong here.
03:17Louis Mouton.
03:21White shirts around him.
03:22And a snapshot into the arms of Jonathan Fisher from Belkebler.
03:26But Mouton rather shoved to the ground.
03:34Shot.
03:37Mouton again.
03:41Clever ball through.
03:42Arcus just about controlled it.
03:45Pull back to Mouton.
03:47And Louis Mouton, he made it.
03:49And then he took it.
03:51Arcus helped him out.
03:52But that was a brilliant individual goal from Louis Mouton.
03:58And the crowd loving that one.
04:02Too much emotion.
04:03But Mouton with that ball.
04:05And they just kept running.
04:08Came back to him and into the corner.
04:11Jonathan Fisher beaten.
04:12Arcus did well to pull it back and keep it in.
04:16And Mouton making no mistake.
04:19It's Angers 1, Messe nil.
04:20First 25 minutes.
04:31Couldn't have gone much better for Angers.
04:33They're up against 10.
04:34And they've got a goal.
04:36Discipline from now on.
04:37Messe.
04:38I can't try or in.
04:50Believe Monongo will have a lot of work in the middle of the part.
04:52Looks like they're still playing with two in the middle.
04:54Punching tackle there.
04:55Messe might feel that there's...
05:00Tackles on the youngster.
05:02Believe Monongo.
05:03Welcome to Liga.
05:04Only just turned 16.
05:06Playing at the top flight.
05:08Top five leagues in Europe.
05:11Louis Mouton.
05:15Brilliant strike.
05:16It was Van den Boomen.
05:18You know he can score from his days in Toulouse.
05:21And Van den Boomen really hit that one.
05:25Over Fischer's Bar.
05:29Real power on that.
05:30The Dutchman.
05:34Perhaps looking like they're more likely.
05:37Score.
05:37For Louis Mouton.
05:41The bounce off the turf.
05:43Which...
05:43Into the corner.
05:52Fischer holds it.
05:53Maybe releasing a player.
05:56Time to the five-minute mark in stoppage time.
06:02Gaultier-Ein.
06:05It's halftime.
06:08At the stud.
06:09Raymond Copper in the west of France.
06:12The only goal from Louis Mouton.
06:14A nice finish from him in the 25th minute.
06:17That after a red card for Jean-Philippe Gabamin.
06:20Diallo came close once.
06:21Diallo came close once.
06:22At halftime.
06:23It's Angers 1-0.
06:24It's Angers 1-0.
06:25It's Angers 1-0.
06:26We are underway in the second half.
06:31It's Angers leading 1-0 against Metz.
06:34Angers.
06:39Angers.
06:41Looking to the right in this second period.
06:43They're a man up after Gabamin's red card.
06:47Controlled things since then.
06:49Solitary goal from Louis Mouton.
06:51It's time for Ekomi in this second half.
07:00Rain pouring down early on in this match.
07:03It's stopped.
07:05Windy conditions also.
07:07Easiest for players.
07:10Let's see what's going to happen in the second half.
07:14Can Metz get something back, I wonder.
07:16Or Kadeem.
07:17That's it.
07:19Some trouble with that.
07:20Mess back four.
07:21They do a back four with Jegba joined by Stambouli.
07:26That's a little bit short in the middle of the park.
07:29They have a 16-year-old in there.
07:31Believe Monongot.
07:34Dieter does well.
07:36Going to come across to Van den Boomen.
07:39Arcus.
07:40They're lining up.
07:41Van den Boomen.
07:42And he's palmed over.
07:44It's saved from Jonathan Fisher.
07:46Stretching to palm it over.
07:49It's a nice move from Angers.
07:51Van den Boomen again instrumental.
07:55Van den Boomen into the mixer.
07:56Might have been an offside there.
07:57But it's a good save anyway from Fisher.
07:59Nice angle to have a look at it.
08:07Off the shin of Stambouli on the turf.
08:11Van den Boomen.
08:13Van den Boomen.
08:18In comes the Dutchman's cross.
08:21They're lining up.
08:23Might get it past Fisher.
08:25Charles Deweyne.
08:26Head of Goldwoods.
08:29Was from the defender.
08:31Jordan Lafort.
08:37Sabai.
08:40Sabai.
08:41He's been so dangerous today.
08:42Before my break.
08:44So Mouton has gone wide.
08:46And that was all about Sabai.
08:48Driving through.
08:49Beat one, two, three of them.
08:50And it fell to Louis Mouton.
08:54This time though.
08:55Just wide.
08:57It's all Lange for the moment.
09:04Carlin Zarkus.
09:07Beat up.
09:08It's going to be a foul.
09:13Terry Egbert pleading his case.
09:20Kul on to replace him.
09:22Youngster.
09:23Another teenager.
09:27OJ in a good position.
09:28Sabai.
09:29Goes to the far post.
09:45A rare attack for Messe.
09:47Abouashvili.
09:49Sitashvili.
09:50They're lining up for once.
09:52And it's gone over.
09:53And that was the best chance for Messe.
09:56Take another look at that one.
09:57It was good work from the two Georgians.
10:03And it came to a coffee cool out.
10:14Here come.
10:15OJ again.
10:16Is this going to be the chance for Kialipu?
10:18Good save.
10:19It was Raul Lissauer with the shot.
10:22Raul Lissauer having a go.
10:23And Fischer saves.
10:25So well there Raul Lissauer.
10:27Not offside by the looks of things.
10:29Good first touch.
10:31Skipping inside.
10:32But Fischer did well.
10:33He scored his first goal in a couple of years against Nantes in a recent derby.
10:39Far from a memorable day for him.
10:44Be more memorable if Messe can grab something from this one.
10:47Arcus puts it across.
10:48Arcus puts it across.
10:53Is this the second one?
10:55Bounces off.
10:56He's getting a second.
10:56He's getting a second.
10:56It's going to confirm that Mbala is on then.
11:07Danger.
11:08Kialipu couldn't make the most of it.
11:12Stambouli.
11:15Sitashvili.
11:15I've said in.
11:17I want a save from Coffey.
11:20Nearly a disaster for Angers.
11:23Lefort.
11:25Kialipu's going to chase that one down.
11:29Lack of concentration in that visiting defence.
11:32Kialipu.
11:32Good save from Fischer.
11:34Hervé Coffey from his own defender, Lefort.
11:39And three precious, precious points going the way of Angers.
11:43This is some late drama.
11:46Coffey wants to make sure there's no such thing.
11:49Anna.
11:53Angers.
11:54One point out of a possible nine.
11:57Messe have not won in seven.
11:58Only one point in seven.
12:00That's why this game was so important.
12:02And under the driving rain in the west of France.
12:06Angers had three crucial points.
12:10And another win for Alexandre Dujeu.
12:13Benoit Tavenau losing his first game as a Ligue 1 coach for Messe.
12:18This one has finished.
12:20Angers won.
12:21Messe nil.
12:22Louis Mouton the game winner.
12:32What's the game winner?
12:39One point out of any direct fight.
12:41And another win.
12:42We'll be.
12:42One point out of an hour inrey.
