00:00...finally over.
00:22My name is Derek Ray.
00:23I'm joined by Stuart Robson in the commentary box,
00:26and we're just seconds away from kick-off in what promises to be a spectacular final.
00:31It's Lorient, and they face Paris FC.
00:34The instructions will have been clear from the managers, Derek.
00:37Stick to the game plan.
00:38Don't take risks in your defending third, and embrace the occasion.
00:41Don't be frightened of it.
00:43What a game this should be.
00:52So we can check on the starting line-up.
00:55Well, they're going to set up as a 4-4-2,
00:57which means the front two will need to be clever with their combination play.
01:01Dynamic with their movement, and energetic with their closing down.
01:04I'm looking forward to seeing them play here today.
01:10And support available.
01:13The opposition starting 11.
01:16Well, it's the same system, so it's very much about the individual battles.
01:19The team that wins more of those should dominate and win the game.
01:25Well, that's the sign of a well-organised defence.
01:39Dismit.
01:42Kologijak.
01:42Well, we can give them high marks for their passing,
01:49but can they make this pressure count?
01:58Here's time to play it's over.
02:01Takes aim!
02:01And he read it well.
02:11Lopez.
02:14Alimami Gori.
02:18Rightly to a chance.
02:19Tried to open the mark.
02:31And he's through.
02:33Oh, yes!
02:34First to score in this final.
02:37And it could be highly significant.
02:40Well, let's look at this again, Derek,
02:41because the transition when the ball changes hands is so quick.
02:44And once he gets onto it,
02:46he just smashes it past the keeper with great technique.
02:49What an emphatic finish that is.
02:51And giving it away.
02:57Plenty of support here.
02:58Well, that's how to do it inside your own penalty area.
03:21And with that, the attack fizzles out.
03:23Lopez.
03:28Lopez.
03:37Marquesi now.
03:38And super tackle, and they've won possession.
03:44Silva.
03:46And so, the halftime whistle has gone
03:48here at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
03:53have a comfortable night.
03:55Repeat this at the Parc des Princes.
03:57Peace.
03:58Peace.
03:58Peace.
03:59Peace.
