00:00The Champions League qualification is going to go to the wire in France, but tonight's game carries an awful lot
00:07of importance.
00:08If Lyon can win, they will move ahead of Lille into third.
00:12If Rennes get the points, it will be Lerouge Noir on the podium.
00:18Now, immediately an injury.
00:24Charged from behind by Ayen Boudlal.
00:27Well, he's been in the wars, Corantan Tolisso, was only fit to play a substitutes role against Duxerre last weekend,
00:37but had a huge impact when he came off the bench, scoring one, making another.
00:44And he has had a big, big impact on Lyon's season, so fingers crossed here for the four goals so
00:53far in the league for the Brazilian prodigy.
00:58Now a good switch of play. Oh, what a shot!
01:01That is a sensational goal from Altamari!
01:08The Jordanian international with a left-footed volley of the very, very highest quality.
01:23A sensational goal from the visitors.
01:28He has been in good form, Moussa Altamari, but I think he's even surprised himself.
01:33This shot, astonishing, brilliant Bolo, playing the ball out to Zimanski.
01:44It's then Esteban Lepaul playing it to the far post.
01:49It's just wonderfully controlled.
01:51He doesn't try to hit it too hard.
01:54Places it really into the top corner, beyond Greif.
01:57Leon nil, Rennes one.
02:05Kept alive by Zimanski.
02:14Zimanski looking for Lepaul, who's causing problems.
02:18Cameras, Tross.
02:27Brice Somba got there first, but then got himself in a bit of a pickle.
02:33Here's Nierkarte.
02:36Finding Abanar.
02:38Here's Moreira now.
02:41Moreira running at his man, crossing dangerously.
02:44And Somba again, pushing the ball out into a dangerous area.
02:49That was a more difficult cross for the goalkeeper to deal with.
02:54And Leon's pressure continuing now.
02:58This was dangerous from Moreira.
03:00The low cross played with quite some power.
03:09Somba pushing it away from Leroy.
03:12Away with that miscontrol.
03:16Another foul.
03:20The crowd calling on Clemente Arpan to start.
03:24Showing some card.
03:25It's not going to be booked for this challenge.
03:29Tromsey though it was.
03:34But...
03:36Altamari getting away from Morton.
03:39Running at Mata now.
03:40He's got Cameras in support.
03:43Madi Cameras shot saved by Greif.
03:47Didn't really...
03:48Nierkarte.
03:49Switching to Nierkarte.
03:51Switching to Nierkarte.
03:51Controls it instantly.
03:55Nierkarte's cross.
03:57Appeals for a penalty.
04:00Tremontalpan shakes his head.
04:02And the cross comes over from Maitland-Niles.
04:09This is Morton.
04:10Shot on for Tyler Morton.
04:12Decides instead to cross and overhits it.
04:18Well, he's late there.
04:20Ayat Budlal.
04:29Le Paul.
04:31Given away.
04:33Endric.
04:36Wasteful.
04:37Who found himself in a really good position.
04:41Generates fantastic power in his shooting.
04:43But he couldn't control that one.
04:50Endric gets past Altamari.
04:53Can't get beyond Merlin.
04:58It's well won back though by Calis Merah.
05:01Endric switching quickly to Moreira.
05:05Alphonso Moreira with the shot.
05:09Quite some venom but wide of Briss Omba's goal.
05:19It is one area he has room for improvement in.
05:24Alphonso Moreira.
05:26Just three lead goals this season.
05:28Important.
05:37A big article in today's L'Equipe.
05:40Talking about Calis Merah.
05:42The cross from the right-hand side.
05:45And it's headed home by Yaremchuk.
05:52Lyon get level and it's their informed Ukrainian.
05:57Four goals in his last three games now for Yaremchuk.
06:03And Lyon's pressure finally tells.
06:13Great work on that left-hand side.
06:17The cross from the skipper Tolisso was so inviting.
06:21And Yaremchuk pounces.
06:29That is what he is in the team for.
06:32The 30-year-old.
06:34So strong in the air.
06:36Timed his run.
06:38And placed his header perfectly.
06:40Look what it means to Fontaka.
06:42Lyon level.
06:46Lyon may win it back.
06:47And Endric.
06:48Endric going through.
06:50Moreira's onside.
06:52Alphonso Moreira.
06:54Past the keeper.
06:55Is that a penalty?
06:56It is a penalty.
06:59Incredible scenes here in Lyon.
07:05Rencourt.
07:06After that throw-in.
07:08It's brilliant from Endric.
07:09Moreira timed his run well.
07:12Now he goes past the keeper.
07:14He's taken down.
07:17By the defender.
07:19It's Altamari with the foul.
07:24Lyon with a chance to take the lead now.
07:29Absolutely no question.
07:30It's a penalty.
07:31I wonder if Altamari...
07:36The Group Armour Stadium holds its breath.
07:41Tolisso against Briz Samba.
07:43And Tolisso whacks it home.
07:46Two goals in five minutes for Lyon.
07:49They have turned this game on its head.
07:53Thanks in no small part to the skipper.
07:56An assist and now a goal for Corantan Tolisso.
08:00It is Lyon two, Ren one.
08:09Corantan Tolisso into double figures now for league goals.
08:19Well, you cannot take a much better penalty than that.
08:23He has absolutely smashed it into the side netting.
08:29Samba went the wrong way in any case.
08:32But Tolisso made absolutely sure.
08:34Next half.
08:36Simanski.
08:38Camera back to Rongier.
08:43Rather nurla and it was.
08:45The cross and the save by Greif.
08:48Brilliant Bolo arrived.
08:50Houston very nearly squeezed it home.
08:53Simanski's ball in.
08:55And Bolo did really well to get in front of Niacate.
09:00Greif to the rescue.
09:09Still time perhaps for a Ren attack if they're quick about it.
09:13No time has now run.
09:17What a crazy half of football.
09:21We had a little bit of everything.
09:24If you missed that, I don't know what you were doing.
09:28We'll be back with the highlights in case you did.
09:31And we'll check what happened.
09:33We'll be back here on Beat Sports.
09:37So can Ren recover from that whirlwind from Olympique Lyonnais in the closing stages of the first half?
09:49Lyon have pushed hard.
09:52They've worked hard to get back into the game.
09:55And after Altamari's early goal, it's Jaren Chuk and Tolisso who have given Lyon the advantage.
10:03It's Jaren Chuk and Tolisso who have given Lyon the advantage.
10:03It's Jaren Chuk and Tolisso who have given Lyon the advantage.
10:08Rangier comes back as Ren try to build.
10:12But Tolisso has it for Olympique Lyonnais.
10:15Probably the player of the first half.
10:17Corentin Tolisso.
10:19So influential.
10:24Moreira heading it forward.
10:27And he helps it on to Madi Kamara.
10:30Altamari.
10:32Good ball from Altamari.
10:34Big chance for Lepol.
10:37Esteban Lepol scores against his former team.
10:42It is his 19th league goal this season.
10:46He takes a step closer to winning that Golden Boot Award.
10:51But more importantly, he's got Ren level here.
10:57More really good play by Altamari.
11:00He did damage at the start of the first half.
11:04And again, he's done damage here at the start of the second.
11:08A really clever dummy by Mbolo.
11:12And Lepol was never going to turn up that opportunity.
11:17Deflected off Abner.
11:18But that will be Lepol's goal.
11:22It's a perfect start to the second half for Red.
11:27Lovely game of football between two sides who want to attack.
11:34Leon coming forward with Abner.
11:36That's a great ball.
11:37Moreira!
11:43Leon back in front.
11:45Thanks to their Portuguese whiz.
11:49Afonso Moreira.
11:503-2 and again, the Groupama Stadium erupts.
12:01He has been a live wire tonight.
12:05Afonso Moreira.
12:08Lots of credit to Vinicius Abner who's played a beautifully weighted pass to the Portuguese.
12:16And his first-time finish is too good for Samba.
12:25What a response from Leon.
12:38It's only his fourth goal this season.
12:41And reinstated in the top flight.
12:46Possibilities again for Leon.
12:47Morton!
12:48Morton!
12:49I think he was crossing it and he's actually miscued the ball.
12:55Moreira to take the corner.
13:03Hendricks header.
13:05Maitland-Niles.
13:10Hendrick.
13:11Maitland-Niles.
13:12Into the box.
13:13Still Maitland-Niles.
13:14Well, he jinxed round.
13:16Two defenders.
13:17Couldn't quite beat the third.
13:23Brilliant skills though from the Leon right-back.
13:27Maitland-Niles.
13:41Maitland-Niles.
13:45Flicks it inside.
13:47Flicks it inside.
13:47Hendrick.
13:49Hendrick's chip and the header.
13:50Well, got in a good position, Jaromczyk.
13:53Couldn't quite get any...
14:00It's going to be Sebastian Simanski.
14:02He goes for goal.
14:04It's wide of that near-post though.
14:08Jaram-Curk.
14:09Hendrick.
14:10Hendrick on the burst.
14:13Clipping it into the middle.
14:14Oh, Somba.
14:15Did so well to deny Tolisso.
14:20Hendrick.
14:21Minutes.
14:22Big minutes for Francais and his team.
14:24They need to try to come back.
14:26Leon on the attack though.
14:27Tolisso.
14:28Sets up Hendrick.
14:29Hendrick.
14:31It's four for Leon.
14:36Paolo Fonseca.
14:40Absolutely ecstatic.
14:42And Leon looking good now for three points and third spot.
14:49He's had a good game tonight, Hendrick.
14:53And he has rifled home his knee-gun goal with real conviction.
15:02Abner did well.
15:04Winning possession.
15:06Schultz to Tolisso.
15:07Tolisso just rolled it into the path of the 19-year-old Brazilian.
15:13And Hendrick made no mistake on his right foot.
15:17Leon 4, Ren 2.
15:23A big goal from a big player.
15:40Wren looking to score their third goal.
15:47Contra Merlin's delivery.
15:50Defended by Kluivert.
15:52The seven minutes are up here.
15:56All over.
15:58Leon.
16:00As it stands.
16:01And Leon is basically secured Champions League football towards the next season.
16:07Thank you for joining us this complete day of Match Week 32.
16:10That was the end.
16:12It was a pleasure as always.
16:13Have a great day.
16:14Bean Sports says goodbye.
16:17Let's go.
16:20Let's go.
16:21Let's go.
16:23Let's go.
16:24Let's go.
