00:00Two of the top five in France. Two unbeaten sides go toe-to-toe. Lyon hosting
00:07Rennes on match day five. This is sure to be an exciting encounter.
00:16And it is Lyon who get on the ball.
00:24And goal for them, Dominik Greif, the Slovakian.
00:33Lyon were really tested by Paris FC.
00:41Przemyslav Frankowski, the pole, completing the back four for this Rennes team.
00:49That's a heavy challenge.
00:52Yeah, Katte from behind.
00:58Tomasson with the delivery, drawing out the keeper.
01:01Punched away by Greif.
01:02And the shot comes in.
01:04And it is cheered.
01:09Here's an opening for the home side.
01:11Numbers forward.
01:12And they have the opening goal.
01:16Ernest Nwama was left all alone.
01:21And the Ghanian has fired Lyon in front.
01:321-0 Lyon after just six and a half minutes.
01:36And it's the third goal of the season in all competitions.
01:41For Nwama.
01:51Well, it's a crowd-pleasing goal, this one.
01:54Very well worked.
01:56Lovely touch from Appenda in the build-up.
01:57And it's just about onside.
02:01The pass across was perfect.
02:06And the finish through the legs of Samba.
02:11Delight for Lyon.
02:12They lead early in this game.
02:17Another corner for the visitors.
02:20That's Bistrup.
02:21Heads it away.
02:22Another shot from distance.
02:31Free kick for Lyon.
02:33Foul on Appenda.
02:42It's a good ball in.
02:43And an instinctive attempt.
02:47Shot from range.
02:48Is on target.
02:49And a second attempt's blocked.
02:53Had a lot of assists with Lens over the last few seasons.
02:57He's already got two in the league.
02:59Trying to find a teammate here.
03:01He's done so.
03:02Oh, Lyon have won it.
03:04And they have a real chance to make it too.
03:06It's Nwama again.
03:07And this time, he can't beat Briz Samba.
03:13And they're challenging Lyon.
03:17Just about getting on the ball in the end.
03:20Schultz on for Lois Openda.
03:22First time.
03:23No trouble for Samba.
03:27Another sign of Lyon's intent.
03:33It's Bistrup.
03:35Good early pass.
03:36Schultz has room on the left here.
03:39Oh, that's a brilliant move and a brilliant second goal for Ernest, Nwama and Lyon.
03:522-0 to the home team.
03:54And that man is on a hat-trick.
04:09Well, everyone knew this was a key game just before the international break.
04:16Lyon are right up for it.
04:18Lyon are right up for it.
04:19Too casual from Rennes in midfield.
04:22And as Francais warned, Lyon are very, very good on the counter-attack this season.
04:28And that is the perfect example.
04:32Well-timed pass from Schultz.
04:36And a beautiful first-time finish from Nwama.
04:40It's Lyon 2.
04:43Cheki international bringing Nathakami into it.
04:46And Nwama in space on the right.
04:49He's in a hurry.
04:50He wants a hat-trick.
04:51He doesn't get it this time.
04:55The game could be called off completely if certain chants continue.
05:04Contant Aliso is quite rightly over to the ultras to ask them to use their influence,
05:14the leaders of the main fan group.
05:19And the referee will get a report from the match director.
05:27Certainly, it's bad timing for Lyon.
05:30And Fonseca is doing his best.
05:35He's going to go over to have a word, too.
05:38Yacate is there, as well.
05:42They're leaving, as well.
05:59And there is a warm-up.
06:12That's half-time.
06:14Very impressive first half from Lyon.
06:18And one man standing out in particular.
06:22Ernest Nwama, they're getting in with two goals.
06:25He could have had a couple more.
06:27And as things stand, Lyon are in a commanding position.
06:32Lyon 2, Rennes 0 is the score at the break.
06:38We are ready to go for the second half.
06:41It is Lyon 2, Rennes 0 on match day five in Ligue 1.
06:54Well, Lyon, in a very strong position, looking to go second in the table with victory tonight.
07:02And if they do so, they would inflict a first defeat on Rennes.
07:05United with Tomasson this season.
07:08Tomasson's corner.
07:10That wasn't a bad one from Cresswell.
07:19Interesting that A's made no changes at halftime.
07:27Still, we wait.
07:32Now it's Atakame.
07:35Lovely football again from Lyon.
07:39Bitstrap for Openda.
07:41He has support from Abner.
07:44How has it stayed out?
07:46It didn't stay out for long.
07:50Zachary Atakame has made it 3-0 to Lyon.
08:03What a night this is turning into for the home team.
08:09Start strong in the second half.
08:11Those are the words of Corontan Tolisso, the captain, right before the players return to the pitch.
08:16And it's exactly what Lyon have done.
08:21Great supporting run there from Abner.
08:25Brilliant ball across.
08:26Missed by Schultz and Tolisso.
08:29But not by Switzerland's Atakame on the follow-up.
08:34That's his second goal already for Lyon since joining from AC Milan over the summer.
08:40And surely that puts this game to...
08:52It's Mera.
08:53And it whistles over the top.
08:59Barely on the pitch a minute.
09:01That would have been quite the introduction.
09:03And he found the top court.
09:06Greif calls for it and claims it.
09:19You never know, though.
09:27This is promising.
09:28It's Tolisso!
09:31It's Tolisso!
09:33That is the icing on the cake for Lyon.
09:42What a performance from the Lyon skipper.
10:10Well, again, hard work off the ball.
10:16Bringing a great reward.
10:20And this was simply outstanding.
10:24What a record he has against Rennes in recent seasons.
10:28That is four goals in his last four matches against tonight.
10:48Rennes looking for a consolation goal.
10:51And Le Paul still swarming all over.
10:57This visiting line-up.
11:00On the turn!
11:01What a strike that was!
11:04Le Paul!
11:06Well, that was a good save.
11:08A statement win for Lyon.
11:12They have been brilliant tonight.
11:15Two goals from Nwama in the first half.
11:18Atakame with a crucial third at the start of the second.
11:22And then the pick of the bunch from the skipper, Tolisso, on 76 minutes.
11:27called David Sprolood petit.
