Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Stade de la Beaujoire!
- 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jake O'Brien is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Nantes.
- 10' The 32-year-old Corentin Tolisso has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Olympique Lyonnais that had 425 games and scored 569 goals.
- 16' Matthis Abline puts FC Nantes on the lead.
- 18' A meaty challenge results in booking for Eray Comert on 18.
- 23' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 28' Mama Balde is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Nantes so far.
- 33' Olympique Lyonnais seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 38' Rayan Cherki has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 41' The FC Nantes bench stirs into life. Eray Comert is withdrawn and Nathan Zeze gets his opportunity.
- 46' It looks surprising FC Nantes does not make any changes. Duje Caleta-Car has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 51' FC Nantes currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 53' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Alexandre Lacazette on 53 minutes.
- 58' The travelling Olympique Lyonnais supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 60' The crowd applauds Corentin Tolisso as he leaves the pitch. Rayan Cherki steps in for Olympique Lyonnais.
- 65' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Nantes side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 70' Over 70 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 71' That is a card for Olympique Lyonnais. Ernest Nuamah will be fuming at that decision.
- 74' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mostafa Mohamed on 74.
- 74' Another substitution for Olympique Lyonnais to replace Ernest Nuamah by Malick Fofana on 74 minute.
- 75' Alexandre Lacazette doubles the advantage! 1-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 76' Time for substitution for FC Nantes. Florent Mollet is replaced by Marcus Coco.
- 77' GOAL! Malick Fofana scores on 77. Assisted by Ainsley Maitland-Niles
- 82' Samuel Moutoussamy needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 18 Yellow cards this season.
- 86' Fresh legs for Olympique Lyonnais! Mama Balde comes on to replace Said Benrahma.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — FC Nantes 1-3 Olympique Lyonnais.
