Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Montpellier HSC and Olympique Lyonnais is underway.
- 3' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Georges Mikautadze makes it 0-1.
- 8' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 8 minutes.
- 13' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 18' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Jean-Louis Gasset will be considering his options from the bench.
- 23' Olympique Lyonnais fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 28' Montpellier HSC have won 381 goals from 419 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 29' Tanguy Coulibaly was booked on 29.
- 34' The referee has no hesitation. Andy Delort is booked for Montpellier HSC — card on 34.
- 38' Tanguy Coulibaly has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 38 minutes.
- 43' Montpellier HSC are deployed in a 4-3-1-2 today, looking to exploit space against Olympique Lyonnais's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 48' Montpellier HSC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 48.
- 50' A stunning finish from Ernest Nuamah — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 53' Magnificent from Corentin Tolisso! That is 29 goals in 540 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 58' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Montpellier HSC and Olympique Lyonnais are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 62' The Montpellier HSC manager makes a substitution. Rabby Nzingoula departs to be replaced by Khalil Fayad.
- 64' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Nicolas Tagliafico on 64 minutes.

- 70' Thiago Almada is replacing Rayan Cherki for the Olympique Lyonnais side.

- 78' Malick Fofana is ready to make an impact after coming on for Corentin Tolisso at the 78 minute mark.
- 83' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Sael Kumbedi suffering a number of foals already.
- 86' The referee shows Montpellier HSC player a card on 86.
- Montpellier HSC will have plenty to reflect on. Olympique Lyonnais were simply the better side today.
